        Do they actually own a vBulletin license?

          Notice that their vB example forum is running 3.5.4.
          To me that indicates that they haven't cracked the 3.6 captcha yet...

              It's unethical, not illegal so I wouldn't lose sleep over shutting it down.

              Btw, everytime you link there, the search engines will pick up the link from here and increase that sites ranking. That's why I pasted the url how I did.

                  Is this not intended to be used by a forum owner though. To add automated posts to his own site. After all this kind of thing has been asked for in hacks over at vB.org.

                  If it does what I think it does.

                    A quick glance at it shows it might be a scriptmafia version.
