Vba Gallery Alternatives

[MPDev]

Just a heads up, Albinator effectively went out of business some time ago. If you look at their support forums, the product is no longer supported and hasnt been for more than a year or two. I'm not sure if they are even taking orders anymore; it appears that at some point the author up and left for other ventures and left the support to one of the customers who wanted to try and make a run with it.

Things may have changed, I haven't checked in there for a long time; but you should do a little research on that before you make a purchase.

personally i have no problem with the people over at PP and will continue to use the software, download updates and what not as long as they continue to maintain the product i'm after which is essentially a mod for vBulletion, should the products be merged i may have a problem but for now i really don't and wonder just why theirs all this animosity towards a product that's already installed and being used? (rhetorical question).

Basically, I do not own brand-free licenses, and I do not agree with pp's business practices and don't want a link to advertise them on my sites.

I'm not entirely sure about copyright legalities, but since you bought it at the time it was known as vBadvanced Gallery and have not "agreed" to their licencing terms, you can display the vBadvanced Gallery copyright as that is what you agreed to...

good point chris but read over the agreement to check for changes of ownership or clauses thay may affect your decision.

Indeed...

I'd investigate the legal issues with this entirely before attempting to circumvent PhotoPost's wish for their new licence agreement compliance

I get the whole "stick it to the man" mentality; but we all have choices to make. You can keep the same product, get an additional year of free updates and support or you can go out on your own and hope nobody notices (or you can just substitute another product). It's unlikely that anyone is going to sue you to change your copyright, but again, it all comes down to choices.

If you want support and updates, the choice is easy. If you don't; well, I wish you the best on your future endevors.

As a vbgallery user, I would like to make a token protest in this thread that it has been denied the opportunity to be praised adequately on vb.org due to the commercial hack limitations in place, where as its free competition is allowed publicity.

Vb.org is communist IMO

Be that as it may, they are our policies and we stick to them...

This is not the place for heated Photopost vs vBaGallery discussion - Light informative references to it, are allowed - The thread started that was closed crossed the line...

At the end of the day, what is done is done; There are plenty of places to discuss this if you look for them, so please, take all your heated anti-Photopost Pro vBaGallery chat to those places and leave these particular politics out of vB.org
