On my vBulletin 3.8.2 Forum, I installed the mod that measures the time it takes for a new registration and if it takes less than 30 seconds or so (like a bot typically takes just seconds). If that happens it is deleted and it works great, very little problem with spammers.

Is there a VB4 version of that mod, so I can stop those automatic registrations dead in there tracks, yes!

This complete site is optimized to convert visitors into sales and has worked on 2 previous sites in different niches. For the first time ever it's coming to the vBulletin niche as vBulletin-Host!

Things you should know:

• The template is highly customized skeleton of WooThemes DigitalFarm. As a Club member there I'm allowed to include this theme in the sale of the site. If you ever sell this site, you are not allowed to include it per their TOS.
• This is a complete website that has been sold twice in the past (in different niches and slightly different content) and now has been converted to target vBulletin users looking for hosting. After the sale of this site, I agree not to make another vBulletin hosting site like this one for a period of 12 months!
• Be sure to ask me any questions you may have prior to the sale! I'll do my best to answer any honest and legitimate questions and all sales are final!
• The site review engine is currently powered by WPReviewSite. This script is NOT included in the sale due to my licensing restrictions with the script. There are free alternatives available, however I will not modify the site to work with them!
  

What do you get?

1. The keyword rich, highly brandable domain name of http://vbulletin-host.com

2. A highly customized Wordpress theme (2.9.1) complete with SEO enhancements and features to increase your sales and make it a pleasant experience for visitors.

3. All files necessary to run the site!

About:
I'm not going to lie here, the domain was just purchased 2 maybe 3 days ago. But the website content it self has been put through the most rigorous of tests and been a proven money-maker. The site is aimed at vBulletin users who are seeking hosting. With affiliate sale commissions at over $95 for some of the higher paying ones, you can literally pay for this site after 1 sale! Come on a untrained monkey could make one sale from such a great site like this!

The software that powers the site is Wordpress, which is a open source project. There are a handful of plugins and features at work that are all included with the sale (unless otherwise noted). Search Engine Optimizations have been done to the template and wordpress that will make this site rank high for vBulletin hosting with minimal effort! (Just build your links!)

Payment:
All payments must be made 48 hours after the end of the auction unless other arrangements are made. Sorry I'm not interested in trades (unless it's a new Apple TV!) Payment method is PayPal perferred but I'm open to other ones as well if you arrange something with me prior to buying!

For your protection, This sale includes the physical goods of a CD that will be mailed to your PayPal address on file. This lets you dispute the claim if I don't deliver the goods (won't happen). You'll get all files delivered electronically once payment is cleared within 24 hours. The domain will be pushed to your NameCheap account!

BIN: $150
Start Bid: $50
Increments: $1

Reason For Sale (Cause I know someone is bound to ask). I don't have time to promote a site like this outside of a signature link. The site will deliver you sales and will rank well in search engines once you start to build links. It just requires more time then I can give with a full time job and full time in college. If you offer vBulletin work, or are active on a lot of webmaster forums this can be a huge money maker for you! ]]> Buy and Sell TAF http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?15411-vBulletin-Host-com-Make-money-with-hosting http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?15410-vBulletin-4-0-2-Patch-Level-1-Released&goto=newpost Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:00:07 GMT An XSS exploit has been discovered in 4.0.1 and 4.0.2.

We strongly recommend that anyone running these versions immediately patch their systems.

If you are running 4.0.2 already, simply download the latest Security patch: 4.0.2 Suite PL1 from the Members Area, extract the 5 patch files, then upload these files making sure to overwriting the existing files. This will update your version to the latest patch release. The patch files are:

includes/class_core.php
includes/functions_forumdisplay.php
includes/functions.php
includes/version_vbulletin.php
vb/legacy/thread.php

If you are running 4.0.1, you will need to do a full upgrade to 4.0.2 PL1 (available in the Members Area.) Just downed the latest release and upgrade normally. ]]> vBulletin Announcements vbulletin http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?15410-vBulletin-4-0-2-Patch-Level-1-Released http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?15408-The-way-to-get-a-free-blog-post&goto=newpost Sun, 21 Feb 2010 17:49:52 GMT I don't know if you know about that, but it is possible to get a free blog post absolutely for free.
The site Merfins.com is giving a posibility to get a blog post on their site absolutely for free.

You will get a dofollow links on PR2 blog at this time.

The way how to do this:

• Register on this site
• Login
• Go to Posts>Add New
• Add your article with up to 3 links to your sites
• Wait till your article will be approved

I think that is really great way to get free backlinks to your site. ;) ]]> Buy and Sell dougvielma http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?15408-The-way-to-get-a-free-blog-post http://www.vbulletin-faq.com/forum/showthread.php?15406-Looking-for-best-way-to-embed-youtube-vids-in-3-8-is-it-done-via-BB-code&goto=newpost Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:38:06 GMT Anybody know the best way to embed vids in posts?

Did a search in Org and found a few solutions. Just don't know which is the best way to go.
