Because its not storing the message inside the users table.

Inside includes/functions_vbplaza.php...

Find:

				// add this ribbon into the array
				$curribbons[$ribbon['ribbonid']] = array(
					'ribbonid'	=>	$ribbon['ribbonid'],
					'ribbonname'	=>	$ribbon['ribbonname'],
					'userid'	=>	$ribbon['fromuserid'],
					'username'	=>	$ribbon['fromusername'],
					'cause'		=>	$ribbon['cause']
				);

Replace that with:

				// add this ribbon into the array
				$curribbons[$ribbon['ribbonid']] = array(
					'ribbonid'	=>	$ribbon['ribbonid'],
					'ribbonname'	=>	$ribbon['ribbonname'],
					'userid'	=>	$ribbon['fromuserid'],
					'username'	=>	$ribbon['fromusername'],
					'cause'		=>	$ribbon['cause'],
					'message'	=>	$ribbon['message']
				);

Then ur hack should work after you rebuild all ribbon postbits in the Admin CP.
