    Usually call backs in the software...

    Xen says they don't have any...there was a tweet from Keir telling a nuller to just keep the copyright to their site lol

    when u say "you can see the source" you see the html output
    you can't see the actual php code unless you have the product

    i just saw the twitter conversation you're talking about Kevin
    the file is called
    XenForo.v1.0.Beta.1.PHP.NULL.Happy.First.Birthday.TEAM-FS
    looks like it's all over google

    well of course...that how anything is...

    Some products are encoded though where you can't even see the code. Just a jumbled mess

    I was going to try and get a license for this contest, but wanted to hold off.
    I think the vbseo and vb4 is a better combo for our members :)

    I'm right there with you man. I'm too busy too be posting all day. I still have updates that need done on 2 of my own forums...lol...

    I would still give anything to get ahold of a VbSeo....As soon as I get employed that's like the first thing I'm gonna get.

    I installed the sitemap generator from vborg, but it's just not the same. :thud:

    This contest that Brandon is running, is amazing!! The winner of this is like striking gold. This ain't no petty stuff...ya know....

    I did have a look at the software. Hmmmm all I can say is very interesting. However, vB are planning to sue for copyright.

    A more finite answer would be "What do you not like about it?" :)

    Eh..I checked it out..I was impressed at first and then not so much. They have good ideas, but VB is still superior. And if they try to bring the features over, they are handcuffed due to intellectual rights and such. Its nice and all, but its about the same as all the other wannabe vbs still...

    That's actually a common misconception. vBulletin has no intellectual property over the ideas, just the EXACT way to code them like they did in their script.
