Nulled VB and IBP

i knew vbulletin contracted out their piracy management to 'Pirate Reports' but i've never herd of them contacting someone after the license expired. What happened? Did you remove vb or tell em where to stick their email?

 

I heard VB closes nulled version if they got more than a complain about the same forum , not as soon as they discover it

 

im running a nulled ipb but i bought the license but since my forum is for warez.

 

The problem with anything like VB or IPB nulled is not knowing who did what to the script. VB has I bet well over 70k lines of code, and for someone to check each line to make sure someone did not leave a little back door never happens.

As someone said before... You are better off starting with PHPBB or SMF if you can not afford the software. If your forum takes off and makes you some money then upgrade.

i know a forum with 10000+ members using nulled vB for abt 2 years

 

ya better to start with free form softwares like phpbb and if it clicks then we go for v-b

 

there is a lot of forum which use NULLED V_B.
i think PHPBB is better for free forum.

 

are there any convertor to convert the VB database into phpBB database?

 

there are about millions of nulled forums running around, now the vb team doesn't care

 

stealing is stealing, using a "keygen" doesn't make any safer for anyone...lol

 

It's simple, get legitimate and licensed software to avoid such mishaps.

 

whats their sites ? some people may tell you by looking the sites

 

Rofl just dont give the links as u might be surprised by the number of members here working for vb. i have some forums running with nulled and never got caught . my secret is simple but i dont tell anyone about it

 

frankly I hope your sites get shut down. there is a term for you in spanish.


sin verguenza..

 

'sin verguenza..' what it means?

Ugh...you should ask your "friends". I can't say why someone is NOT caught but I can say how they are caught. A person normally busts them and VB has people searching for nulled versions. So I guess if no one notices you...well then you aren't caught. What percentage of nulled VB's are out there and how many get shut down is imho a better questions. Often large scripts have a tough time enforcing their license. Microsoft and Adobe being two large software developers that get nulled constantly.

 

to answer some questions I have read here:

nulled scripts look just alike as the original and they run faster 'cause they do not do the homecall before they start. I have had a nulled board over al long time before I bought the software from vBulletin.com. THEN I knew it was a good soft and worth the money. But to be honest... the nulled boards are a lot faster when opening the ACP main pages as the homecall is deleted - no annoying dismiss stuff and such...(you can't even turn that shite off).

I find it very funny that some of you talk about running nulled scripts would be sooo bad but most of them seem to have forgotten that the most boards used on this planet must be warez boards LOL so I guess they don't really mind running pirated scripts.

Well the most people I know that have used pirated programs, some day bought them. So I think it is good to differ between people that use pirated software to be "in" and others that use the software to learn about it and then when time offers the chance, buy it.

vBulletin would have a real bunch of work when they would try to get hands on every god damn board out there that is running without license, people... they sure have this pirate report office but you know how it is... as long as no one is looking at a situation nothing will be done as it would be too much of a hazle to make problems because of such a lousy copy of a board - if you count it out right they would have to pay more fees for workers that get aware of those illegal copies and then the court fees, the lawyers and so on... LOL, no one can affort that just for fun. (see, the single person running a script for say 180 dollars... to pay the workers and the courtyard fees is more than the copy would bring in... this is not effective.

So now after the scripts are nulled, they will not call home anymore... that means it would not make sense to implement something into the homecall as the scripters that null those script would just delete those passages, too as they do with the other call functions.

you know... those that are so "fine" that they tell others their board should be closed and so on just because it is a nulled script... god how far has this world come. Let them make experience with the soft and you will see: sooner or later they buy it. and well if you say now that they could get their experience on a "dead" board that they set up for educational purpose only... sure, they could but it would NOT be fun. So just think a little more open.

I have bought my legal copy of vBulletin some day... then bought some hacks from devs... but all first tried if they work out fine... many of those devs have hacks that do not work proper but want money for their bad coded stuff which I do not support, you know.

However... I wish any one of you here a great time
