Find vBulletin Forums That Allow IMG Code
After a post on BHW, I decided to begin exploring different Google queries that could result in finding lists of forums that allow IMG code. While we do not support stuffing public forums and believe that it will get you caught by your affiliate managers and banned from your networks, it is still an interesting problem.
By default vBulletin uses a string of “__________________” or 18 _’s to separate signatures from posts. This would be the first part of your query. By default vBulletin also lists Posting Rules that indicate which posting properties are allowed at the bottom of many pages. The string “[IMG] code is On” would indicate just what it says; that [IMG] codes will work.
So, a sample query for Google to find vBulletin forums with signatures that allow the [IMG] code would be:
“__________________” “[IMG] code is on”
If you wanted to find more niche-specific forums, you could add a keyword search on top of the original search. So your query could, for example, read:
“__________________” “[IMG] code is on” “blackhat”
Try it out and let us know what you think.
Video Update:
We decided to make a video to show our users just how effective this method can be if it is used the right way.

DAMN DAMN DAMN EXCELLENT POST!
Great post Olden,
we can also add more strings to filter out these results from help posts and VB support and so on. So we can get what we actually are looking for
“vB code is On” “Smilies are On”
as those two strings are wildly used in forms
@Eugene
Thanks.
@Anubis
Yeah, a far more exact query can be made to get exactly what you’re looking for. If you come up with any more additions to the query, please feel free to post.
I started this discussion to discuss public usable web proxies:
Which are really anonymous?
Which can unblock facebook, myspace etc, in other words: are fresh ?
Which would you recommend?
Thanks for your help,

P.S.: In my land, the freedom of speech is somehow limited, please give me a hint, if you have doubts about your recommendation.

I’m not sure if this is spam or not, but mrtruckster, you should probably look into anti-spyware or anti-virus software for your computer. It sounds like some malicious software was somehow installed on your computer.
