This is a copy of an e-mail I got back from NI when I asked them why they removed my post from the forum. Just thought I would share this little bit of information with you all.
Hi Joe,
This is a good question you posed. As you mentioned, there are other unsupported features and technologies that are discussed on our Discussion Forums. However, VI scripting is different in one significant way. Though it is currently unlicensed (because it's not a complete product), it will soon become a licensed technology, meaning that it must be purchased just like other software. It is in beta right now so it's not being sold yet but, in its final form, it will be a fully licensed product just like the LabVIEW Development System, Application Builder, Report Generation Toolkit, etc. Therefore, to share this technology is to break the licensing and/or Nondisclosure agreements. That is why we remove these posts from our website. Thanks for your understanding in this. If you have any other questions about this, feel free to respond anytime. Best regards,
J.R. Allen

Re: Post in the NI Discussion Forums
That is OK Molly, I pretty much knew that it would get removed. No hard
feelings to you or NI, I still love the forums. Just one question why can
we not post that type of thing, there are a lot of things that posted that
NI does not support, never will support, and will probably change in the
future that will cause programs to break when upgraded. I just wanted to
let people know that these things are out there.
Thanks anyway
Joe Hoskins
