    Someone selling a site using nulled vBulletin

    Hi, I have seen someone trying to sell a forum using a nulled version of vBulletin (he admitted it) and have reported it on the vBulletin Piracy form, but I was wondering if someone is also trying to sell it then should something else should be done aswell?

    Thanks.

    Inform the admins of the place he/she is selling it (so they can remove it); as well as post it publicly if available (so potential buyers can be forewarned). As well as report on the piracy form as you've already done. Other than that, there's not a whole lot to be done about it since its really not in your hands.
    Best Regards,
    Andy Huang

          I will report it to the Admin, and he has advertised it as Nulled in the post publicly so everyone knows already

          Thanks.

              He may be selling a nulled version, but keep in mind he might have bought a licence after installing the nulled version, installed loads of hacks and choose not to upgrade.

              So in theory he can sell the site, even if he is using a nulled version if he owns a full licence.

                I reported it yesterday to the Admin but it's still up. It's a warez forum he's selling so I'm especially surprised that it's still up.

                    I reported it to the Admin on the website he is selling it, not here.

                          You just said you did not report it here.

                          Whatever

                          As long as it has been reported to us here.

                            Yeah but I thought it sounded like you thought I PMed an Admin here or something. Nevermind, at least it's been reported.
