VBulletin

Is it true that vBulletin was coded entirely by a 16-year old? My friend told me that, and I find that amazing if true.

I hope so, it'll give all of us 16 year olds a good name. 😃

thats pretty amazing.. napster was created by a what (19?) yr old.. and look at the revolution he started, yet a programmer fresh from school cant find work anywhere :rolleyes: damn them

Actually it makes me feel like a goob because these kids years younger than me can program such a great message board and I can barely write a line of PHP code to use includes (.inc). 🙁

actually I never call my includes .inc cause if some clever fella finds a way to call it there is no way to know how the server will serve it... I always call my includes .php with default call handling so noone can play with me toys 😃

and btw nice paparapsan avatar 🙂

Or, if you're obsessed with neatness and want to know exactly what files are for including, you could call it [myfile].inc.php 🙂 That's what I do. Best of both worlds.

Ted from Infopop said otherwise on his message board.
