Jelsoft. START YOUR LAWYERS.

It will possibly, since the owner is a jerk, really. IIRC, Wayne Luke posted on vBulletin.com to report it to Pirate Reports, so I assume Manuel is lying.

I gotta admit, I'm curious to see how far they get with it though, I mean, I just ran a copy of litebulletin off localhost, and well, it seems like a vbulletin clone, if they can get away with making a free version, more power to them.

the thing is we are doing it under ground but this guys want to make it legit on what they are doing which seems bit funny.. but interesting I hope they dont get in to some troubles!!

so what? you want to do it underground forever? if this guy gets by.. damn then you won't ever have to go underground anymore.

Should be supporting him and not bashing him.

I hope all bashers boards get busted here.

I agree with them. hope all the best of luck to them i mgith change from vb to them in 2010 if its still exist i want to give it sometime to see if its actually worth changing it.
I would also like to see them creating new MOD's for their forum software.
If its all legit, then they have done a great job.

I think its gr8, now maybe vb will get off their high horse, and charge less !!! in my work not vb related, price talks and bullshit walks, if u want less rip or copy cats to fuck with ur biz, lower ur price !!! Its called Capitalist..

I personally bought my vb and have it, for last few years and very happy with it, how ever when i see more and more nulls are out, that only shows one thing, price is too high for avg people!!! after all we all know almost %90 of u legal or not will close ur forum with in the first year.. 3 Reasons run out of money or your host will drop u for been a warez, or not enough traffic and you'll give up..

So my suggestion is go to vb and lease it, this way u only invested like $80 and u are now legal and get upgrades.

Tell me if i am wrong ? guys don't get me wrong, I'm probly one of the largest warez site in the net, how ever at least 2 ppl I don't fuck with, my hosting sever and my script ( vb ) they are the only reason my site is up and running !!!

Few good tips, if u are running a warez site, you need at least 10,000 posts and must have 5 good staffs !! must have shit load of posts & uploads and submit to all large submit sites, and do not add advertising in it for the first 6 months, most users do not go to any forums which have pops or many advertising.. also the last tip don't fucking get a share hosting in USA...

The problem here is that they are using vBulletin idea's in their 'own' (copied from MyBB) bulletin board. Ehh, this will not work, especially because they will not provide so much support for it, and security risks will be higher.

I would wish them well, if they started from the beginning, like vBulletin did. Supporting vBulletin Skin or Plugin system is a good idea, but the board itself will be just not good.

Well they are using MyBB source code which is now GNU GPL v3 licensed which can be used by anyone! Even as far as i know, you do not have to use MyBB as source if you do not want to credit them. Read their full license!

MyBB - License Agreement

Now what they did is tweaked and modded MyBB to give look and feel of Vbulletin which many other people are already doing. So I do not think so any one can take them down!

Personally i don't care if they call it their own or not. As long as it has the vb features and is free, god damn it then its good.

Hey, why do this? If you don't like it don't install it. I think much people here have a null version of vbulletin and they don't want to pay 180$ for a license. LiteBulletin is free and is similiar to vb..
Anyway they don't violate any copyright.

all's i have to say, is

"Good artists copy, Great artists STEAL!"

which means, to me, "all the best stuff, is usually a mix of all the good stuff" ...

and, did anybody stop to think, that they didnt want to start from scratch.. perhaps mybb had what they wanted, just not quite right... like vb, had what they wanted, but to damn expensive..
we all just use stolen software, call it nulled, and pretend its all good.. at least these guys are attempting to create their own legit answer... i dunno, i think all you guys are bein a little harsh.. we hide underground with our nulls, and they are right out there in the open saying "we wont pay the price, well just do it ourselves" ...
now, if they copy vb code or whatever and get in trouble, thats what they get... cause that would go back to stealing...

and isnt that how the best things are created?? take and idea, whether its yours, mine, or whoevers, and making it better?????? whether better means "free", or "works better" , or whatever...! i mean, isnt that why some guy put cheese on his hamburger? and then another guy put a second piece of meat oh there as well, and then some dude puts thousand island dressing, and a third piece of bread, and calls it a friggin big mac???? i mean come on... thats how stuff is created....imo...

personally, i love vb... but if these guys can pull off a good free clone, that doesnt get em in trouble, offers decent support, and a decent amount of addons(or ease of creation of addons), then i say more power to em!! welcome to the age of shared information! lol

wow.. now thats a rant! lol

Guys, If they are using MYBB source, and the feel and look of Vbulletin, then that's a GREAT WORK, and you should SUPPORT them to develop it, because after all it is FREE, this is GOOD for all of us!!

If there are bugs or security issues, that's Normal, and we have to support them, it is OPEN source, isn't it? This means it is build and maintained BY the community FOR the community!

So Good luck and Sucess to them.

Thanks for wishing us success all.
Yes it's true both management where using nulled versions of vb to but gave up using them because we did not like nulls anymore.
Since this discussion has been become big on much forums.
I'd like to say no worry we got green light of jelsoft their own.
They have according to them nothing in their terms to get us at.

Don't believe it! As soon as you pose a threat any piece of their business, you will find out first hand how much they don't care about you ... They have no problems with your doing all the work then trying to shut you down when you try to release it. They are really not very nice people in that regard.
