About a month ago, InfoPop (the company that makes and distributes the Ultimate Bulletin
Board) decided that you could no longer modify, or hack the freeware version of the UBB. What I
was originally planning on doing was getting the freeware version, and using
http://www.ubbhackers.com to hack the script up. This way I could get around the 200 dollar (a
little overpriced IMHO) with a little extra work.
I guess technically I could still hack the UBB since i downloaded a freeware version of the UBB
and a bunch of custom hacks about 4 or 5 months back, but just never got around to installing
the board, but I really kind of just want to totally stay away from that company. They've been
doing a lot of shady things lately (revoking the liscense, etc.) And besides that, the script is a
huge resource hog.
So my question is, where can I find a free UBB-like board? Not only that, but is there a freeware
UBB-like board that there are many hacks/add-ons for, and the company won't get mad at you?
This VBulletin board is really nice. Is there a freeware version? Is there any support (like
ubbhackers.com) for hacking it?
Any others? Thanks
PS - I apologize for cross posting this on the CGI and general discussion boards, but it looks like this one is getting more traffic, and I might have a better chance of getting some suggestions here..
