I agree with Abe, if there's such a lack of care in keeping these hacks from unlicensed users, why not just open vBulletin.org to the public -- licensed or not.

it's not the question, if requests are made, it's not to distribute hacks on an official site, but in order to give a chance to a country to create forums vBulletin, to increase the number of purchase of licences in French. That engages only the coder, anybody other, free A him to accept or refuse, quite simply.

Why not Jelsoft dont attempt to shut down/or sue any un-official Vb sites ?
because simply its not worth the trouble, there are many many un-official Vb sites out there.

Why doesn't Jelsoft create a vBulletin for major countries then? There's already a German vB -- why not a Spanish vB, French vB, etc. That way all our hacks can be freely distributed and translated and still fall under the licensing permissions.

Oh and UGN, Jelsoft does attempt to shut down unofficial vB sites. I've seen a few boards shutdown due to license issues -- or lack thereof.

We all pay for our vbulletin licenses and vbulletin.org is a privilidge for all licensed users. If the hacks will be listed for unlicensed users why did we pay for our license in order to ge this privilidge. The hacks shall not be avaible for unlicensed users. And what pisses me of is vBulletin doesn't care if a site is publishing hacks because they have nothing to do. hack authors must contact the site. But i believe Jellsoft may help hack authors in this matter. Otherwise there will be no advantage buying a license.

When you purchase your license, you're not purchasing a free pass to vBulletin.org -- this site is here for purely modification purposes, even though it is run under the supervision of Jelsoft.

Be sure of a thing, much of anybody buys the licence thanks to no official sites more than official, it's a fact !

The purpose being to share, not to pirate hacks.

Put yourselves in the place of the countries which have no official site

In our forum, we can verify if a member have a licence. So if a coder would protect the translation, it's possible

Abe1, I don't understand your reaction, because the past year you had give the permission to vbulletin-france to translate your hack. I send the new mp only to be sure that you're allways OK...
Why now you aren't agree with this?

What a lot of fuss over a simple request. If you don't want to give permission then don't, simple enough. JFYI, I got the request and granted them permission, unless there is a good reason, I don't generally refuse anyone who is polite enough to ask.
