till the time that People like Bubble #5
understand what means respection to honesty,
respection to the time that someone spent
for giving them something for free.

We don't live in Greece so her laws (which she still hasn't told us the name of so we can check it out) is meaningless here in the U.S. Like other members here I feel that this is a matter of broken trust. Maybe on this site it matters if the code is hidden, but according to the law it doesn't matter if she tells anyone of not, because it's not supposed to be distruibuted in the U.S and is a violation under section 18(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)). I'm sorry, but I'm very disapointed in vb.org even allowing a hack like this on this wonderful site

vb.org my dear is not a US based site, but a UK one, liable to UK's and European Communities laws. But I've just a question. When you're buying something on the net, or when you're just register in a site and you're giving your details (eg name, email etc) is not the same? That's actually I did. And please keep in mind that US laws dosen't means international laws.. ok? European Community has it's own laws sometimes same, sometimes different from US.

Please provide a link/quote to the chapters you are refering to.

All i could find is: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/laws/ftca.htm
? 57a. Unfair or deceptive acts or practices rulemaking proceedings


This is clearly talking about "unfair" or "deceptive". I don't see either applying to this modification.

I am not a lawyer, and if you know more about this, then please provide both a quote of the text you mean and an explanation.

People complain like old ladies just for the sake of nagging. The most popular hack on vb.org, vbarcade, after you install it in order to get the games you need to go to their site, enter your url address of your admincp and the automated process does the games install.

The lady has contributed many hacks to the community and is straight forward about it. If you don't like it, just don't install it.

What have you contributed here at vb.org that gives you the right to try to scare talented coders away?

By my experience the one who screams the louder is the one who intended to do some kind of piratage.

Get the European's Community Law Regulation (EC) N? 45/2001 valid since 18 Dec 2000. Read careful Article 4 & 5 and then please let me in peace.

Thanks

I'm also don't live in US, so on the same meaning US laws, even respectable as must be the laws of any country, are meaningless and for sure not over the EU laws.

Great mod, but as some have said, monitored installation and auto-emailing information just goes against the spirit of vbulletin.org, nevermind all the legal mumbo jumbo.

/me does not click install.

Ok Guys, if you don't respect the facts:

• That I was totally honest with you while it was so easy to keep everything secret
• That I had another 4 mods without this restriction
• That I clearly stated that I'll remove it on 100th installation
• That I delivered you a totally free bug mod. Have you seen any comment above for any bug??

then you don't deserve anything from me. I'm getting of all my free mods so I'll have more free time for all those who trusted me and gave me their money for the commercial mods. And especially you my dear Bubble #5, you're the last one that can have as signature "If we don't help each other when we can, then we're not making this world a better place", because you became the reason to deprive from all the others something that you can't give them. Very nice way to "help each other". And someday you must understand that in the net there is no "here". For me "here" is Greece, for someone else at the same time "here" is Africa etc etc.

Im still thinking about paying for it.
Question. For those lucky enough to download before you removed it.
How do you change the pic of the man in a pot of boling water?
Even if you upload a pic, "be the first for rating" pic still stays there.

Have you approved the photo? Just one reported problem like this but finally she found that it was problem on her server when she tried it to another site.
