This is an alright mod, but, let's get one thing straight:

You're using someone else's script. You had your little minion or whatever he is go in the thread of the original script and direct it to this thread, saying production had been moved, like you guys weren't a third party. Not only did you hijack their thread, but, you're trying to include a copyright notice you have to pay to get rid of? For what? Changing a few scripts someone else made for a forum software someone else made? What did you do again? Everything isn't even in proper XHTML.

I'm not trying to be mean, but, someone needs to tell you that what you're doing is wrong, and selfish, and I'm fairly sure it's illegal, too. If someone gives you free code, you better have written permission to modify the code and distribute it as such without end users being able to use the code without attribution. Are you even using a Creative Commons License, or do you think you can just demand we keep a copyright notice in our footers? You should include an option in the admincp to remove or keep the copyright and ask politely that they keep it, if you're THAT adamant on keeping the thing in there.

PLENTY of users have put in thousands of times more work than you have and don't try forcing a copyright on you. They recognize, in most cases, that they don't deserve one. vBSEO has a copyright, but, they allege that they can increase your forums traffic and ranking in popular search engines however many times in however long. You have a profile modification.

I'm sorry, but, get over yourself.

And mods, I'm not trying to flame him, but, I GROSSLY disagree with his stance on this, and I used proper English and no obscenities, so, please don't delete this.

Someone else should make a mod that does everything right and it's full of itself. If no one does soon, I will.
