The lottery is just based on a random selection of one of the userID's of everyone who entered. its fairly simple to remove from the drop down menu, but I guess only style would have the rights, letting failrei touch anything would be a disaster.

O great and mighty FB, how we can only revel in your glory and wish we too some day could become root admin of our own forums! We are not worthy!

Seriously, stop wanking over the fact we don't have the permissions to change certain settings. It really is nothing to show off about.

Lulz... Bitter much? -_-;;;

Anyway, I say we keep the lottery, but adjust the timeframe and prize price so that it actually becomes somewhat useful. =P

Frankly, Ryo, the vBplaza should be completely removed. Its a massive security flaw that gets loads of sites hacked. Thats why we removed it from AnimeYo. I'll probably bring this to style's attention whenever I can be arsed, but anyone else can feel free o do it

People only use it for the name changes anyway. changing the HTML markup of your username doesn't really seem to be a popular choice recently.

*raises my hand* i was one of the abusers

though bobcat made me pay everything back -.-

the lottery is glitched but i mean if you want points you should jsut post and earn them it is why i got my lots o points ^^

...I won a lottery too, just to see what it did

ABUSESOFPOWARZ.

Cheers for your support, FB. We can't edit things on the server, because Style has access, That's the way it's been since the year dot, and I see no real reason that we need access otherwise. We may not be root, but we are yellow

Grey Fox will become famous soon enough

*Tries to do the animal crossing shocked look*

The VB-Plaza should stay it Rocks.
I've seen plenty of VB forums before and they're always more boring when they do the whole take off the shoutbox and VB-plaza options, then it's just time to leave and find somewhere more lively.


besides regardless of wether or not name changes are the most recent items to be used and the fact i'm the only buyinng ribbons and crap now, would it be more of a collector maniac thing to buy all the display stuff anyway?

I'm sorry, what? Got me lost a bit there

nah, I don't want to turn the store off. It's still reasonably well-used, insofar as I can see.

yeah, but vbplaza is a major loophole in vbulletin sites security. I agree with betong, remove.

Is it really that much of a 'loophole'?
And since WHEN have we had big enough security issues to worry about turning crap like vB Plaza off?

I like it... It's certianly not a concern, so keep it. Duh.

...and that's not the point!
Teh Lottery is.

Despite how much its liked ryo, hacking sites becomes a lot easier when vBplaza is installed.

If I remember correctly, there is an exploit, or something to do with cookies. Not too clued up on the full details, if I find out the specifics I'll pass them on to style.
