No More IPB
I’ve had enough people point it out to me that the fact that I hosted old Invision Power Boards may not have been considered “legal”. If people do not want me to provide access to IPB 1.3.x, or the once free 2.0.0, then so be it, I’ve removed access. Personally I don’t understand why someone would search for a site to download the now unavailable IPB 1.3.1, download the software, then either report it to Invision Power Services as an unauthorized distributor, or continually question the legality of it. Yes these posts were my most popular as far as comments, page views and downloads, but that’s I really did not host them for the “ad money”, or any malicious intent. I hosted the files because I loved the usability and the customizability of the free Invision Power Board.
I left the files up for over a year because I felt that although redistributing was obviously against the licensing of Invision Power Board, IPS would either take a hint that the software they once offered as free still had a market.
To Invision Power Services, I would recommend you once again making a free version of your board, because over 16,000 people downloaded the software that you once released as free, but have since made unavailable. Sure it’s all about money to you, but don’t forget that it is to us, also. There are other free boards out there, and I suppose you are forcing us to choose those brands instead.
That is all. Feel free to comment.

See, the thing is, you can get an IPB 1.3 board hosted for free online with hosts such as Hosted-Forum and Invisionfree.

Yes, you can. However, it’s limited on many aspects, and not fully customizable. That’s like saying “You can use free online hosts such as tripod or geocities for hosting your data online…”

Also, I was right, your downloads were illegal. IPS even confirmed it.

Nobody debating you there, that’s why they were removed.

I Belive the 1.x versions are legal. In fact in one of these post u have a letter from Debra Ruff give anyone permission to use them its the 2.x that get a little bit complex you can use them but u must buy it in a year at least i thnk thats how it goes anyway if anyone want a 1.X version or the 2.0.3 trail go to my website and click the contact me link and i will send you a copy. include which version i have em all. for 2.0.3 its encoded in Zend or ioncube so tell me which on you want

Redistribution (aka posting it up on your site for download) is clearly said to be not allowed; illegal. How hard is that to understand? oO
At least you cooperated with IPS, unlike some people that probably wouldn’t.
By the way, nice theme.
Raybdbomb Said,

All along, I said I would take it down as soon as a representative from IPS contacted me and told me such. I never received such a courtesy, but I was tired of hearing the complaints.

Man this is annoying, we have gone over to phpBB because of this, and all i can say is, don’t transfer to phpBB, they are impossible to mod. (Well not impossible but very hard), very sorry to here about the loss of this download. I will have to look somewhere else now.

My host doesn’t allow phpBB so I guess I’ll need to find another distributor if there are any -_-

look i love IPB but now i will use those other PHPs
but its ok i will make my own type some day (learning now)
and i will crush IPB with my super but yet free forum lol
DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOOOOO MANY ILLEGAL IPBs
ppl can and DID GET THEM so common there atleast should be a free version of the coolest board for now
but with their “policy” its not gonna be like that forever
CrownVictoriaCop Said,
September 14, 2006 @ 6:02 pm
You know, I didn’t snitch, I asked if the downloads were legal or not. So please shut up.
I actually agree with Ray. IPS needs to make another free version of it’s software, so we don’t have to use the other PHPs. So if you want IPB 1.3 for free, go to teengeek’s webiste or somewhere else to get a copy.

Well, it is a stupid move on IPB’s part. Now the some of people looking for a “free” and “somewhat legit” version of IPB will now have to pirate the commerical 2.1.X line. Good luck IPB. vBulletin for life.
