Hosting Hack (vBulletin 3.6.0)

[harmor]

I've been working on a hack for vBulletin that I want to sell.
The reason for selling it is that I put a lot of man hours into this script.

My hack is for those post to host forums where an user needs enough posts to receive hosting.
The main part works great but I'm still approving upon it.

This clip only shows the user requesting hosting for their first time

This clip shows the user changing his hosting details
http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_change.htm

This clip shows the user upgrading to a better hosting plan
http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_upgrade.htm

I'm sorry about the huge files, I'm new at Macromedia Captivate.
The reason I'm posting it here is because I'd like feedback on the videos.


Here are some screenshots.

If the user does not have enough post he or she cannot request hosting
The screenshot below represents a newly registered user with zero posts.
Overview 1 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_no_plans.png)

If the user does have enough posts a link will be presented to them under the appropriate plan
The screenshot below represents an user who has enough posts for the "Basic" plan.
Overview 2 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_basic_plan.png)

The screenshot below represents a user who has enough posts for the "Expanded" plan.
Overview 3 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_expanded_plan.png)

If the user clicks the link "Request This Plan" he or she will be directed to a form
Request Form (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/request_form.png)

If the form is left blank they'll get a message telling them to fill in all fields
If the user enters anything other than letters or numbers then a message will tell them that they can only use letters or numbers.
If the username is longer than 8 characters it'll show the user that the username cannot be longer than 8 characters.

After the user has successfully submitted the form they'll see this on the overview
Overview 4 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_awaiting_plan.png)

In a private forum a new thread is created in a forum you specified through the ACP.
New Request Thread (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/thread_new_request.png)

Within said thread is the screenshot of the post below.
The password is randomly generated and inserted into a field in the user's database. If user forgets their password you can reset their password very easily.
New Request Post (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/post_new_request.png)

If accepted the title of the thread will change aswell
Hosting Accepted (Thread) (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/thread_accepted_request.png)

A private message will be sent to the user who requested the hosting
Hosting Accepted (PM) (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/pm_accepted_request.png)

When the user goes back to the overview page they can change hosting details, such as their username or subdomain.
Overview 5 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_accepted.png)

When they click "Change account details" they'll be sent to a form
Change Details Form (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/change_details_form.png)

I have changed my subdomain to "harmor.xenweb.net" to andrewharmor.xenweb.net but I left my username the same.
Change Details (Post) (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/post_change_account.png)

If the user accumulates enough posts to match the next plan up they can upgrade to that plan
Overview 5 (http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/overview_upgrade.png)

When they click the "Upgrade to this plan" a new thread will be created automatically.
The administrator still decides to either accept or decline the request.

Would you purchase this hack if was a reasonable price?

If you delete an user's hosting account details you can place the user into another usergroup.
The user may be troublesome and you may need to keep an eye on him

There are some screenshots I didn't include in the post. Go to the directory to view them http://xenweb.net/forums/hosting_hack_screenshots/
If you would look at the date of the screenshots some date back to March 3 of this year.
That means I've been coding this hack for 5 months :)
Well I haven't been coding it for 5 months straight. I had the coding done a while ago, now I'm just adding more features .

[alvarez16]

$35 is pretty high ;).

Thanks

[harmor]

You don't know the work I put into the script.
So how would you know if $35 is high?

Im just stating, that most vBulletin hacks are free, and the paid ones (only a few) are usually cheap.

you should contact good peeps at http://www.ihostdev.com and maybe integrate your script with ipanel. We currently use ipanel and been waiting for their "post for host" feature for months now. Maybe you can sell your script to them or something.

Most substantial hacks (Geek Mart, vBSEO to name a few) are not free because of the time and effort it takes and the constant support authors have to offer because of vB upgrades etc.. Even then, $35 is not unreasonable to ask, it is about the average price for a paid-for hack (with some, like vBSEO much more expensive)

This have been done before and was considered illegal.
Take your risk...
