This is a special vB.org announcement to inform vB.org hackers and members of a special one-of-a-kind vB event where you get to meet and chat with some of the people who have brought you vB! This event appears to have been organized by xiphoid.
vB.com thread about this here (upon which this announcement is based):

> What is this event ?
Everybody who is interested in having a real-time on-line chat about vBulletin and specificly about the upcoming version (3), is hereby invited to participate.
> Who will be there ?
Hopefully several official vBulletin team members and developers. Users who have experience with running vBulletin (version 3) on their web site for some time now and known template and source code hackers and hopefully some other familiar faces. And you?
At the moment several users from the vBulletin staff have informed us that they will do their best to join the chat! We have also received a few comments from users from the hacking community and users who already run version 3 of vBulletin. If you want to join, or chat with them, then we will see you soon!
> What will be discussed ?
In general the vBulletin software, and specifically version 3. Everybody is allowed to share their thoughts and ideas about the upcoming version. But ofcourse, anything vBulletin related is welcome and open for discussion. The great thing is, you can ask questions directly!
> When is this event ?
We have set the date for upcoming Friday (April 11th 2003).
We will log everything, so if you miss it, you can read afterwards (but of course, that isn't as cool). You are welcome the whole 24 hours of the day, but we hope most will join around 19:00 GMT +1
> Where is this event ?
The IRC vBulletin Chat will be held in the official vBulletin.org IRC channel #vBorg on the DevCore Network. You can come there with any IRC chat client, or by the java chat feature through the vBulletin.org web site. If you want to come with your own IRC client, point it to: /server irc.devcore.co.uk 6667 and once connected, /join #vBorg (For Windows users we advice mIRC (download) and for *nix users we advice irssi).
> Anything special ?
Of course we can not promise anything, but hopefully when one of the developers have the time to join, he or she might spill some unknown, yet unreleased information about the upcomming version of vBulletin!
> I have more questions !
Feel free to ask > info@vBulletin.nl (xiphoid)
> Other relevant info:
Users with the @ sign in front of their name:
These are the channel operators. They manage the channel and the users in the channel. These users can be robots, vbulletin staff members, or just regular users (like me) picked out to help out. We can not give you channel operator status, so don't ask for it. And if a user is misbehaving, or you need help, you can contact a channel operator to help you out.
Users with the + sign in front of their name:
These are users who are 'voiced', this is more a sign of respect and friendship, rather then serving its original purpose for when the channel is 'muted'. We will give out voice to certain users, staff members or otherwise.
Users with no signs in front of their name:
Visiters of the channel.
Users who misbehave:
If we find a user spamming their site, swearing in the channel or ranting/flaming others - the channel operators might take action in the form of a kick from the channel or even a ban from the channel. The same rules apply as seen on most forums apply to the chat too. So please behave!
