Hence why there is no list, and why the old list which we had was removed. (Members didn't want to be on the list too - they contacted to be removed, but still wanted to get hack updates).

The hack author can still see who has installed his hack, but we assume the hack author is not a bad person.

Erwin, doesn't any of you guys (vbulletin.org) at least find it curious that you have to go to these lenghts, while vbuleltin.com doesn't do any of that? There has been exploits to vbulletin in the past, and they have never delisted any of the forums on their directory, in sigs, or in user profiles....

When vbulletin has an exploit, they just post a release in the announcement area, that's it.

If those who contacted you to remove that hack had the courtesy to just not flaunt their URL in their profile and sigs, the rest of us don't have to deal with their paranoia.
