Here is an example page that clearly shows the copyright and better describes what I am referring to regarding the fading/blending background.

(edit: may or may not be an example, lol, im an idiot)

Thanks again for the clarification, Boofo - But I am still confused on the vb stance of hacks/addons & copyright.

Maybe doing the copyright in white text might fix the problem on a background that lands wrong because the page is too long. Or you could do like I did and just purchase the branding free option.

As far as the homepage goes, I always understood that since it does use forms of vB code, then the vB copyright has to be there. There's really no way around a homepage the incorporates itself into vBulletin not using vBulletin code itself to do so, so that would make the copyright necessary, I think. At least that was always my understanding of the issue.
