Default Terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi using vB3
Noticed on NBC News tonight a report about Zarqawi posting responsibility for the shooting of State Deptartment employee James Mollen. The report showed a screen shot of the posting which was clearly identifiable as vB3.

That a terrorist organization would purchase vBulletin and use it on their website is shocking. Can anything be done to remove this from their site and any funds received by vBulletin be donated to the family or other good cause?

Hmm, I seem to recall seeing what you saw a few weeks ago, and yeah, it definitely was a vB3.

Assuming that they bought it and that a major nightly news network would ever get something technical correct is also shocking.

Well if you want to discuss that, I don't think that has anything at all to do with each other.

Do you think a man who murders innocent people robs groceries to get food for lunch?

Two different ball games. I'm just raising the point that I sincerely doubt he bought his license based on what the first poster said

hmmmm... what would you do if the software being used was made and bought from you? Would you call them up and demand that they stop using your product?!?!?! What are you going to do if they say no?

Furthermore, who in their right mind would want to personally put themselves in that position?!?!?!
