Default Regarding the vBHosting Hack

This hack has been removed while its legality is investigated. If it is determined to be within the license, it will be returned.

*sigh*... this sucks.

I don't see anything wrong with the hack... it's not like the users have the full features of a vB forum... they just could customize the look of their very own part of my forum..

Sad news. I guess Jelsoft are worried this excellent hack will eat into license sales.

OMFG. Did my post say nothing? It lets a user create forums under a subforum and manage it. It is one instance, one installation. It TGOwhatever was legal, which basically let people have free vBs, then that hack is definately legal. *sigh*

As long as you don't give sub-forums out to other individuals nothing will happen. Chances are your system is completely incompatible for future vBulletin upgrades, but you knew that going into it right?

Maybe we need a VBHacks website not CONTROLLED by Jelsoft?

Upgrading vB will be no problem - almost no parts of the vBulletin are changed, there's just an additional admin interface to control it.

I was just wondering. It does use only 1 license? 1 Copy of the files? I have not checked out the hack myself, but I doubt there is any new installations of the whole vBulletin system itself. Can we get a clear statement of why an investigation is needed, and what exactly is being investigated?
