Hmm, vBulletin licence chargeback...

edited July 2010 in Help and Suggestions
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.

    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.

    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? :confused:

    How do you not already have a Vbul license?

    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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    They can shutdown your site if they found out.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
  • edited July 2010
    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.
