I got some sad news today about this mod. I purchased vbtubePro several months ago when it was originally being sold because it seemed like a great mod, and I wanted to support the author for his work. I also liked the mod because it was open and allowed me to make changes and modifications to the code that would allow me to customize my particular site.

Well, over the past few weeks, some things happened. The last two versions of his code has been IonCube encoded. Well, my site is running on one of the most popular hosting companies in the world, however, they don't allow Ioncube or Zend encoding on their normal levels of service. They only allow it on a dedicated server, which would raise my costs considerably. Also, the code is encrypted, so I can't make customizations to any of the screens or code. It is very disheartening.

I really, really liked vbtube Pro a lot. And the author has offered me a refund, so he is a nice guy and I understand his feelings about protecting his code. I just want to let people know that they should check with their hosting company to make sure that it supports Zend and Ioncube encoding first. Otherwise, it might come back to bite you later on, and really increase your costs. And you may not be able to make the customizations you want later on because the code is encrypted.

but using lite should be fine right?
