I'm saddened to inform you guys that the email account which was linked to our vBulletin license was hacked on Sunday. The attacker apparently took advantage of a password that was not strong enough and gained access to my email account to try and transfer this vBulletin license to his website. However, there is also the chance that the license was hacked via another means, and at this point, it's not entirely clear.Either way, vBulletin has treated us horribly and we have lost the license. While I cannot get a clear answer on the matter, apparently they suspend the license if a hacker gains access to the download and puts it up somewhere. The way they have acted does not make a lot of sense, but they've been highly unprofessional to me. It comes down to we have less than 30 days to either purchase a new license or get off of the existing one.At this point, we're down over $200 in value because of the license. I refuse to purchase another license since their security procedures are so very poor. They are basically making money off of our misfortune. We're pretty much forced into finding other software. The open source arena looked promising, but none of the avenues give me an option to fully and safely convert our forum.This leaves us with one alternative, which will cost approximately $210 to purchase the installation and let them handle the conversion. Now I have made it a policy from day one never to ask for money, and I've pooled my money into this forum alongside Kriss's help as well as some private donations from members. That was the intention all along and it will remain such. However, this unforseen event has really hit at a bad time. If anyone would like to help, I am open to it. Please contact me if you'd like to donate some money to us through Paypal or another means. I am not asking nor begging, but the help would be used and highly appreciated.Otherwise, we need all the prayer we can get that this works out! I know it will, but prayer never hurts!Thanks for reading, we'll get this worked out one way or another.Yours in Christ,Denver
