YaBB has been around since July 4, 2000! Exactly how many versions of YaBB have existed? Well, you'd be surprised at how far YaBB has come and how many releases have been put out....

Please be aware that these versions may be very buggy and insecure (note that the only supported version is the current release available on the downloads page). Fewer bugs and more security is what YaBB has strived for throughout these releases. You can see the stability progression and new features as you scroll through each stage.
