Actually vB is my first forum. The story went like this:

Went to ezboard. Looked around. Didn't care for the ads. This is a company forum and ads are just not professional.

Tried UBB Threads. Couldn't get the thing installed on my server. Always the same error message at exacly the same.

Tried vB. Installed on the first try, decided to stick with it. Company bought it.

Tried wB, or Woltlab Burning Board for my personal board, since it's free. It's OK, but not good enough, so it looks like I'll be buying a license for myself as well :)

Uhm... let me think...

ezboard --> YaBB (>_< doh!) and finally vB!!

We are really happy with vB!! :)

EZBoard >> XMB .25 through 1.x "Winter B***job" or whatever stupid names they attach to their version numbers. >> wBB >> vB 2.2.5 (Where I plan to stay :))

UBB v5.x*shudder* --> vB

wow.. same here ub2k also... switched to VB.
tech stuff related.
from what i heard, the UB2K creator was sued. him and his uncle got in trouble. that determined me to look for another board. free boards were out of the question for me, so i found VB, while looking at UBB. lol, a UBB user was telling others about VB. i quote:
"take a look at this board, i want it... www.vbulletin.com"

i remember how amased i was when i saw the VB look. it was a huge difference from my little UB2K.
since then, i never had the need to look for other board. :)

my first board was vbforums.com (which, if you guys didn't notice, works with Jelsoft also for testing the newer version of vBulletin ;))...then after that, I went to alot of boards....the first board I ever set up was an Ezboard, then it was wBB, and now vBulletin :D

ubb 5.54 :) i hacked the thing up, then moved to 6.0, once on 6.0 i started hacking again, by the time 6.05 came out i had 106 hacks installed, then my server started throwing fits, i told them to leave my files up while i backed them up, i was planing on moving to a php solution, they deleated em, i lost all my work as i dident have a backup (i think because of a format), i started over on vB 2.2.5, and so far im loving it

VB-Forums was once (and still is I think, at least partially) John's forum. He created vBulletin for that site, because UBB was too heavy for all the users he got.

My forums have been running since 1999... started on UBB 4 series, upgraded to 5 and then 6 series. Experimented with boards such as Yabb, Ultraboard, Ikonboard, phpBB, T-Forum and the like, found vB, bought the 2 series - never looked back!
