Is this a stolen VB license?

[WiiSaid]

OK well first of all I have a little something to say.


About a month ago we were mad because the VB license we were gonna use was taken by a hacker (Owner of www.zobez.org)

In about a week we reported him and got the license back.

Zobez.org was shut down for about a week and then they started back up and made this post. http://zobez.org/showthread.php?t=95 saying that there host deleted the site.

Now that they are back up I checked there forum and then I looked at the very bottom were it usually says "Powered by VBulletin" there is nothing and it is clearly a VB forum they have the exact same skin as when they stole ours.

So did I catch someone using a pirated VB license or did they actually buy one?

Oh and the owner is only 15 so I also suspect they probably using a pirated one.

I am 14 and I haven't done anything illegal.

 

[missemmawatson]

Im thinking that they are using a pirated one.

 

[HighlandStudios-Joel]

Yeah looks pirated, its funny how their slogan is "the cheating experts" it would make sence that they stole it hehe

 

[WiiSaid]

So should I report them?

 

[Mark]

I would .... Young or Old - A Thief is still a thief

vbseo has been reported also,, seeing how your concerned that they paid 160 for a brandfree vb, I'm sure they didn't shell out another 140 for vbseo

Did you report them or are you saying I should report the VBseo to? I am reporting right now.

 

[Brandon Sheley]

i've reported both,, to vbseo and to Howard @ pirate reports

 

[WiiSaid]

Ok cool :D The owner is screwed.

 

[Brandon Sheley]

a sorta, depending on where his site is hosted

 

[WiiSaid]

His host is registered at Servage.net I just Whoised it so is this bad for him?

 

[lazyleo]

umm according to what i understands ervage is offshore host they cant be bothered.

 

[labrocca]

Servage is a good host but they are located in Germany I believe....so legal notices from the US may not bother them.

Lol

Yeah, actually im the co-owner of zobez. Ok guys heres what happened. We traded that guy a IPB license for his VB license, a few weeks later he stole back the VB license and told us we had to take off the VB from our site within a week or he would sue us lmao! We ignored him for a week cus he stole bak the IPB two and he was just a ****ing scammer in all ways. Ok so then im talking to him on msn and knowtice that his msn name sayes "Selling VB license". Ok so I then decide to buy a new vb lisence to get away from such a jackass, cost $350 but i did it. Yeah and the skin, your a dumbass, when you reinstall vb then you keep the same skin and all the topics retard. Anyway thought id make that clear, and please do try to shut down the site, id REALLY like to see you try!

^ This is what happens when children have to much time on their hands. All you had to do was tell us that the site was legit. Using swear words was not really needed.

Do people who write "knowtice" actually have $350?
