Nobody wouldn't have to be concerned about having their name associated with anything if mostly everybody didn't insist on hijacking the vB footer and displaying their own name with a link back to their site

No but seriously. If I were to sell a hack and say that no Muslims are allowed to purchase and use my hack because I don't like how their religion treat women (which I don't, btw), that would have caused uproar and here in Norway I could be charged with racism.
Its the same deal, yet anyone who can defend the denial of purchase based on religion is hereby dared to do that in a country with racism laws

Well, that may very well be true, but I do believe that I have more to worry about from the rippers out there than from someone hauling me into court for refusing to sell them a $20 skin. Don't get me wrong, I treat everyone who comes to my site with respect and appreciation and don't just blow them off. So far, anytime I've run into this situation it has been handled amiacably for both parties.

You bring up a good point Revan...

I'm unsure if vBSEO are aware of this religion, but what about Cantheism?

Surely denying Cantheists a licence could constitute as religious descrimination...

I laugh at you and other when they say this, the only ppl that dislike this product are the ones who can't afford it. I've been reading alot about how to promote your site and I still argue that you don't need any seo to be successful.
you can look at the largest boards on the net and they don't have fancy url's like this.
there are many other things you can do to your site to make it SEO, that doesn't involve some high priced product to have a like on your site

a note to the thread starter or anyone interested in other editing you can do to seo your site, I'd check out this forum

http://www.vbwebmaster.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=16 some great info here and discussion

good luck to everyone
Actually it isn't over priced It does what I want and the price is fair for me. So to me it isn't over priced.

We can go back and forth all you want. I'm glad you can afford it but the majority can not.

Yes that is all great and all but where does the Companies rights go? Do they just vanish in the name of money?

Where do we draw the line?

A lot of people say vBulletin is overpriced too. Everyone has their own opinion.

No, Loco.M is the only opinion that matters in this thread. He laughs at us remember! He laughs at us because we are happy with the product we paid for! Amazing huh!

I think quite a lot of people think it's overpriced because of the very few files it uses compared to vBulletin. Yet it's priced around the same as vB. I know that doesn't account for the amount of man hours he may have put into re-searching it etc.

But my guess is that's a main reason why many people think it's overpriced. When you could also compare it to the likes of vBGallery before it was taken over which used many more files than vBSEO and was a much bigger product overall and cheaper.

That's why I personally think it's overpriced. I don't really see how vBSEO can demand a price the same as vBulletin which it needs to even function.

I love how you blatantly ignore valid points and keep spewing that same phrase (reworded or otherwise).
