vBulletin 4.1.1 - null by URLREMOVED

Don't expect us to assist in this situation; you're using a known nulled copy of vbulletin, which means you've just committed software piracy, and attempted to involve us in it by hosting it with us.

In short, that ain't tolerated. Your account access has been permanently revoked.

There's nothing that you can do. Your account is permanently suspended.

Get a new friend.

Seriously, vBulletin costs $195 per site. Your friend normally give you $200 gifts?

And there is no "fix". Your Free Hosting Account and all its contents will be deleted sometime after 14 days.

No access. No backups.

Step 1: <Removed due to advocating extreme violence to friends>
Step 2: Run from the cops.

But seriously - you're responsible for what you uploaded to the site. The problem is your friend gave you a nulled version of vbulletin, which is forum software that costs a few hundred dollars. This is not a legal copy of the script, so under the zero tolerance policy you were permanently suspended and cannot be unsuspended for any reason.

I would also advise "thanking" your "friend." Next time he gives you software, start googling it - a simple search for "vbulletin" would've sufficed here because the very first link is their homepage where it tells you it ain't free.

What do you mean by "everything else with the files"? If you mean about a backup, that's not possible.

Your account with self-delete after 14 days or more. It might take longer. As for your own PC, just delete them normally if you want.

SMF and Joomla are both free open source scripts that you can use as long as you get it from a legitimate source (as evidenced by another support thread, dishonest entities still try to release nulled and virus-filled versions of free open source software, so stay away from that). In the cPanel of free hosting accounts are two buttons called Softaculous and Fantastico. Those two scripts can be found there and automatically installed, as well as many other free open source scripts.
