oh what a nice excuse, "im chinese and i cant join these boards cause im chinese but yet i can type in english", just pathetic. people like that needs to get a better life then lie all the time cause their not doing it right.

I think they were implying they couldn't get onto the site. The Chinese connection to the internet isn't the same as people in Europe and US are used to - they access it via proxies and therefor many thousands of sites are denied to them due to government censorship.

Yes but vBulletin.com is hosted on the same box, how did they access vBulletin.com members area and download the zip in the first place?

yup thats true. that just gives us a hint, that the person is not using a lisenced version of vb and now he is asking others to get him hacks.

They probably got it off of IRC or something.

sorry for bringing this topic back to life after a month, but i have recently recieaved an email from a member that just joined asking for a hack with the best excuse ever i cant download.

I go to his website but he doesnt have vbulletin he uses phpbb, tough lost right their to get him reported.

so a good suggestion for vb.org to make is the email options should be only seen to lisenced people instead of non lisenced as well since i did notice unlisenced people cant see aim, icq, msn etc.. but why not email as well?

Well, unlicensed users (as well as licensed users) don't see your email.
They can just use the build in email a member feature.

Maybe we have to disable that.
