    vBulletin is in PHP but vb-world.net for which it was named was a site about Visual Basic.

    Maybe you should have a history page?

    As far as I can recall both Kier and Scott (but who trusts scooty? really) saying that the v meant nothing.

    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".

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

    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.

    started a topic History?

    History?

    Why isn't there a in-depth history of vBulletin/Jelsoft? I haven't really found one...
