Can you remove the powered by and version links from the footer? Are we allowed to do it?

I tried googling, but barely anything helpful comes up.

The only reason I am doing this is to get away from hackers.
No, the copyright to MyBB in the footer has to stay. However you can hide the version number from a setting inside AdminCP

I can hide it! HOW? thanks. Is there anyway I can buy or pay to remove that link?
Admin CP -> General Settings -> Show Version Numbers --> Set to Off. You can not remove the copyright by any way.

I have seen some sites hiding them by CSS and some even removed it. But I don't think it really matters... all matters is your content..

Thanks for your help.

As far as I know, there is no means to removing the copyright. In hiding the version number will help greatly against hackers though.

That's the standard thing we use when people don't have copyright. You are allowed to remove it, however you just won't be able to get official support Smile

Is there anyway, like I can pay you and get support while I remove the links?

What if I remove MyBB Group?
Bottom of http://www.101forums.com

it's the same link added twice.
I don't think it is the copyright that is the problem. I agree with N1loy.. it is the content and the type people that are drawn to your site. I feel that since you enjoy the board that the copyright is a display of the people that created it, and should be left out of courtesy just as the creator of a theme should be. In a sharing community it is difficult to find software that comes close to Mybb. Try hiding your stats instead. Smile
