Code (markup): Is this a real or someone is making fool out of me as i have so many there..!!! Please Help.Also tell me what should i do with this message should i reply or what they will gonna do with me .?? And can anybody help me with the lisence work ?? I have AP(alertpay only) Thanks
its real piratereports handles vbulletin piracy dept.. is urs really nulled if yes its better u take action
what should i do ?? Delte the software or tell them that i will buy a lisence within 10 days ?? what you say ??
if u want to buy the software then tell them ull buy it within 10 days if not its better to remove it
yes its real and very dangerous if dont delete the software they might ask your host to cancel account , but if you using a host located very far off from usa i dont think it can cause any wrong to you
you shouldnt really be using vbulletin without license anyway though... theres some decent free hosts out there....
if your not willing to pay for forum software, then use free ones, not try and rip off ones you got to pay for. like zetaboards, theres nothing wrong with them for example...
Depends on your host ( offshore or not ) .. However, I would recommend to take action as soon as possible ( remove software ) !
Anyone knows a software like vbulletin which i can get for free ?? it can be simple...!!! ill accept it..i just need 5-6 navigation and a good posting facility..thats it
Thanks frost. The cost of buying a lisence of vb is more than enough.well i think that i might switch to some offshore hosting.Coz for 180$ i can get a pretty decent hosting.Anyways. What you say ?? and if i transfer to offshore hosting ..will that cause any harm to me ? like any more mails from them ?? serious mails ?? or my website will loose its value ?? its backlinks ?? anything ?? plz help ..
Offshore hosting will make your life easier, however sometimes even this fact will not help .. About vbulletin license - I'm one of those who don't want to spend a single dime .. So, from my side - free is free and you can do whatever you want with it FOR FREE and without any stress ! Th, most of adult/warez forums are using nulled vb scripts .. You can try to do a little research on what type of hosting they are using to stay away from troubles
