Plenty of reasons to keep running an older board...
- Admin doesn't want to re-hack board
- Admin did not renew member area sub when expired
- Admin waiting for system issues to be resolved in v6
- Admin prefers the vast selection of v5 hacks to those currently available in v6
- Admin prefers having static html pages
- Admin Lazy
People who own a legal non-expiring license of the software are free to continue to run whatever version they want. Not everyone feels compelled to upgrade, especially if they are pleased with the current state of their board.
As it has been said many times before, older UBB™'s doesn't equate pirated boards. Fresh new installations of older versions, or older beta's are probably more suspect.
In any case, Infopop has the capacity to determine whether or not a board is legal, and what action to take. If you run across a suspicious looking board, let IP sort it out. e-Mail:
