Talk:VBulletin

message: This section was deleted for the reason "Removed section: Discussion forum posts are not reliable 3rd party sources per Wiki standards. Section not written objectively. Material is granular and not relevant to article". -- CellarDoor2001
:I have undone the removal. CellarDoor2001 works for InternetBrands [] [] []. Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view and should not act as a press release.
:The section in question is a historical timeline with 14 references to verifiable announcements at vBulletin.com. Please refer to all the other references in the vBulletin article. They are all forum links to vBulletin.com. If forum posts are not usable, then the entire vBulletin article should be deleted.
:If you feel that the material is too granular, I suggest cleanup. Release history with dates and published strategies are not only relevant but prevalent on software articles throughout Wikipedia. Examples Mac OS X Windows
:This article was extremely out of date, containing speculative rumors about vBulletin 4 under the "future development" section. If a section needs work, I suggest improving rather than deleting. Feldon23 (talk) 14:29, 20 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This article has long suffered from being treated as a marketing entry to vBulletin both from fans of vBulletin and official employees as well, pre-acquisition by InternetBrands and after. There's much to be written about vBulletin, especially from a historical point of view that will unleash one of the most interesting stories of an Internet early pioneering product and company, for the greater good of knowledge and accurate, unbiased facts and information.

thread_title: vBulletin 4 Release and Controversy

message: I removed the section where it lists a few sites using vBulletin boards. That is just a spam, a way to get a link to their sites from the Wikipeida. vBulletin has a list of sites using their product on their webpage. I replaced the links with a message to see vBulletin's homepage.
Wikipeida isn't a place for you to get a link to your website.

To be covered?

thread_title:  2020 flaw 

message: All meaningful information has been removed. All context, impact on the forum industry, and historical significance have been completely stripped away. This article might as well be deleted if it is going to remain in its current state.Feldon23 (talk) 16:35, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: 80% of the article has been removed. Sourced information over a span of a decade. NPOV and NOR is WP editor code for "I'll delete anything I feel like." Feldon23 (talk) 01:15, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: A Cold Contextless Recitation of Minimal Facts

message: This article used to actually be useful for understanding the history and milestones of vBulletin.  Since someone gutted the article, it now contains nothing of worth.  Can we get some kind of agreement to bring back the removed items?  If there are items that do not belong due to various reasons, such as not sourced, etc., they can be then removed one at a time with an entry in this Talk section explaining why. The fact that most of the article was removed with zero explanation is suspicious and not in the keeping with Wikipedia group editing ideals. I feel zero responsibility to respect the removal of most of an article with no explanation.  Fanra (talk) 22:29, 6 May 2021 (UTC)
