Well, guys, I'm sorry to say this - but there has been a new development on this hack.

Originally, the Moderator here, AssassinGod - checked with Wayne Luke, the vB site coordinator, to make sure that my hack didn't violate the EULA.

It was determined, at that time, that my hack did NOT violate the EULA, and was therefore permissible.


However, since then, other people at Jelsoft have decided that it's not in their best interests to allow me to publish this information.



The official statement is this:


Upon further review...

We feel that publishing the code to remove the so-called 'call home' function is not in the best interests of vBulletin or our legitimate customers. Consequently we feel that publishing this on Jelsoft's websites is not in anyone's best interests.

We are also working on the limitations that this has imposed by using the call-home and making it more resource friendly.



What I have been told is that removing the code in question still does NOT violate the EULA, and is fully permissible. However, they don't want the information of how to do so, to be published on Jelsoft's websites.


And thus, my hack has been removed. I'm sorry guys, but unless and until they change their policy on this - I'm afraid that it's out of my hands.

Thanks for all of your support on this issue/hack - I truly appreciate it.
