vBulletin is a proprietary Internet forum software package sold by MH Sub I, LLC doing business as vBulletin. It is written in PHP and uses a MySQL database server. It competes commercially with XenForo, while competing free forum software includes WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, MyBB, and phpBB.
History
Internet Brands acquired the product from JelSoft in 2007.[2]
In July 2010, the BBC reported that there was a serious flaw in vBulletin software that allows anyone to easily access the database username and password.[3]
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.[4]. In May 2011 it was announced that vBulletin had abandoned an attempt at preventing XenForo doing business,[5] and in 2013 the claims were dismissed.
vBulletin 4 was released in late 2009. The StyleVars system was added to draw CSS variables directly from the vBulletin Template code.[6]
