Of course this system won't work when we have lots of users...

Thank you for agreeing, when someone like you is interested in purchasing vBulletin, then there is no problem. I mean. If you don't have it yet, there is nothing to report. Ofcourse, if you decide to use a warez version of vBulletin prior to purchase, well.. that wouldn't be so smart. (because even then, you are breaking copyright) Doing some research on what is possible with vBulletin never hurted anybody. vBulletin.com has a featureless version for download, a featured full version on-line for everybody to use and an full admin demo to check out the back-end. There is absolutly no reason for anybody to use a warez version prior to purchase. (not saying that you do)

This system is always hard to apply in a big community. But it is about the users who register and surf this site, that have to understand that this is a site that is only suppose to help those with a legal license. Each time I see a site of which I suspect it for running an illegal copy of vBulletin, I report it. And it is not only me who does it. Other guests, registered members and/or forum staff could do that.

The fight against warez is a hard thing to do, but I support this forum software to the max, and that includes tracking down illegal versions.

Pointing out to users who visit this site, that this site doesn't tolerate warez, (as most of the vBulletin related sites do) is something that I encourage.
