Same. But for vBulletin. I then went on to build my own forum software (because who didn't?): http://web.archive.org/web/20040523030817/http://www.webtric...

Same. Used to moderate the official vbulletin.org with some good people. This got me started in my career and I would not be where I am today without all that time spent learning the internals of vBulletin. Of course, it's a shitshow nowadays after the company took it over and the majority of good people (including developers) created XenForo. I have not been involved for over a decade :)

That's amazing. I spent a fair bit of time on vbulletin.org (I think) back in the day. Wasn't a huge poster, but lurked a lot and remember reading Kier's posts.

Same here! Originally phpBB, then IPB 1.3, then vBulletin. Good times. :)

I was entirely obsessed with this space when I was a teenager/young adult. I would search out and try every forum software I could get my hands on, and of course (because who didn't) made my own.

God that is peak mid-00s design. Wonderful job, you hit me right in the nostalgia.

I remember wtcBB! Such a neat little script, reminded me a lot of vBulletin 2 :D

that era of three column layouts, solid borders, pixel graphics, tiny text, etc. is so nostalgic
