Please tell I am mistaken.

That was my understanding when I suggested ways to hack Zoints to disable parts of Zoints that either lead people away from your site or don't fit in with your site. At this point I would pull the hack but a lot of my members are using the features. As a matter of integrity, I haven't altered the Zoints hack. However, I haven't run across any other FREE hacks I can think of in all my years of modifying VB that don't allow you to make your own customizations to their code (aside from not removing copyright notices, of course). Seems really silly to me. We're allowed to modify our PAID vBulletin scripts all we want, but Zoints won't let us modify their FREE plug-in? I don't get it, but I'll follow the rules -- but they should reconsider. Someone else will eventually come up with something similar with no restrictions.
