    I am curious about the initial used in releases, particulary "C.E" & "V.R" .
    For some reason I feel the need for more of a "name"...just curiosity I guess.
    I also wondered about "R2R" a little, but R2R "feels" ok to me and I do not feel the same kind of "want to know".
    I think it has to do with the strange format X.X, with no "." after the second character.
    In my head, do I think "cee-dot-ee" & "vee-dot-are"?
    Yes i do, and maybe THAT is my problem!
    Perhaps I am weird, but maybe this is the kind of place to ask a weird question. :mad:

  3. Perhaps you are weird, and perhaps this is the kind of place to ask a weird question.
    R2R stands for Reverse To Revolutionize. C.E. stands for Czech Experience while V.R. stands for Virtual Revolution.
    Well, at least I know about R2R:unsure: I am pulling stuff outta my butt about the other two:rofl:.

    Being Czech myself, it would make me incredibly proud if CE would stand for Czech Experience. :rofl:

    V.R are Russian, so it is more like Vlad from Russia. Not sure about the CE tho

    Oh, yeah ... how could i forget what R2R stands for when it is in each NFO?
    Well, ta is probably why i did not feel a "need to know " ... i already "knew".
    But thanks for the other two!
    ... even if not exactly right, it will be enough to stop my brain doing its stupid stuff! :crazy:

    By the way, the correct spelling is CE-V.R, without the dot in CE. Which makes it even more interesting.

    I always thought CE just stood for Cracked Edition.

    R2R= Reverse 2 Revolutionize
    CE= Cracked Edition
    VR= Version Registered

    And they are Ukrainian not Russian

    Thanks, t66t. Yeah I had the CE wrong :P
    All that makes logical sense for sure :)
    And that does give me someone to thank in my mind :)

    I almost got it perfect!
    R2R: Rock to Roll (Japanese not good with rock so we can forgive the error)
    CE: Community Edition (they use to be free, like Visual Studio Community Edition)
    VR: Vetter than R2R (Ukranian not good with English so we can forgive the error)

    :wink::rofl:
