all have vbulletin names in them and all say unofficial. domaina can be owned by anyone. u cant trademark a internet domain name. thats how alot of companies that register domains stay in business, by buying up possible domain names. for instance,
www.mikerowesoft.com. this was from a kid, who happend to have the name Mike Rowe, and decided to make that domain name, and m$ got fumed, tried to take it from him and lost. from what happend though, i think Mike got a lifetime membership to their programmer site and schooling and training to not market the name or some junk...i dunno. whatever it was, m$ was not able to get the site from him.
