Yes, my English is poor. Very poor. But I'm pround that even this low level English I teached them myself. 40-45 years ago where I was in high school and being a child of a 5 children family, there were no money for studying English. I learned English on the same time that I learned coding. I had the English book for programming, read it, then using my vocabulary I was trying to understand what on heck that "locate" means and then I was testing the code in my PC. That's why I'm pround. Because I got all my education just by reading books. Never studied more than hight school and not because I didn't wanted it.

So, as a lat step to drop the masks, and see if it's true what you wrote, that you can't modify the code to exclude the pages powered by my mods. Here is the code. As you can see it's just 4 lines of code. Check the validity of this code, then check (if your don't count my word), that my mods have nothing to do with other mods and/or vB forum engine, and finally add this code to you mod. If you really believe in fair play, you can do it.

I'm not placing my terms as you said. I'm just offering a solution in case that you believe in fair play, in case that you're really gentleman with the good meaning of these words which are English words using worldwide as standard for their meaning.

$restrictedpages = array('ads','adsusercp','adsmodcp','auctions','aucusercp','aucmodcp','reviews','revusercp','revmodcp');
if (!in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, $restrictedpages)
{
 .......show your copyright.....
}

This code will hides your copyright from my Classifieds, Auctions and Reviews pages. It will appears in all other pages.

I can say that latelly things are goind better in vb.org in 2 ways:

1. Less users are removing the copyright
2. Much less users are rating your mod as Terrible before even finish your post. It was impossible to believe what happening a couple of years ago. Without any download you were founding a 1 star rating.
