[Suggestion] Re: Reason For Graveyarding

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Warez is free share of work without the copyright holders permission. A minor detail maybe, but it makes a big difference.

Oh - yes - Minor details are fabulous - like the minor detail of protecting vBulletin license holders whenever there's an exploit found in one of the many shared modifications available on the official vBulletin modification site.

No idea what thats supposed to mean, but Im sure you will delight in enlightening us

Um - no - in fact I won't.
It's not astrophysics Paul - and really - there's no need to spar round after round for the ultimate conclusion to have been half-answered/case-closed in post #2 --- That's called - a boring boxing match. And really - this entire thing is beginning to make me yawn.

This message is unclear and we have no clue what you are trying to say. It almost looks like you are suggesting that we should sent out warning when a vulnerability is discovered. But i doubt that is what you mean as we already do that for a long time.

Seriously guys - this is not difficult to understand! I have stated previously that I had to scour the net to find a downloadable modification -- which I originally got on vB.org -- BECAUSE the modification was in the vB.org graveyard and no longer downloadable...

So what? You send a vulnerability email out to users... What good does it do...? Especially if the modification required one or more files be uploaded? I'll tell you. It does absolutely no good (or very minimal good) because after receiving the email - I cannot logon to vBulletin.org, download the modification and see the exact uninstall process and/or which files I should delete to make the uninstall process complete.

Understand? It's simple - nothing difficult about the concept at all.

Anyway - asked & answered. Suggested, recommended and considered (HA!) -- Thanks for entertaining the suggestion.
