| vB & VB This is getting to me, vB & VB, (vBulletin & Vikingboard) Everyone says VB or Vb, when it quite clearly is vB. (it even says on it vBulletin) its quite confusing, and will be even worse if Vikingboard becomes popular...

| VB commonly refers to Visual Basic, not specifically a forum software. The vBulletin software has always been abbreviated as vB, not VBB, vBB or any other abbreviation  .As for Vikingboard, while it may very well grow to be an established community software, I hardly think there will be any confusion between the two. | ||||
