Hmm, vBulletin licence chargeback...

Hellish

Apparently, the buyer of the software is trying to get his money back. Unfortunatly, I cannot run the website without a legal version of Vbulletin. Either i need to get together money to buy a licence, or some other option.

Little note, people who donate are changed to regular group permissions and above.

Dfg

If you have a paypal tell users to PM you and they will start donating. Set a target for donations and it will be taken care off shortly.

Make an announcement is required. And also mention a time frame.

street carp

I take it this is bad. Couldn't you set up a paypal account and put a link at the top/side of the main forum page? Even if it's not a proper button or whatever it's got to be better than nothing.

Solution:


More to Netherlands, take your sever.


Or I'm sure a crappy 'Donate or die now' link will work, main page, or just in a post.


I'm in for $6.50

I don't understand. Aren't you the buyer of the software?

How do you not already have a Vbul license?

How much you require? Give us an estimate. This can easily be worked out.

wasjosh

Hellish

You know, If every member donated just 50 cents we could do it. Or if 200 did $1 each or if 100 did $2 each or 50 did $4 each or 25 did 8$ each or 20 did $10 each.

Do you accept Camels?

mr.blunt

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

I'd totally donate if I had money or a paypal account.

I'm currently converting 2 asses and a calf to cover my donation, would you like to know my rates?

street carp

Aside from keeping this forum alive, is there any incentive to donate? You know Zoklet has the star next to your username, totse2 has a donors group etc. Perhaps you could make a way of acknowledging those who helped keep the site going. (I'm considering donating but I only joined here less than an hour ago, that would be like handing over money to some guy in the street so I'm going to wait a couple of days to see if I like it here first.)

Maybe if people were rewarded or acknowledged for donating $5 or more they would be more likely to donate?

muffins

How long do we have to raise the money? Also if the guy you bought from does a chargeback to v bull you should be able to do a chargeback where you paid him

Also this people like being recognized for donations

Well, I cant really do recognition as i cant download a plugin. Well , I'll check.

Just donate if you can. Worry about the stars and the blink later. You will get recognition but right now. DONATE!

I just wrote your name on my desk in sharpie, and put TWO stars next to it. Now maybe you can donate a little extra for me.


Do we know how close the end is? I will be able to donate next Monday, maybe Tuesday. And if someone pms me with sexual favors, I'll be able to buy daddy a new pair of shoes.

I posted a cracked version of 3.8 it might be of some use.

Timeframe?

Hellish

Well, The sooner the better, but Vbulletin doesnt know what site the licence is on. Well, were screwed. LSA, Cracked ones don't work well for long. Especially if jelsoft finds out.

Echidna

I never understood why you would have to register or buy a copy of the license? I just saw a copy of the latest vb on a torrent site. FOR FREE.

If I had a credit card I didn't cut up or a debit card not attached to a bank account with $-1000, I would.

I think we shouldn't EXPOSE too much. There are others who can take advantage of this.

Can you install phpBB or something in the meantime or does that not work with your database/file format/file structure/whim? :P

They can shutdown your site if they found out.

EDIT: 700, night

How much money we got up so far?

Really? Well it says it includes a keygen and what not. How do they tell that it's not legit? Does VBull constantly check in to their servers or something? I thought you just download their software and install it as if you own the shit, wtf? God I fucking hate Vbull.

Dfg wrote: »

How can they shut down your site? How would they prove it unless it has some call back feature? The "Scene" usually prevents any call back features as per rules. I have no idea how it all works but I find the only thing they could do is shut down your forum at most or disable it and that's only if there is a call back feature that has to exist.

I'd be surprised if the Scene cracked copy doesn't work.

Nothing to see above here.


Instead:

This. Scene cracks have never failed me, they're good people.

Can we get a status update? Length of time we have till license lost? Can u use the cracked copy for the moment? Can you chargeback the guy doin the chargeback?

Hellish

No, I got it through my friend. He's taking the loss though.

easy-e

You can't just buy a used license...it has to be transfered. They have every site that uses vBulletin on record when you buy the license.

Dysgraphia

Could we get a receipt?

Seitzy

hey guys, I saw this thread, and I thought "Well, shit, that sucks, another Totse community ruined."

hopefully you guys can get this sorted out, its a VERY nice Board you guys got here,

but if not (Knock on wood) we have more than enough room at Totse2.com if shit goes down the drain.

I think it would be good if you guys checked it out, because I'd hate for all the members here to just disperse, I'd rather us all unite.

Hammer Tank

so is this a one time fee? or yearly, monthly, or what?

Hellish

This is a "We need to get a Vbulletin licence or we wont be here" donation.

Greenbull

How much is the vbull license? And is it a one time expense?

I'll chuck some money up if I can get my paypal working.

Hellish

Vbulletin is the forum software, when you buy it, its yours.

Have to receive an update number from the P4yp4l (can't use it until then) in a few days. When so, I'll see to donating some. At least $20-30 if I can muster it.

Also, when is the money due?

Junior Jacon Jeese Jurger

I'm going to donate when I get off work in the morning. Hopefully some more people have donated by then. I can't afford alot because I just totaled my car and bought a new one but I can definitely help some.
