A resounding YES!
Closing it totally for unliscenced members would make hack distribution FAR easier, if we could distribute and download full source. Like, someone could hack the crap out of a board and release it as a specialty version, etc. That would make our lives far easier... No members have liked this post.

yes, i'm all for allowing us to post whole files, the only problem is that in one of the files the liscence number is contained so you couldn't post all files. I won't mention the file as i got into trouble last time for mentioning exactly where it is.

I will give a reason for a no
 This is a community software, and as such needs to put forth the image that it is a community. FireFly has rigged the system here so that you cannot download if you are an unlicenced member. Im not sure what else can be done. Just a quick fact. The final deciding factor in my choice to purchase vbulletin was seeing the cool things rangersfan (freddie) was hacking into vB. Seeing the things that could be done to change the base software to make it fit my needs, and that there were people working towards this end constantly.

in fact people who use illegal vB don't see all forum but only (IMO) bugs and hacks.
However the most things that i hate it's see that you cannot known in all members of vB forum wich one has a license and wich one uses warez. Maybe your vbstats hack is used in several warez board and maybe you help in hacks forum the WM of a warez board. But why these people have the right to have the same possibility than customers ?

I know for a fact that my vbstats hack is used in some warez forums. Its unfortunate, but there is nothing I can do to stop it.
 I don't however see the point of closing off the forum any more than it is. This is of course just a alternate opinion, I will support whatever decision is made by John and James, just wanted to point out the hacks forum is what ultimately made me decide to make mine VB.

With out a doubt.. Yes! I payed for mine and worked hard on it.. That shouldn't mean someone can come up here and get vb for free and make it as good as the best forum here. It would seem unfair.

These changes were less about stopping piracy (although that's always a goal) but more about stopping the support of piracy. It's one thing for someone to use a pirated board; it's another for that person to come to the support forums and use a Support Team member's time helping with a product they did not legitimately obtain, when the Support person could be spending time on people who actually paid for the product.
