http://www.checkdomain.com/cgi-bin/c...=vbulletin.org

jelsoft seems to be the owner now

Also i think vb.org was founded by wayne luke long time ago (that's where the green style came from)
but the "official" vbulletin.org has been refounded then by Sinecure and chen

He even has his own E-Mail program which is crazy. A 16yr old making like 160US per licence when he live in Isreal.

My facts may be wrong so please correct me if they are.

I thought Chen was around 20 years old or so like most (definitely not all) of the Jelsoft people.

I think his script is $130/license but he's not the only member of his team.

I don't know how old he is, but if someone is able create a site like vb.org (which IMO is the most powerful "feature" of vbulletin) gets my respect even if he is 6 years old. Let alone the email program which is definetely a highly complicated script and one of the best in its field..

Well on yaxay's Staff page it says he was 16. That was put up about a year ago so I'd imagine he's probably around 17 by now.

Most of the hack's I've installed were Chens, I don't think I would be as interested in VB if it wasn't for him. He made AMAZING and easy to understand hacks for free.

Goes to show you what alot of time and dedication (and talent of course lol) can get you.
