Everyone talks about the plaza having major security issues but no where can I find information on the actual issues. I have been told it had to do with putting in gifts and ribbons, but what kind of security issue could that possibly be? People can add ribbons and gifts or steal your ribbons and gifts? How does this effect the entire board enough to be concidered a major security issue? I asked over on the vbPlaza site and they just said there's no details so people won't hack. I can't help but wonder if the real issue was that the creator of vbPlaza put so much time and energy into creating it that they wanted to charge for it. I'm not saying that's bad, I just wish there was more information on exactly what the issue was. I have members asking if the plaza will be back, I would love to add it but the $50 is just too much to get the license and even worse the $20 a year afterward...$20 a year for a $50 product is asking too much IMHO. I know it takes a lot to create this sort of thing and I wouldn't even begin to think it was an easy task, it just seems like a lot. I have debated over and over again adding the 1.58 version back onto my board, but I can't get a straight answer as to whether the major security issue is a board wide issue or just a plaza issue. What kind of damage can really be done using the old plaza?
