Not now they are licenced under the LGPL and run under these terms. Appropriateness of content For ethical and legal reasons the MyBB group also chooses not to provide support to websites containing any of the following: Hacking Pornography Illegal file distribution or piracy Any other forms of illegal activity Racist or hateful content Users known to operate a website which contains any of the above will be noted by staff and they will be denied support in all future instances, regardless of whether the support is intended for another acceptable site operated by the user. This is because otherwise MyBB staff can not be certain if their support is benefiting an acceptable site or one that is not. Essentially any forum with any real content runs the risk of loosing support from the very engine that powers it. I suspect a big move to the other BB software over this. There has long been a stigma of "mybb is for kids" I dont think they will ever really shake this. Not a huge fan of MyBB anymore. Not now they are licenced under the LGPL and run under these terms.
