You can remove the linkback! Don't believe me: http://www.mustangevolution.com/forum/

Bottom

You can not remove the copyright however.

Like I said if the price is out of your budget so be it. It isn't out of mine. Apparently people are buying, I don't see how you can hold that against a company for pricing a product at a price that sells.

Let me ask you this to all the people that praise Dean's modification:

Can you provide me a link to your site using his modification?

I am in the process of creating a feature list of both hacks that way you can compare.

What made my mind up on VBSEO is this:

1) Takes me 5 minutes to install
2) Gives me one control panel to control all of my rewrites (inside and outside of forum directory)
3) Removes duplicate content
4) Redirects all old threads even when you change the name after installing this hack
5) Has a team of support personal that quickly answer my questions, instead of one person who has many hacks and other projects that take his time up
6) 150 dollars and this product is mine. 150 dollars may seem like a lot to you people but it isn't for something that gives me what I want above and is reliable. Something as important as rewriting the urls that people use to get to my site.
7) With one click I can redirect my archive thread urls to the actual thread itself which is much better than having a vanilla page for people to view.

Mainly support and ease of use sold me on this product. In my opinion this isn't something for new sites, this is something to put the icing on the cake after you have worked hard on building content and want to clean your site up.

They are also working on new features to be included as well.
