I think it sucks. I've been with this thread since it has been re-opened. Almost 1500 posts I've read, re-read, and read some more. A lot of us who have installed this hack have many hours invested. I agreed to your terms. I spent a lot of time working on adding this to my forums. I've uploaded, re-loaded, and edited files till I'm blue in the face.

I've followed every single rule you set. I've respected your wishes, I've helped others when I could. Why should I, as well as others be a victim of this? I understand you're pissed, but crap......

Now, you hang the good ones out to dry........

smoothie, you did this because you liked the script and saw that is way better then other portals. and you kept the copyright on it because it's part of the download agreement.
vbHome (lite) 3.5 is already a script that beats any portal out there that is used in combination with vBulletin.

as you all know, there will always be pirates who will try to cheat. that's the only reason i stopped developing the free version of the script. why spend time on it if people dont listen?
i have other things to do, like taking care of new customers who will pay me to customize their sites, or taking out my wife to shop, instead of hunting bad people...

do you really thing all coders release their work here? NO.
i bet you PPN, FireFly, Xenon or others have tons of hacks (myself, i do) unreleased.
people are forgetting this very simple fact:
is up to me what i do with my code, that i made. me, to look every day for people out to see if they respect my wish? for what? for nothing? i dont have time for this anymore. i'm not goind to make a spy "call home" on it because i'm a man of honor. if i promise something i keep my promise. so i was hoping to see that people will understand that and respect me. they didnt.

you sound upset, but you should be happy that you have this script installed on your server, and not other one with 50queries on it.
i already did alot by working on the curent version to make it run as good as it is now.
