Ok. I can't help it, but :nopics:

:whistling:

Welcome! Have fun! We certainly do!
 
LOL sorry, no pics guys. :p

I'm on SI. :)

Looks like a really cool forum, might spend some time here and contribute. :D
 
Smoke,

Welcome to the forum.

I'll give you an hour to remove the links and spam in your sig line. After that, I'm putting you up as being a spammer (and your likely ban).

Remove it and you're welcome to stay.
 
See my reply to your PM.

Another thing you should note, Bans don't really work anymore in this day and age.

Stewart as in Tony=Smoke.
As to your statement on bypassing a forum system.. yeah.. it's what you young kids and knuckleheads do best when you get booted from a forum.

I feel you challenged the moderator with claiming you could get back in even if you were banned.
Ok.. fair enough..
Have a good time here and enjoy your stay.
 
Well you see, I COULD, very easily, so threatening to ban me for something as dumb as having a link in my signature, isn't really a threat.

And so far, I haven't had a good time here and I'm not enjoying my stay because I've had 3 people PM me so far about complete and utter bullshit regarding my signature, I've never once seen a forum that prohibits the content of what a user can or cannot display in their signature aside from the obvious (adult/pornographic material)

Wooo hooray for me then. /sarcasm

What forum is considered "average" nowadays? Newsflash, I don't exactly run a daycare center of a forum.

Majority of my userbase is well into their twenties, if not older.

The way I see it, if you don't want people puttin links in their signatures til you reach X amount of posts, install a modification available at vBulletin.org

That is, granted that the owner isn't running an illegal copy of vBulletin and has access to the modifications..as I've yet to see any installed here.

Smoke,

The reason your not having a good time is because your not following the rules. As for other forums I have been on many that don't allow links in the signatures. We have this policy for a reason. I suggest in order for you to have a good time maybe read the rules in the FF/Administration and Info Section.

Follow the rules and we will all get along and I think with time you just might like this place.

Here's a tip from a vBulletin enthusiast:
-Install CYB Advanced Forum Rules

It's easier to tell where the site rules are when they're neatly placed on a page, in a link in the navbar.

Of course if you are illegally running a copy of vBulletin's software then you don't have access to such modifications in which case, I can understand why this site is completely unmodified and lacks a custom feel.

Is there a reason you are making false accusations regarding the legal status of the VB licensing by the owner of this forum?

I'd really recommend gathering some supporting evidence before you start making that type of accusation.

Well seeing as how many people run vB illegally, and taking notice that this forum has no real custom features or anything added to it, would lead one to believe that the owner of the forum doesn't have proper access to the official modifications site, which nulled forum owners, don't.


and no accusation is 'false' so to speak. ;)

This one is. Many of us know the owner personally. Hell, a dozen of us spent a day on his boat a couple months ago. The lack of obvious customization of the web site is an incredibly inaccurate method of making the deduction you have.

So because you know the owner personally means his license is legit? Umm no.

I know people personally who use pirated software all the time, that doesn't make it 'legal'.

and I didn't say he was using a illegal copy, I said, the lack of customization could mean that he doesn't have access at vBulletin.org and that one of those reasons could be that he has a nulled copy of vBulletin.

Yeah, because I've seen a bunch of similar sites set up the way this one is (URL wise) and it would turn out that they were all nulled.

it's quite odd having the URL:
forumsforums.com/3_9/

Umm the root directory would've been a better choice...or even

forumsforums.com/boards

Of course you realize that if the owner has a URL like this and it doesn't match the one listed in his members area then the license is null & void until it's changed/matching.

No....those are all arguments in support of your statement. What is the reason for making the statement in the first place?
