Why this desire to rat people out? Really? what are you, the police? Have you really never done anything that is not exactly what you are supposed to do?
Actually, you Nitewalker are running a Torrent site for illegal downloads... you are not the most transparent guy out there, so mind your business, ok? And all those sucking up to JelSoft, calm down.
And no, I have nothing to do with whatever site was ratted out by this guy... the link is not there anymore and the thread is old. But I really find the vigilantes idiotic. So watch out for your own karma Nitewalker, you may get a nice lawsuit from the RIIA for your nicely illegal download site.
Also, you are running Yahoo! Ads, and you advertise "DVD Rips" that's "slightly" against Yahoo's policy, so if I was an ass like you, I would send a message to Yahoo! to let them know you are violating their policy... so my friend, really, mind your own shaise and don't suck up to Jelsoft, let them deal, or not, with piracy themselves.
The google Adsense TOS police are my favorite. They are the best
There are so many free bulletin board solutions out there that I don't see why folks want to use a pirated vB. It doesn't seem like it would be worth the risk of having your forum shut down after accumulating a lot of members and posts.
Of course, vB is hands-down the best forum software, in my opinion, and well worth the price. Sadly, there are a lot of "webmasters" out there who think all software should be free (in their words "open source"). They use this as thin justification to pirate any and all software they can their hands on.
Call me a capitalist pig, but I believe someone who makes a worthy product deserves to be rewarded for their efforts. I certainly don't believe I'm entitled to any hardworking programmer's labors for free.
Also the more pirated versions of vBulletin the higher the chance that Jelsoft would have to raise prices in order to compensate for lost revenue, it most likely won't happen but if no one reported dodgy sites then it would be a possibility. I'm sure no one wants that .
Not necessarily true, you'll be surprised how many people actually bought vBulletin because they tried a pirated version first. Liked it, and bought it.

Hate to admit it - but this applies to me irate:
Now I'm definitely a vB LOVER - legal and loving it!
