Well one trip to a site like mIRCx where one can download thousands of mIRC scripts which come with the .exe demonstrates one thing - you are completely wrong about your assumptions that scripts that come with mIRC do so only when they also come with a key or keygen or crack, etc. It's just a patently absurd suggestion and commensurate with your posting patterns of late which are becoming increasingly provocative and nit-picky. IE: You argue for the sake of doing-so, not because you have found some valid evidence to support the arguement.

I would suggest that at least 95% of all scripts that are released with the .exe DO NOT come with a crack to disable the nag screen. If you like I will run a survey on the top 50 scripts from that site to prove my point.

The only script I have seen ever that was cracked was a complete and thorough job. It looked quite nice too, whoever wrote it knew what they were doing because all popups, toolbar skins, scripts, etc were hard-coded into the .exe. Christ only knows how but it was. Shame that it also came with a massive backdoor. Of course this sort of thing is against the mIRC licence, though that in itself isn't an issue here.
