Nulled VB and IBP

some of my friends are using nulled vB or IPB forum softwares.
How they spared from caught?
any idea?

 

Post their website URL, I would like to take a look. I am wondering if a nulled version looks different then the real thing.

 

lmfao!! a surefire way to get them reported.

as for me, I always run legit software - its not worth having a forum go big then lose it all because you were too tight to pay the $180 to start with...

be legit!

 

lol thats the way to get them burned for good. Maybe vB will come over their house and take lots of $$$ away.

 

Yes, You should Report Piracy Departments, They will take actions.

Nulled version is same licensed, no need for license keys, as they are cracked.

 

Yup. As soon as they are found (and they will be found), vB will shut them down pretty quickly.

 

Not true.

You can now get a keygen that will automatically generate a vb customer number and license number. It then inserts it into every vb file in the same place where a legit version has theres so if you have a nosey host, that wants to see if your vb is legit or not, the files look genuine.

You can even use other vb compatible software that checks to see if you have a valid vb license number, like photopost pro, and it will work fine.

Off course call PHP call backs are removed. Its now almost impossible to tell if a vb forum is nulled or not unlike a few years back when nullers would leave little signs of their work.

Of course, you can always submit any suspicious urls to vb piracy. But that depends if your a grass or not!

 

I dont agree that it "depends if your a grass" as we have all paid good money, and are supporting further development of vB, is it fair that others copy the work??

 

It's not about fair. I myself own a legit copy of vb but i would never tell vb if i found a site using a nulled copy.
The reason for this is because i have been brought up to not rat people out. If it affected me personally i would keep it quite from others but deal with that person myself.

However, i can see that other people, who have paid for a vb license, might get annoyed and report it if they dont have the same ideas as me about grassing.

 

I've used a nulled IPB and vB for a while.

 

But some people (like myself) may not for now have $180...... I use phpbb atm but I don't like it much at all.

nut legend

 

Some Nulled copies comes without keygen, you can find. But i hate nulled, as it is a theft. Do you like to steal any one notebook, pen pencil etc ??? I think, no . So, why softwares

If you have no money, you should go with FREEWARES

 

I know but i was just answering mudassar when he said:

Also, a nulled version that uses a keygen is far more safer for people using nulled versions than if they used one without.

 

And when that fails... get a nulled version Only kidding!

 

i hv seen many forus running for so long, that are nulled, u cant do anythin untill u seriosu to report them directly On VB or IPB site...!!

 

Probably because they haven't been reported or picked up yet. Simply that.

 

I think vBulletin have subcontracted a group of corporate bulllies to oversee this sort of thing now. Last month, I let one of my licenses expire and I promptly received an intimidating email from them indicating I had to remove the software or buy a new license etc. So I imagine it'll be only a matter of time for your friend before they find out about the nulled installations and "send the boys round"
