You’re kidding me right. LOL

I believe no matter what, if you’re using software created by someone else, respect their work. Leave the copyright. I am just assuming that most people are doing this because they dont want to be seen using free software, but come on… The largest forums in the world use free software, and none can still compare to the features found in MyBB.

Powered by Vbulletin.. lol. That’s just so funny

I hope MyBB will attempt to crack down on these people and get the deserved credit, that’s the main issue but if you want to label innocent people with the likes of them well do it.

Who said innocent people? Did you seriously think I’d call innocent people retarded or blind? Of course not! Only the people who remove the copyright

Just for the record;
Someone such as yourself can do a lot more than name people with what you did, I’m sure you know better words which wouldn’t cast shadows over this issue.

Morons? Idiots? Stupid people? I’m not sure a better way to describe those that remove the copyright illegally

Does the website have an actual place people can see where to report this? This is something I’ve never actually seen but have always wondered about. Time to time I see people mentioning the e-mail to report it but if it isn’t on the site, would it help with cracking it down?

Now can we focus on MyBB itself and the whole issue of people removing the copyright?

Goodluck.

P.s Last reply, I honestly don’t wish to continue talking about the minor thing. (although not minor to some) =)

Well… Not always atleast

Well whatever light you’d like to put yourself in I really don’t care, now I don’t mean to sound offensive but you are yourself. I was only pointing out what you said in the first place, regardless of if your polite or not and either you personally look at it doesn’t project well.

I hope MyBB will attempt to crack down on these people and get the deserved credit, that’s the main issue but if you want to label innocent people with the likes of them well do it.

Being witty or thinking you are is okay, like I said I’m discussing this.

P.s I don’t need to answer you question, take a look for yourself. (I guess you can when you want)

No offence but that’s weak.
You shouldn’t of referred to them as “blind” or “retarded” in the first place. it isn’t acceptable however you claim to of meant it, which part don’t you understand?
“I think it’s pretty fair to call someone something if they did something illegal - they rightfully deserve it, as a punishment.”
That’s amusing because you as a “Team member” should set an example, you know it’s not me. It’s how you respond, you just go further and further into the ground. I’m not at all being funny and I think those who break the rules as punishment should be forced to face up to the law or have the right of using myBB taken away.
So you claim I don’t understand context. Wow, you must see that your comments are uncalled for? however you try to defend it.
I’m discussing this and you go into defence mode and follow up with something which wouldn’t stand. Without replying pointlessly, would you like seeing someone calling you? In any case think about those WHO ARE.
Lastly, regarding your comments directed at myself. You know, it tells me a lot about your attitude and how you believe what you said wouldn’t bother someone. Certain words should never be used within a sentence, polite people don’t. Don’t worry, I understand where you’re coming from but I still don’t accept what you said.
^^^ That’s what your not getting.

Well thats just it now. I’m not polite, am I?

Fact of the matter is that people will remove the copyright. And in addition to that, a forum will NEVER be successful if they do it illegally, I guarantee it. Warez forums are a completely different story.

They’re just people who are either retarded or blind.

Pretty harsh…
Nothing retarded or blind about it, pretty offensive to suggest otherwise. Those are people who don’t have “respect”, I think you’ll find that the problem. You see people will always try to trick a system and some people are just rule breakers, they seek thrills and probably see it as a cat and mouse game.
Why state that? I think that’s very rude, childish even.
You probably meant nothing by it but then again same could be said for those who remove the copyright and neither are okay.
No, it’s actually true. We have a comment block right above the powered by / copyright lines that you absolutely can’t miss. So the only reason you would is if he / she was retarded or blind.
What’s childish and rude is the people who do remove the copyright illegally. Not me.

You think name calling isn’t childish?

The choice of words “retarded” and “blind” is ignorant and childish. Would a blind person be able to setup a forum? I doubt any of those who remove the copyright are indeed blind or retarded.

If you think it’s fine to call a minority group such those who are blind or retarded then that’s down to you. However I strongly think those words aren’t the issue and could be put a cross in friendlier way, those who remove the copyright are just people who have no respect for other peoples work.

Do respect people who are blind or retarded?
~Kerrang!

P.s I’ve got nothing more to say but if you insist to call those people blind and retarded then it shows that your insensitive to those who can’t help the way they are. (which is saddening)
