Being decently aware of JKO history, there's a "funny" (not "haha" funny) circular timeline at work here:
JKO was created (kinda' sorta' part of PBB but not really
![Homersimpson :homer: :homer:](https://data.irate4x4.com/assets/smilies/homersimpson.gif)
) by PBB folks in reaction to a JK site referred to aptly as "North Korea".
In Eddie Oh's NK JK site (Waste 'o' LIfe, AKA WAL), people who mentioned other websites or non-supporting vendors were
banned ![Pissed :mad3: :mad3:](https://data.irate4x4.com/assets/smilies/pissed.gif)
.
So, PBB spawned a JK-specific website to give folks an actual open forum in which to discuss Jeep JK stuff- it rocked, seriously.
JKO underwent the "upgrade" before PBB did, but I still had PBB, so it was ~tolerable. Then PBB got teh AIDS too
Now, PBB is ironically turning into a
BAN and DELETE nightmare that gives Eddie's North Korea a true peer.
So basically, IBB is to PBB what JKO
was to WAL (though PBB went full-on North Korea after IBB started).
Nothing epic there^. But from the perspective of someone who started on JKO, a reciprocal journey that's
ironic as a fawk ![Shaking :shaking: :shaking:](https://data.irate4x4.com/assets/smilies/shaking.gif)
