Yeah, that Chen guy seemed like a real expert. I didn't know him. But when I come across some of his replies in posts at times while searching. Mainly Firefly. The way he just posts answers to problems as though its second nature to him.

I only got the chance to talk to him one time, and he really did seem like a class act guy. I wish he would come back and run this community the way he did back then.

Come back Chen!

I'm still waiting for firefly and Lesane to come back. Then again, maybe Lesane has been under our noses the whole time and we don't even know it, since his username is banned.

What happened with Lesane? I wasn't here when he was, I just went to a board that used one of his hacks, as I remember his name being somewhere in a copyright or something.

Not sure if I'm allowed to say... but he's the original coder of the store hack

Heh. I thought he was. I went through and looked at his last few posts, I didn't see anything bannable. :O

I can't remember why he was banned and I don't see any point in bringing up old drama so lets just leave it be.

He did code the first store hack for vB2 although you won't find it here any more. I remember the source files begin mostly comments though...don't ask me what they said...the swear filter would probably catch it anyway.

IIRC there were multiple exploits in that hack aswell..I can't remember if they were ever fixed by the author or not.... With that said..under the current policy I hope no one goes looking in the vB2 forum for old bugs >.> Bound to be a lot of them..

Mike (the developer) was the original founder of vBulletin.org and from him the green style comes. Later I believe chen restarted the site and such continued on to what it is now.

Lesane got pissy because he was pirating stuff and decided to up and leave. His forums run invision now, or they did last time i was reporting him to invision for piracy.

So how comes vBulletin paid Chen for the domain then (if thats true posted higher above that chen registered it and vB bought it from him). If Mike (the developer) was the original owner before Chen, he would have been the person who would have bought the domain name in the first place. And Chen would not have owned it to sell on to vB.

Unless of course Mike gave him the domain and changed register details over to Chen, so he was the new owner to be able to sell it. If thats the case, I bet Mike was rather pissed at that. Chen must have got a really decent price off vB in the sale. While the original owner Mike would have got nothing.

Unless, Mmmmm; Mike is Chen

I bet he loves you now

Out of interest, why would you report him to IPB for? You don't have anything to do with IPB. Did you have a grudge against him or something. There are a million and one P2P sites you can report if thats what you enjoy doing all day! Including many vBulletin boards..

I'm curious why you "singled" him out!

I already posted a link that explains all that MRGTB. I'll post it again incase you missed it; https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....7&postcount=28

As for Zachery...well this is exactly why you don't drag up old drama and he should know better by now.
