Silly vbulletin question. Please Read!

I was just wondering hehe. What does the 'v' stand for in the company name?

I never herd anyone ask this question nor have I ever herd what it actually does stands for.

Thanks.

[GameCrash]

The company name is Jelsoft - can't find any 'v' there

There have been some discussion in the Chit Chat about the 'v' in vBulletin - you should find them using the search

Virtual Bulletin ??

[Wayne Luke]

This has been asked a lot of times....

The 'v' in vBulletin doesn't stand for anything. It is just there.

[MarkB]

It stands for Vinnie. Vinnie Bulletin owned a newsagent down the road from John's house where he used to buy the Beano when he was growing up. Vinnie ended up dying after being crushed by a stack of unsold Buster comics. vBulletin was thus named in tribute

vb = visual basic = vbulletin =P

Since vB was originally used for vbworld.com

vBB

Must you always do that? lol

[Thomas P]

even worse - there are vbs out there installed in directories named vb b

[Matthew Gordon]

Yeah, what is up with those people who call it vBB?

[MarkB]

They probably think of it as Virtual Bulletin Board, or it's a run-off from UBB users, etc.
