[Terrablade]

From the error message it appears that you have not deleted all files from the vbSEO package. You must do that manually.

In @ShawneyJ's list: "Delete/remove all vbseo files include .htaccess from your server via ftp or cpanel."

@ShawneyJ - Thank you for giving him a hand with this. Very kind of you.

[ShawneyJ]

vbseo is a real pain to uninstall.

just to be sure, your .htaccess is empty ?

[Terrablade]

So I put everything back in ftp and site loads, but with the same issue that we started. So im going to install vbseo AGAIN lol and go from there.

Why can't you just disable vbSEO, why are you trying to uninstall it? You may be causing yourself a headache for no reason. There is only two things I can see as a potential problem if it doesn't alter default key tables in vbulletin. The .htaccess files as @ShawneyJ suggested and maybe a bitfield.xml file if they have altered the default bit-fields in a weird way.

Remember: I do not run vBSEO so the wisdom you are receiving, is equivalent to how much you are paying for it.

vbseo has to many security holes. it needs to be removed.

he/she can disable in vbseo panel.
but, there comes a time it would need to be removed, like backing up your site with vbseo lurking in the background.

the other pain is, vbseo can never ever be used after uninstall as the serial number can never be activated again because vbseo shut down.

which .htacess

yes.
