Concerning the IPB pro arcade hack
 

This hack has been removed from the public forums due to the hack's zip file containing copyrighted material.

These two files:

/admincp/admin_functions.php
/admincp/admin_skin.php

Are from the ipb 1.3 zip file, which was released under the license agreement found here: http://www.invisionboard.com/?license

We became aware of this issue back in June and after discussion with the author of the hack and IPS the files were removed until the author coded his own replacements or was given permission from IPS to distribute these files. At the time it was decided to leave the support threads open due to the large number of installs this hack received before a staff member noticed the mentioned files.

However, due to multiple links to the file after it was removed we have decided to remove the threads as well. We simply can't have links to such things begin posted, even if the author of the post is not aware that what he is linking to is illegal. Simply put we felt removing the thread was the better option, otherwise we would have to 'baby sit' the thread and remove the links as they came in.

We hope to resolve the issues with this modification and will restore the threads once the author works out the problems mentioned above.

Bummer.

Only right though ... I`m sure no-one here would be happy with someone distrubuting one of there hacks ... hack or forum itself, it's owned code at the end of the day.. It`s a shame to see it go I know, but its for the best

that does suck...wasn't there some links in there where we could download like alot of games at once in a giant .rar file or something..

any posiblity of getting that back or is it gone for now as well

kinda true dude, but it was in some members sig... he had a link to his personal collection of 590 V3 arcade games.... no good to you if your using IPB pro i suppose.

v3arcade games work with the IPB pro arcade hack without any problems as far as I can tell. Most of the game packs you will find are v3arcade games, or that's what was true for me anyhow.

Hi,

It is sad that the thread has been deleted, but the fact is there wasn't a hack there, just a link to a third party website, perhaps in time the hack will fixed without copyrighted code.

taffy

The threads have just been moved out of the public eye. If the author fixes said issues we will move the threads back into the public forums.

We like to keep records, just because something is deleted doesn't mean it can't be restored ;). We are always willing to take the time to work through things, hopfully this modification will see the light of day again. :)

As Chris, the main developer of the ibProArcade, is absent for about 5 weeks now and even his co-developer does not know about where he is, I doubt that there will be a fix soon or even done.
Development is on focus for the v3.0 of this arcade-hack ...

So bad :(

Hmmmm, look at the mentioned tar.php:

Well now John, you have no competition. :)

But in all seriousness, we need something like this for 3.5, whether it's a beta or not, something is needed.
