I wont get involved in petty arguments, each person has something valid to represent

At the end of the day vBulletin is also still a product and the information gathered by the forums on my servers is our property. To protect this property from exploits is no different

when exploits are found with vBulletin they do not send out an email to all their users telling them to uninstall.

all I am saying is that this could have been dealt with differently

Hi Paul, this I understand

the timing was what I questioned

I voice my concerns regarding microhellas, it is not an attack on any party in any way but more a hope of avoiding similar scenarios in the future

I am thankful for the work done by vB.org however there are often many ways to skin a cat
