Link Anonymizer v1.02a & 1.03, 1.04, 1.05.3 & 1.10
Author: MarcoH64
vBulletin Version: 3.5.1
Warning: Version 1.02 might create double anonym links if you edit a post multiple times. Version 1.03 has been reported not to be working for some people. Please read posts in this thread if you plan on using this hack, until i had time to look into this. v1.05 and higher should be the best versions 1.10 Is an updated version of 1.05.3 and is considered a stable release. Only version 1.10 will be supported now.
Description:
This Product will add a self configurable anonymising link to all external urls in posts.
Local addresses are not anonymized. If you leave this option blank, the value for vBulletin Options Cookie Domain will be used. Do not use a http:// prefix.
If you start the name with a dot (.mydomain.com) all server addresses ending with this will be considered local. If you want to add mulitple domain/servernames, seperate them by a single space.
Allways anonymize Unparseble URLs (* New in version 1.10)
Please click install if you are using this hack.

Illegal? - ok so you wanna provide some privacy for your members when another member posts an external link from your forum, we all leave 'electronic' footprints in the cyber sand...but some would rather cover thier tracks (for whatever reason).
if you mean the posting of links to sites containing fine foul and birds to the gentry (examples below) then yes... personal & private habbit/hobby is bird watching i can tell you!
