I'm very sorry - but I happen to be the culprit in removing the visible/display copyright notice from the code - although the copyright that appears at the begining of each script remained 100% intact and unchanged.
It was originally done just for display on my personal site and since none of my members have anything to do with programming/coding, nor could they ever afford ubbthreads software and would normaly opt for a freebie forums software if they felt like creating another specifically targeted resource such as what I currently run - i felt that having three lines of copyrite code display at the bottom of the page wouldnt be usefull to my members and may also look quite messy in presentation.
There was no intent in stealing your work - infact I saw your work as so great, that a few weeks after installing it and making so many display updates to it, I came to the conclusion that others would benefit from my small contributions/updates. So I re-uploaded it here, keeping all of your coded copyright notices intact and also including your original files into the archive.
All while doing that and finding that some of my additions to your code needed to be polished so they would work on everyone else's setup and their uniqueness (as mine was also quite unique), that I totally forgot to replace your visual copyright notices back into your scripts before redistributing them.
it was completely unintentional and i sincerely apologize for whatever frustration it may have caused you... that was not my intention - but i hope that this explanation of event sequences makes everything much more clear as how we got where we are now
