I have a Nascar Forum and site. Someone just emailed me this message. Can you check out my site and let me know if I am doing something illegal. I bought this site on a forum. Please let me know.
Thanks

This is the message I got:
Dear Sir,
I would like to know why you are trying to sell this website when your forums (discussion board) is what we call "warez" which is considered illegal? If you don't believe me I would suggest anyone who is looking to buy this contact invision power board regarding the website. You have been reported to them.

Someone on Ebay. He is saying that I have a hacked copy of IPB. I bought the site and it is hosted by IPS and they did the transfer when I bought the site. If it is illegal why did they let the owner sell it to me.

Thanks

A crime won't be known until it's reported on time.

It's fine, don't worry about some low-life who thinks it's "warez".

PS: You should update the forum with the logo our studio made you a while ago :)

Thanks. I have not done any updates lately, but I will. I use the banners for ads also. They are nice.

It was a member on Ebay. He said that he reported me to Ebay and IPB
I sent IPB a support message but sometimes it takes days to hear from them.

Thanks

yeah, i just tried that when i seen link, they normally have numbers, such as:

http://forums.invisionpower.com?ipscheck=1

they have numbers, he probably thought you had a cracked copy, this is a cracked copy:

http://muchforums.com/invbb/index.php?ipscheck=1 (illegal lol)

and this warez site has same -- as you:

http://www.warez-party.com/upload/index.php?ipscheck=1
So if it is legal, what will be showing?

The illegal has this, right?

they are the people who cracked it, like if someoen else cracked it they may put there name there, or some other crackers will put like 3455.533434 and make it look legal

Does that mean that this is a leased license, not a permanent one? Wait ... I thought IPB is free like phpBB. :-/
