Dear vb.org members,

As some of you already knew, so called "Lockdown" hack was not welcomed in vbulletin.org for years due to its high usage in warez boards. Jelsoft has decided that vb.org license system that protects hacks in our site is good enough to keep warez boards away from this hack so we are now allowing the release of this hack in our site considering it can have some legitimate uses for some of our members.

If any of our hackers are willing to release this hack here, you are now welcomed.

Ps. Lockdown is a hack that allows the poster to hide certain texts in the first post of a thread which can only be seen by replying to the thread.

wow, what prompted the change in decision?

As a matter of fact even the "ban" was not so obvious. It was just unwelcomed and many hackers prefer not to share the hack here as most were considering it unethical. On the other hand some people always thought that it can have legitimate usage in legitimate boards so it is now allowed since Jelsoft is also ok with it due to our licence system protection which keeps warez sites away.

himm I guess this became a rephrase of my post above lol.

Basically it hides text (or even links) until you reply to the thread then it shows, sort of like hidden text

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
