The "v" simply means: "VERY much better than UBB."
I tried UBB years ago...it was a bugger to set up and get running. The other forums I tried (including vB and a couple other popular PHP ones) were basically ready to go once they were uploaded and populated with the database login info.
History?

Sorry for bumping this up again. But I remember reading that since vB was pretty much uBB using PHP & Mysql, they took the next letter of the alphabet and used "v". So, instead of uBulletin, vBulletin.
AKA, it means almost nothing, just a way to brand a software.Leave a comment:

The v does stand for nothing but it does have an origin in that it was designed for vb-world. So technically wikipedia is correct.Leave a comment:

I know what Wiki is, I just mean that particular vBulletin entry. Certain people are keeping tabs on vB.Leave a comment:

It no longer says "v stands for nothing."Leave a comment:

It doesn't stand for Visual, Virtual, or Visual Basic. Simply, it is called vBulletin because it was originally created for vb-world.net.
That is closer to the truth than 'The v means nothing'.Leave a comment:
