MyBB Community Forums

Something that I have been wondering..
How long did MyBB take to make? Like the very first version.
Thank you!

DevBB is going back to around 2002 which was forked from XMB (a forum software which is still in development, which Chris Boulton (The MyBB founder) originally worked on until the XMB Group split up). MyBB 1.00, as a final, was released in 2005 but was in development since 2003 with a variety of preview releases and release candidates.
