Originally posted by SkuZZy The domain name was sold privately, out of ebay this evening. It was sold to James, from Jelsoft.

BGray here. I'm relatively new to vbulletin but I'm coming on fast and I love It.
In response to some posts made here about trademarks, I can't find any for the word vbulletin at USPTO. Maybe I'm missing something though. :nervous:
Most companies wouldn't have any problem with someone else owning another extension of their name if the content doesn't put a bad light on the name, especially since the winner of the .net auction will probably develop a good site for the community. But I'm no expert on these things either.
Anyway, to my point:
I am the owner of vbulletin.us .
I would love to create a site that would be useful to this community as it is one of the best I've ever seen.
I'm wanting to know if any of you out there would be interested in partnering with me to create a site that would bring added value to the vbulletin community.
I will provide the name, license, hosting and anything else I can.
You provide the design and format.
Anyone interested please email me and we can work it out from there.

Well done, SkuZZy - that is indeed a very honorable thing you did there. I salute you.
