Its fallen apart? I see it the other way around. I see this site is now a small community of friends. It seems almost like a family now. I think the memberbase of this forum is stronger than it has ever been before. And you have helped in bringing us all together.

Unbanning random people won't make them come back.

But his ban was unjustified. He cleared his name, and the ban still stands.

How many times have we unbanned d3v, look he is still here.

When was this? I don't see it.

He was accused for ripping VB from, which apparently it turned out to be open source?

No, I don't think so.

The style was publicly available online for download. This person told me about it and where to download it. So I did, and I used it. I had it up on my website for almost a year; without anyone ever saying anything.

I got an IM from Chruser and this is what was said:

He never said anything to me after that on AIM that night, instead he made a post about it at vBulletin.org. Which can be found here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=93958

He then sent an email to my webhost, which so happens to be a very close friend of mine. So I sent Chruser an email which said the following:

He then IMed me on AIM about 20 mins after I sent that email. This was the conversation.

Afterwards, I decided to take the style down from the public; I'm hoping Chruser will unban my account here at Zelaron, because I wouldn't want the style to be avaliable to all 4,000 of my members who want to download it. Unless of course Chruser can have his antorney send me a confirmaion; that the style is indeed has a copyright and is licensed to him.

LiveWire

here u go ww i replied his post so u wouldnt have to click the [1]

So basically he said because it was publicly available for download, he wasn't at fault, and then threatened to release the style to his 4000 members if Chruser didn't unban him.

WE DON'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS

So he was threatening to make a style he got from a publicly available source publicly available? That seems odd to me.

about 5 posts up.

:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: :confused::confused:

What you are failing to realize is that the fact that it was publicly available doesn't make it legal for him to use something that isn't his. A lot of copyrighted material is available publicly. That doesn't make it legal to posess or use, especially when it's potentially for profit (on a forum that hosts ads, for instance.)

He stole someone elses work, even though it wasn't from the source, and then threatened to release the knowingly stolen material to his members if Chruser didn't submit to his desires. He's an asshole. Which probably makes him perfect for these forums, but unbanning him isn't going to bring him back anyway.

Zelaron is a nation of terrorists. Every member is an evil government that must be overthrown by another member.
And I am the Hitler of them all. :grin:

You haven't even been here long enough to have any idea why D3v's statement could be considered funny. Mantralord has caused some havoc on Zelaron in the past.

What if he regularly prowls ancient posts?

Not hard to imagine. D3v does it all the time. -_- Ahem. < -_- ^
