RE: vb3 Call To Home
 

Why do I no longer have access to this post? Why has it been moved to a secure area?

What is trying to be hidden here?

We get into a discussion about *why* it is encryped and *why* there is also an image-call-to-home and it gets closed? wow.

I think it was due to the nature of the whole thread beeing basically a huge argument, which are usually avoided on this site. It wouldnt surprise me if this thread gets closed aswell because i expect teh hack author has been contacted by a vb.org staff member about this.

There wasn't a hint of arugement at all, it was pleasant and simple educated about findings etc. - there as no "JELSOFT IS THE HAXXOR" or any kiddie-flame, which is what bugs me.

I got a PM by one of the vB.org Moderators. What I was told was that the hack has been temporarily removed, until he can get confirmation from Wayne Luke as to whether it breaks the License Agreement or not.


I am awaiting their response and decision. I would have thought that the references I made to Zachery and Scott MacVicar would have covered that - but I guess the moderator wanted to be sure. :)

If one of the crew here admits to removing it long before you posted this hack, then why shouldn't everone else be able to?

As best i remember, there was a thread at vB.com in which Wayne told someone how to remove the version call to Jelsoft because the guys forums were behind a firewall and that bit o' traffic was not allowed to pass through.. i can't remember exactly when this happened, but i know i saw it..

Well, we're back in business! All is well, and it's been formally determined by vB that I didn't violate the EULA. <whew!> :)

congrats, Ocean.. :)

Thanks. :)

so then the call home hack is perfectly fine, correct?
