Is up to you. If you want, you keep the links. If you don't, I can't force you to do this. That's why I left the file here, instead of moving it to my forums.
But is a matter of ethics. If you like my work and you see the difference from other scripts (which they "borrowed" part of my code), a small link at the bottom, that 99% of the time is not clicked, should not bother you, especially if you place a logo anywhere you want on that page. Nobody is stopping you from putting a big logo in the advertising area, with your referral.

I'm simply not going to use it. The old copyright text you had worked very well in my mind. I might have used your portal if it stayed like it was.
I like your work very much Floren, but I do have a problem with the attitude you display here from time to time. That is probably the biggest reason I won't install this portal on the board I have in the works now. I think I have said it before, but I'll say it again; sometimes it helps to take a few deep breaths before posting.
You might have noticed that I don't post nowhere near the volume I did before, and the sole reason is the way quite a few posts turned out to be dung-flinging contests. You're not the only one, but you were sure one of them.
And just in case it drowned in the rest of my rant, I'll repeat it again: I respect your work very much, so don't consider my criticism an attack on your skills or anything. I just have a habit of looking at stuff from a slightly different angle.
