Founded in 2004, vBHackers.com was established as a community dedicated to improving the popular vBulletin forum software created by Jelsoft Enterprizes Limited.

vBulletin software provides visible source code and has encouraged developers to add extensions since its inception. The latest versions of vBulletin include a plugin system making development of plugins and extensions a more streamlined process for programmers.

Crawlability Inc. are the makers of the leading vBulletin SEO solution (vBSEO), a plugin that can be installed within vBulletin in less than 5 minutes. The vBSEO Team works directly with many prominent developers in the vBulletin community, and felt that taking over management of vBHackers.com would be an excellent move to help build a new Web location for supporting development of all types of extensions to the core vBulletin product.

Crawlability President Juan Muriente stated:

"Our team is very excited to bring vBHackers on board. We see its incredible potential and are willing to commit the resources to making it grow and prosper as a resource for everyone in the vBulletin community.

We do not intend for it to be viewed as competition to other forums that exist for a similar purpose. Instead, we hope to build partnerships with all those that are interested in the vBulletin community. vBulletin.org is the #1 destination for admins and developers, including the vBSEO Team. We definitely plan to support them by having the vBHackers team release any great new plugin or extension we produce there as well.

100% collaboration is what we want. That's what will result in the greatest benefit to the entire vBulletin user base. We feel that our development and forum management processes that have been formed with vBHackers.com and vBSEO.com will allow us to make an impact. We have a lot of great people on board who feel the same and are eager to get started!"

Crawlability's vBSEO.com is an extremely productive forum. The vBSEO Team including its moderators, pre-release team, and support staff work together to deliver rapid support to everyone who needs help with vBSEO or needs more information before vBSEO-enabling their forums. Discussions on the forum stay very much on topic, and the vBSEO moderating staff keep non-productive communication to a minimum.

"Our forum runs very smoothly, and vBSEO.com is now regarded just as highly for its support as for our vBulletin SEO solution. The feedback we get is nothing short of amazing. We hope that by combining our team and methodologies, we can expect to see that same level of recognition of quality at vBHackers.com. Our first task with the vbhackers.com re-launch is to bring our new team up to speed on our support processes and bring new staff onboard. From there, we'll have our dev teams begin working on prioritized development of vBulletin plugins that will become the new must-have installs in 2007," says VP Ilia Muriente.

The vBSEO/vBHackers Teams plan to have re-launch of the site completed by the end of October 2006. New development initiatives may follow as early as November.

yep yep, I agree!

If they are truly committed to pumping the necessary resources into the project, and actually want to see it succeed, then I think the sky's the limit.

Here's to hoping!

Will this be the destiny for vBulletinSetup sometime in the future Brandon?? :o

I wont lie and say it's never been discussed.

I'll be running this place for at least another year. As long as I'm able to make enough to pay the hosting, it'll be in my control.
