    Please forward this onto anyone you know running this mod, its a real eyeopener.

    I like to try new things and make my own mind up, people told me this mod was bad, but i like to see for myself, the results are pretty big. Do you want some quick traffic fix or do you value the long term health of your forum!?

    Ive run this mod since it started, yes it does bring traffic but it kills servers and has many other bugs, deformed pages, broken links to name a few. Just look at Google and Bing caches of your pages and in webmaster tools, many, many errors.

    Here is my server load after uninstalling VBET, the changes are dramatic. The server is a 32 core AMD with 8gigabytes of RAM and 4 SCSI 15k drives in RAID 10, a real powerhouse.

    The only thing I have done is uninstall VBET completely, not just disable in vB admincp, as this still leaves the product installed due to all the custom file edits.

    And here is Google webmaster tools reports for user page speed (data is delayed, still dropping) and crawler page speed, the results are dramatic. We're talking a up to a 10th of what it was, so 10 seconds load times down to 2! 700ms page crawl times down to 75ms.

    So all you people like me whom like extra traffic, make sure you getting that and not trading foreign language traffic and upsetting all your native speakers in the process with bad load times and deformed pages, broken links and also annoying Google and getting less native traffic than before installing. Seriously, I cannot emphasize how much this mod hurts your site.

    Take note VBET, you are doing nothing but harming vBulletin users and making money from it!
