[vB] - French Edition

[Nzo]

@hellsatan:

Thanks to the new version of vbulletin vb3.0.0 we can easily check if our french members have a licence.
We just have to use the option "password protection forum".
So the only way for french vbulletin customer to get the password is to go in a special thread on vb.org and download the file attachement (exemple : password vbulletin-fr.txt) where they can find the password. So only licenced could have the password. I know that this is not efficient at 100 % but I thinks is it the better alternative we have in more of being the easiest to manage.

A few months ago, I had already evoked this solution (based on afterburner's hack) and I steal thinking that it is one of most effective. As an unofficial site we couldn?t have the jelsoft license verification systeme, I hope not for a long .

geez wheres all the english gone :cry:

thinking about this, you all seem unable to work with yourselves, so why would anyone in their right mind wanna make you official, you need to prove yourselves in terms of coming together to make one big forum that will serve the whole french community instead of 3 small ones, all this talk of war is just dumb, it's not gonna get anything done nor acheived

Well on one hand you're right sabret00the, but on the other hand, some webmasters may want to keep their community "alive", even if they are not an official site. Imagine one french forum becomes official and not the others, will these webmasters have the hacker's permission for traducing their hacks, like the official site ? And if they ask, will they have these permissions ? We've got this problem now for vBulletin-France.com, we need help...

May be it is one of the reasons wich have created this idiot war, I'm not sure becoming official is so important for everybody, most of teams or webmasters just want to keep on traducing your work, so they only need hacker's permissions... Corbu would like to become official, that's not a problem if we keep on obtaining hacker's permissions with respect of copyrights of cource
It's not so easy to shoot two of the three forums, at least we could expect to work with ourselves, but merging the forums in a big one, difficult it'll be...

[sabret00the]

ok difficult that's granted but you claim to be doing this for the french community, surely putting your own pride and ambitions aside it would help the cause if you could show that there was 5k members all on one site all for the same reason? they wanted french support? i mean even if you can't become official after that surely you'd be recognised as the official unofficial site

Ok.
Now we have two posibilities to verify if members are licenced or not.

I suggest:
1.) Get people who want access to the Hacks to PM you with their vB.com or .org username
2.) You check it out, and if they have posted in a forum where only licenced members can (vB.org -> Full Releases, vB.com -> Troubleshooting Forum) you give them access
3.) If they haven't, you ask them to, and then if they do not you do not give them access

But this two possibilities aren't very good.
The first one cause a lot of work and as Mist says :

Then you have the problem of some warez user adding people who ask them to their 3 email addys list just so they can post. Then change it back...

The second one is not 100% sure again... On person who have access here can see the password and give it to another person Unlicenced... So he can access to the hacks category.

So as Mist said :

There's no reliable way of doing unless your intigrated with the license system.

We can choose to do one of those two possibilities but we know that they are not sure, or we can choose to stay for license system of Jelsoft...

What is the Best ? I wish people of JelSoft Team give us a response.

I would please say that the 2 forums vbulletin-Fr and vbulletin-France should unify to create one only community and to prove with jelsoft that the French-speaking community can make main efforts to prove that goodwill

I don't work for Jelsoft, but I can safely tell you that Jelsoft will not be releasing their license integration to any site that asks for it. They will approach you if they believe that they need another official site.

In the meantime, it is impossible to know whether a member on your site has a valid vB license without this system.

Staff here cannot reveal the license status of members for privacy reasons to a third party.

Please do not use any other language other than English on these forums.

Any forums found to be releasing warez or pirated programs, or hacks without the permission of the authors, will be reported and if nothing is done will have their vB license revoked.

Since this thread has really gone off-topic, I am closing it. Feel free to open a new one.
