    You may not run torrent sites with vBulletin. Quote from the License Agreement:
    You may not use the Software to engage in or allow others to engage in any illegal activity. You may not use the Software to engage in any activity that will violate the rights of third parties, including, without limitation, through the use, public display, public performance, reproduction, distribution, or modification of communications or materials that infringe copyrights, trademarks, publicity rights, privacy rights, other proprietary rights, or rights against defamation of third parties.
    That's it. If you REALLY can't say ANYTHING nice to me at all on this forum, then I am going to go insanely mad at you. I've had enough of the UNTOLD ABUSE you are all giving me and you should really be CONSIDERATE of other people.

          Source? Links? Something to back up your wild claim?

              I'd wait till he backs up his claim. AFAIK there is nothing in the EULA about torrent sites.

              What he has quoted you appears to be the same clause I have seen since I have owned vB.

                  @Ace: I would suggest you stop this personal attack against me. If you hate my posts, ignore them. Is that hard to do???

                    Owning a torrent site isn't illegal. It's only illegal if you have copyrighted material and are redistributing it.

                    For example:

                    If you make images from scratch and want to redistribute it as torrents, you can create a torrent site for it.

                        You can run a torrent based site if you so wish. Be aware that the content of your torrents could possibly land you in trouble legally, but that is not for any of us to decide.

                        The only thing required to run the software is a license, be it the Publishing Suite, or Forum license. If you want a branding free license, or a professional install you can purchase those now or later, or never if you so choose.


                        We do not provide any hosting services, domain registration, or tracker software, best of luck to you.

                          I suggest you stop spreading incorrect information. Is not posting if you don't know, rather than making stuff up and posting it as fact, so hard to do?

                            I'm not going to bother. Nobody else does what you are doing. You can get away with it at vBSEO.com since you're the admin there. You can't get away with it here though.

                              I have no clue what you're going on about, but if there is an argument please take it to a private disussion.
