    A certain vBulletin website needs to be shut down.

    There is a site that runs on vBulletin called <removed> and it's very illegal. They have pirated games for download on that site. I can't believe that this site is still up and running. Whoever is in charge of vBulletin needs to take action immediately on this website. Thank you.

    I believe that you should contact their hosting provider about this. vB can come into action if a site is using an illegal copy of their software.

        It has nothing to do with vBulletin and vBulletin can not take them down unless the copy of the vBulletin software they are using is an illegal version.

          So vBulletin will allow a site filled with pirated Wii games to stay up? Wow, my opinion of vBulletin has just dropped to the lowest of low.

            What do you actually think vBulletin can do if they legally purchased the software from them?

            Does Microsoft takes Micorsoft Word or Excel off you if you use it for an illegal activity? vBulletin and Microsoft and .... are just software makers, they are not the Internet Police.

              We can and do comply with law enforcement agencys when we are required to. But we are not the internet police, we cannot and do not enforce our morals or laws (US/UK) on others.
