Copyright removal

[Claraviolet]

Mybb allows copyright removal. In other words, you can remove that back-link in the footer which directs the users to mybb official website. Even so, in turn, you won't receive any support from mybb, from that point on.

I believe it's not worth the effort. So, what do you guys think?
Do you think it's really worth it, to remove the copyright? Can you really manage everything without mybb support?

I don't ask them for support but I won't remove it anyway because they did most of the work for a free forum software and earn a backlink.

I think out of simple respect towards the MyBB group, credit should be left intact, or at least moved someplace where you would like it as I know not everyone likes to put credits in the footer.

Though I will say I have received support and did not have to link my forums URL, so it's very possible to still get support and not have the credit intact as long as they do not ask for your URL.

I only ask them for support sometimes but the majority of the time I will just leave the copyright. It doesn't hurt the forum in any way

Sometimes I will just edit the message to fit my needs (remove the year dates, and just have "Powered by MyBB" or "Community by MyBB" depending on which text looks best with the given theme). I always try to keep the copyrights unless I have a strong, valid reason to remove them.

I wouldn't remove it. They're giving you something for free, and I don't have that much of an issue at all with giving them the credit due to them.

Out of all the forums, I've only changed it one. I just moved it to the bottom right of the header. I keep it with all other forums.
