Default RE: vb3 Call To Home

Why do I no longer have access to this post? Why has it been moved to a secure area?

Of course. But then it's obvious that its purpose is not just to check for a new version.

Otherwise, it would be like Microsoft trying to stop piracy of MS Word by making it difficult to disable the AutoCorrect function.
What is trying to be hidden here?

We get into a discussion about *why* it is encryped and *why* there is also an image-call-to-home and it gets closed? wow.

I think it was due to the nature of the whole thread beeing basically a huge argument, which are usually avoided on this site. It wouldnt surprise me if this thread gets closed aswell because i expect teh hack author has been contacted by a vb.org staff member about this.

There wasn't a hint of arugement at all, it was pleasant and simple educated about findings etc. - there as no "JELSOFT IS THE HAXXOR" or any kiddie-flame, which is what bugs me.

I got a PM by one of the vB.org Moderators. What I was told was that the hack has been temporarily removed, until he can get confirmation from Wayne Luke as to whether it breaks the License Agreement or not.


I am awaiting their response and decision. I would have thought that the references I made to Zachery and Scott MacVicar would have covered that - but I guess the moderator wanted to be sure.

If one of the crew here admits to removing it long before you posted this hack, then why shouldn't everone else be able to?

As best i remember, there was a thread at vB.com in which Wayne told someone how to remove the version call to Jelsoft because the guys forums were behind a firewall and that bit o' traffic was not allowed to pass through.. i can't remember exactly when this happened, but i know i saw it..

Well, we're back in business! All is well, and it's been formally determined by vB that I didn't violate the EULA. <whew!>
