so whats up with vbhosting hack?
 

is this thing going to be allowed to be supported here or not? whats the verdict on this addon?

At present it is not allowed due to the license implications: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...754#post490754

Without scanning through that whole thread about it, what exactly does this hack do? :)

that was a great discussion, it grows to 25 pages in just a few days. it's Vb.org most impressive record

it makes it where registered users can request to have a sub forum created for them, where the user is is like the admin of that sub forum...can change the styles for that forum only, make sub forums under it, admin the forum its been allowed to have...

its a great addon...

I don't see why that would be disallowed...

it has everything a vb board has, style, banner,....but in role of a subforum.
dose anyone have that hack ? it's darn I was wondering if I would test it then I lost in since Wayne Luke locked, so sad I didn't have it just for test >_<

The argument on the part of Jelsoft was that it could be used to effectively sublicense vB which is against the spirit of the license agreement (although I could see a good laywer easily making the point that it is not in a technical violation of the license--and Jelsoft has not changed the license agreement due to the hack).

Just as with any piece of software, it could be used for ultimately unlawful purposes, at least in Jelsoft's mind.

That's... pretty lame. Although I haven't looked into all of the hacks features, not that I could anymore, I don't know. But, basically it's just a standard thing, isn't it just the same to add a Moderator and let him control one forum? And that's built in, so are they going to block one of their own features? :p :rolleyes:

I'm not here to debate it, I am simply stating what happened with that thread and its corresponding hack.
