Buffaloed one of our most knowledgeable members here mentioned these two organizations in one of his posts.
Can you all tell us what you know about these sites, which one is the official vB site and what the other does and a bit of the history about their relation to one another :confused:

vbulletin.com is the official site where you can get professional support, download upgrades, report bugs, and so forth. vbulletin.org is a site for vbulletin owners to download hacks and skins for their forum. Though funded by Jelsoft (owners of vBulletin), most of their higher level staff is not directly employed by Jelsoft. Hacks from .org are not officially supported by Jelsoft (in otherwords .com), but since there was a demand for a large vB hacking community, .org exists.

So the .org is not an official site at all or supported by the software developer in any way other than paying for the hosting of the .org :confused:

Nixon pays for .org. Dick Cheny manages the endowment.

Correct. Though you will notice that many Jelsoft staff have accounts there, and a few even release hacks.

Do you own a vB license??
vB.org is quasi official. Although they don't officially support mods (i.e., give technical support to make them work), they do support mods being built and tie vB license access to vB.org.

That would be anarchy in this family. ;) Going AMD I would be heretic.
Nope, going to stick with PCs (as I have since '83).
