I attempted to install a copy of IPB my friend claimed to be licensed that he has been using for a while now. I was reluctant to accept it since I use SMF extensively. Apparently, it was "nullified" (not sure what that means) and I got a suspension from it.

I am appealing the suspension because it is not my intention to use illegal copies of commercial software. It was merely an attempt to try out new forum software.

Zero Tolerance means no excuses, no exceptions. Thank your friend for his "gift" of a canceled Free Hosting Account.

Correct me if I'm wrong but... Isn't it licensed on a site basis? I.E. licensed for one site so even if t was licensed for him, it cant be used on multiple sites.

Correct as well; IPB charges a license transfer fee. Judging by that it was a DGT release though, I'm betting the friend has it illegally too :S
