Seems specific to specific bulletin board software without indicating so. No relationship with BBCode, which is obviously sortof the same, but more relevant — Zanaq (?) 10:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

:Weak keep if expanded and sourced...I've used this code on a lot of fora. Rhinoracer (talk) 12:29, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

::Are you really sure it is not BB-code, which uses largely the same codes, and is being used much more? — Zanaq (?) 13:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete or Merge and redirect to BBcode -- This is a subset, superset, or variation of regular BBcode, and does not need its own article.  LinguistAtLargeMsg  21:53, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Merge to BBcode, which this is a minor although somewhat common variant of. JulesH (talk) 22:06, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
