No disrespect to anyone here but people are going on about how will you protect the hacks from unlicensed users, well if vb.org can't do it how can others?

I've seen forums where people request hacks from specific threads on here and someone will get them, let's not think that this is some sort of super secure site because it's not, if hackers want a hack they will get it, end of story.

Live Wire good luck on your site m8, everyone here wants to make a successful site and your no different, and again no offense to vb.org but it's good to have somewhere to go that's not affiliated with Jelsoft, and not to have some crew members that feel they are above the rest, and that's not a criticism it's just an observation.

Dean C...where is this statement from Jelsoft? I would like to know for future reference, thx!

I was about to ask that same question. I don't remember anyone from Jelsoft stating that, 'vBhosting is no longer allowed and has been banned forever'. This is what i remember:

Ok well after a little digging it seems that it's against the license agreement to use the vBhosting modification. However it's not against the license to distribute the modification. I hope that's cleared it up a little more for everyone.

Actually this doesn't clear things up. If this is official from Jelsoft it should be outlined somewhere...can you please post us a link? Thx!

It was discussed behind the scenes. Contact Wayne Luke if you wish to clarify it further

Hmmm, wouldn't it be better if this was added to the EULA or at least posted somewhere instead of "behind the scenes"? Think of it this way, at least it would be open for public viewing and no one can say they didn't know....
