vBulletin is a proprietary Internet forum software package created by James E. Limm and John Percival in 2000. It is written in PHP, using a backend database to support various community functions. The software has evolved into the vBulletin Connect platform which supports content management, social networking, blogging and calendar features through the use of "plug-in" architecture from third-party developers. Alongside its paid version, it also offers vBulletin Cloud as a subscription-based SaaS model. The modernized user interface provides an intuitive experience for both administrators and users while maintaining flexibility for customization. With more than two decades of updates and advancements under its belt, vBulletin remains a popular choice for fostering online interaction within communities of all sizes around the world.
