Aww! It was so cool seeing @Princess being active! I miss her, haven’t spoken to her in like 10 years.
 
Oh lord...vBulletin, the one platform I hated back in the day....and still hate to this day. :D
 
Yeah they have slipped a lot hahaah. What a blast from the past wow! It’s so weird seeing that!
 

I can see i had been active in the past 48 hours haha. Interesting to look at some of our old forums etc.

The title of this thread got the Smash Mouth song Keep It Down from their self titled album in my head lol. This is so cool though! Love it
 
You can use that wayback machine website to see all of our variations over the years.
 
I still dislike vBulletin myself. Don't blame you at all!
I read somewhere that they account for 1% of forum installations nowadays. They've really fallen from the top!

I'm sure that the following had something to do with it. I pulled this from wikipedia:


In October 2010, Internet Brands sued three former employees, just as their new competing software XenForo was to be launched,[2] as well as a second lawsuit in the United States claiming breach of contract, copyright infringement, and misappropriation of trade secrets.[5] In May 2011 it was announced that vBulletin had abandoned an attempt at preventing XenForo doing business,[6] and in 2013 the claims were dismissed.

I remember reading about that. Imagine if those XF developers stayed with vBulletin and there was never a fall-out. We'd probably be using vB right now and it would be a way better product.
