You know after our wonderful little back and forth ear beatings and your doubting my statement someone from Jelsoft , I guess I should post the unedited email from me to him first and then his reply. It is included @ the end of this post. I dont want James from Jelsoft to even be included in this nor do I feel it is right he even be mentioned. I respect the man for answering like a man.

Secondly , about WAREZ , you know , the reason software costs so much is GREED not warez. WAREZ account for less than 5 percent of the user base. It is greed that makes Adobe charge 599 or 699 for Photoshop ... not my our whomevers actions. It called GREED. That is not my fault , that the net has exploded to a point that it is all that people seem to talk about. The fact is that PORN is way way way more involving than warez.

Third , I come here on the advice of someone from Jelsoft you can believe it or not that is not my problem. I have never lied nor felt the need too. The fact you that the first 15 or so people here wanted it for warez usage is bad. How am I suppost to know that fact being new to the board ? I mean really they are stupid for coming here looking for it when its common knowledge warez people dont like to be known I find that statement kinda outlandish and maybe out of line. Though Sure its bad , however what about the other say 35 or 50 or 100 or 2500 that might have found legit usage of this ? You know the negative actions of a very small sector of the community should not be held against those wanting it for legit reasons. When brought up on the Ikonboard community (by me) everyone was going nuts over it for legit reasons. Maybe we are more open to NEW CONCEPTS???

Fourth , I didnt say threating statements towards anyone , other than big mouth come and give it to me. Its called trash talking if your big time basketball stars can do it how come I cant ? ... You dont see them getting deleted or censored?

Fifth , you are dealing with someone quite well versed and my usage of upper case letting and the like is my way of expression. I am quite vocal and active when I speak in general and I dont care if you dont like it , and the fact you brought up about your family that was quite disburbing in the regard that what does that have to do with anything in my comments? The fact you ride the straight and narrow is your choice not mine on the term and usage of illegal software.

And in closing before I post the emails , the facts are not supportive in your actions , as I never once crossed that line in using negative language , it was only when provoked. All I wanted to do was get the code and convert it into coding for our Ikonboard users thats it ... little did I know I was entering hostile waters and walking on landmines. I know I am new here , and but you got to be way way more open to the back and forth banter that heated discussions bring upon you , and deletion is only used when needed not as a way to try to silence the masses or someone taking on a more than usually hot topic.

Thanks for your time and opinions none the less even if I dont agree with them.

EMAIL time. UNEDITED. Read on.

Chuck,

Apologies for the delay in response - the lockdown script isn't included with the standard version of vBulletin, but I believe that it is available as an unofficial code "hack". For more information, please visit the "code hacking" forum on the vBulletin community forums: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

Please let me know if you require any further assistance.

All the best,

James Limm
