Concerning the IPB pro arcade hack

[Brad]

This hack has been removed from the public forums due to the hack's zip file containing copyrighted material.

These two files:

/admincp/admin_functions.php
/admincp/admin_skin.php

Are from the ipb 1.3 zip file, which was released under the license agreement found here: http://www.invisionboard.com/?license

You may not distribute individual copies of files, libraries, or other programming material in the Software package

We became aware of this issue back in June and after discussion with the author of the hack and IPS the files were removed until the author coded his own replacements or was given permission from IPS to distribute these files. At the time it was decided to leave the support threads open due to the large number of installs this hack received before a staff member noticed the mentioned files.

However, due to multiple links to the file after it was removed we have decided to remove the threads as well. We simply can't have links to such things begin posted, even if the author of the post is not aware that what he is linking to is illegal. Simply put we felt removing the thread was the better option, otherwise we would have to 'baby sit' the thread and remove the links as they came in.

We hope to resolve the issues with this modification and will restore the threads once the author works out the problems mentioned above.
