The closer something gets to perfection, the more minute flaws become visible.

Well, I think a complete history of the software, founders, developers, Jelsoft, and anything relating to vBulletin would be a nice feature on this site.

Well, Jelsoft as a company was founded in 2000. vBulletin was initially a PHP/MySQL version of UBB.threads, but has evolved quite well since then.
ubb.classic, which at the time was just ubb

You mean ubb aka ubb.classic these days.Originally Posted by Quillz
Begin a ubb user in the old days I watched this thing take shape (as an outsider), it has come a long way!

That wiki has lies. I will have to explain what the v really stands for and that the answer isn't nothing.
John has UBB and rewrites it in PHP since it is killing his server at vb-world.net. You take the v from vb-world.net and append it to bulletin and you have vBulletin.
That is more appropriate than "The v stands for nothing".

OK but what the 'v' in vb-world.net then stood for? And it's been confirmed by Zachery & Wayne that it means 'nothing, nothing at all', so you can't really blame the Wiki editors for following staff posts.

Why would it stand for that if the vB has nothing to do with Virtual Basic, though? I always thought it was short for "virtual," as in "virtual bulletin board system."
As far as I can recall both Kier and Scott (but who trusts scooty? really) saying that the v meant nothing.

Maybe you should have a history page?
vBulletin is in PHP but vb-world.net for which it was named was a site about Visual Basic.
