Good point, i thought of that too.

What about the following:

1. Plugins? (yes you can uninstall them)
2. What about plugins that create extra database tables which after you uninstall them the tables still dont go away? (yes you have to manually remove them)
3. What about plugins that add extra tables and also modify and add other tables within default vbulletin database tables? (what do you do then?)

Ok assuming you have done all of the above, barr no.3 when you install and revert all templates and run an upgrade surely an error of some sort will show up after installation? (yes i did all the above and the last point, no.3 did give me problems where i had to manually apply a "disable all hooks/hacks" string within the config.php file in order for the forum to work.

Even after i had removed all hacks it still gave me problems, knowing there is a table somewhere within my forums default database tables which still holds some resemblances to the hacks was worrying.
