TECK one possible suggestion is that you can further confirm (though it isn't absolutely) that they're license by making sure tha they have the latest version of vb2.2.7 and also that they can download the hacks for you... in a moments instance you can give them a link to any hack and tell them to download it... and if they can't access that page? well then you will have your answer... simply request that the user go to any hack link and view that post... (knowing that only licensed users can access them) therefore if they seem to not know what the post is about or says then you will get your answer... just a suggestion from me... regards...

i'm not gonna post any hacks to my site.
the place for hacks is at vb.org.
but if some people will want me to customize their forums, etc... i want to make sure they are legal license holders. so if they post in the thread where they normally cant if they dont have a license, then they will not have access to the forum. simple...

so it will be like that, when the user tries to access the private forum, it will be granted with the restricted message.. customized to point here at vb.org to the thread. then if he posts there, he's ok and i give him(her) the access.
