Default Who is Chen?

Hi to all!
I found... I don't know who is he - admin or user?
I mean Chen, Formerly vBulletin.org Owner and Founder
His reg.date is 20. Sep 2001.
And reg.date of user with uid=2, Sinecure, is 29. Oct 2001
So what does it mean? Is vb.org was closed in period 20 Sep - 29 Oct in 2001?
And the second question- why Chen is no longer visit us?

Chen started vBorg (a hackers site for vb)... It was bought by vBulletin and was made official... Chen had other projects (Hivemail) going on and moved on... it was volunteer then it's volunteer now; it's changed a little but still the same goal: vBulletin Modifications.

Things have changed but here we are...

Search people!

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....7&postcount=28

Anyway a few more tid-bits from the olds days;

- At one point hacks were hosted on vBulletin.com's forum. Once vB.org became "semi-official" these threads were merged into this site. I think the users were to...honestly I'm not sure. If you've noticed some REALLY old threads with posts from guests and ever wondered why...well now you know!

As for FireFly (Chen)...well all I can say about him is he was someone everyone looked up to. In many ways he was the heart of and soul of this forum for a very long time...a leader by example and someone you could always have a friendly chat with. I'm sad to say that I didn't get to know him very well before he left us. But I learned much from him and his work.

Chen was our vB God (the one who started it all) and still is to many of us.
