I guess I better start looking for another alternative...VB should create their own hacks to replace the ones that they feel that are harmful...these hacks make your product better.....

free the hacks VB....

1./ vBulletin will NEVER charge anything for access to these hacks (except for the initial license fee), vBulletin CAN never charge anything. All hacks are property of their owners and they are protected under law.

2./ We only remove hacks when it contains vulnerabilities. We don't remove them for the hell of it. I'd rather have no hacks than a board defaced by hackers. And yes, we verify all vulnerabilities before removing hacks; furthermore, all accounts of reported vulnerabilities are kept.
