Is this even legal?

If I remember correctly, this is violating the license agreement.

Yes, it is.
Close please...

It is legal!!!

That is what Ted (from Infopop)wrote:
"the powered by that appears in the title bar... that is not required. The only rquirement is the "powered by" that appears at the bottom of each page."
Look at http://www.scriptkeeper.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=27&t=000162

you dont know how happy i am reading this.

Well i guess Infopop changed the rules...

They never changed the rules you could always remove the page title just not the powered by in the botom of every cgi and html page generated by ubb.

no, sorry, you couldn't.

powered by infopop was never in the title in the old versions of ubb like 5.45 or 5.47, in threads that is!

Your right. But now, obviously its not required at all unless stated otherwise.

yep!
so really it was pointless for them to put it in......lol

Well, excpet to promote themsevles on boards whos admins DON'T have the savvy to visit this board!!

Or run frames like I do, so technically I never "removed" the InfoPop title suffix, but it doesn't display. Perfectly valid approach.

Yes, the InfoPop copyright notice at the bottom of all screen must not be removed, however. That's part of the licensing agreement and is clearly stated. I have no issues with that at all, nor should anyone - it's their product even if it's your hacks.

This is kind of a dumb point but being around the automotive bussiness for most of my life people have always modified there cars for performance as well as looks.
But if someone buys a Mercedes the last thing they want to do is remove the emblem.
Since Info Pop makes such a good product and charges like they do.
WHY would anyone want to remove it.????
If thats the object why not just use one of the free boards!!!!!!!!
Just my 2 cents

Woah, I don't see the (powered by Infopop) anymore, did IP take it out in 6.0 Beta 7.9?

i removed this on my forums a longggg time ago. how come i was never informed removing it from title was bad?

i guess it's ok thou cause i have allways had "powered by infopop" in my title graphic.

Yes, in newer versions of the betas, it's missing! Probably removed due to user complaitns.

Sweet, now all the boards don't have it. Nice one Infopop

i really don't understand why people would ever remove the pottom copyright info thou. damn, it's only a couple lines, and it shows users that u care enuf about them too buy the best. (yea, this coming from UltraBoardFan[old scriptkeeper])

Now they say you can't you to put the words UBB, Ultimate Bulletin Board, or InfoPop in any image that you make. *looking for post...looking for post* Found it - right here . How stupid is this? I don't get it - I thought the goal was to give them marketing. Who knows.
