If infopop are worried about their Source code, then they should take steps to re-design their entire message board system, preferably a compiled program.
Just my thoughts
yes warez sites suck

I didn't know Geocities had Perl installed... Perl 1.00 maybe...
Compiled is not good.

Being compiled is allot better, you can keep your copyrights in, the program is allot faster, no source code. You could do some really cool stuff, like tell the program to lock when a license expires.
Being a hosted program just sucks in my oppinion he he

Just a thought
Good point Cal, I would personally link all the files and have a configuation script unlinked. That way you cant see any of the code but can see and edit the config file, all you have to do then is run ./make

Geocities does not run the board - they just have folders full of stolen software from Infopop, Super Scripts, Solution Scritps, Microsoft, Adobe, etc., etc.
I actually just had a great mail exchange with iDrive who is working like hell to keep illegitimate traffic off those servers. I applaud those efforts.
Report me a really, really juicy Warez site (That you don't own ) and I may be talked into sending you a Starbucks mug... I think that I owe one to Charles as well...
