I'm not trying to be funny here, but Jelsoft have just shot themselves in the foot. Nothing in the license agreement prohibits this hack - the hack itself does nothing illegal.

Companies that prohibit use of something because it is not in their interest do not fair well in the public spotlight. It's like when Microsoft coded a version of Windows that wouldn't allow Netscape to work 'out of the box'.

Claiming this hack is illegal is ridiculous - claiming it is against the license agreement is less so, but still too headstrong. Just because you write a license agreement for the use of your software does not make it the word of law.

It's like a record label suing the maker of a CD writer because it might or could be used to copy CD's they make.

I have over 70 forums that I 'hosted', before I had this hack. All this does is allow the users to do the tasks they would usually have to e-mail me to do. Saving me time. This loses nobody profit - the people I host forums for would never even consider buying vB. I don't see what the problem is here.

My forums are coming up for re-newal also - if this hack is 'outlawed' I might find myself making the switch to a system that doesn't view this situation so aggresively.
