would vbulletin forums still function if all jelsoft servers go down forever ?

[محروم.كوم]

i'm curious what would happen if all the vbulletin servers and associated stuff were to shut down ? would all forums still work ok ? i guess one thing is that the (c) notice at the bottom wouldn't be updated each year.

what else ? i assume we would be able to log into admiccp. 'cause it's fact that every time we log into it, jelsoft gets a ping and sends the serial and who knows what else. so i'm wondering what happens if the contact can not be made - and for a long time.


don't bother with answers like "they're too big it will never happen" or suchlike. i'm simply curious if the forums would come to a halt or keep going albeit with possible minor annoyances.
