Who are the Bogleheads?
Bogleheads came into being in 1997 when Morningstar, established a Forum to discuss Vanguard Funds.

According to Mel Lindauer, When the Vanguard forum was being formed at Morningstar, many folks wanted it to be named the "Bogleheads Forum", after our friend and mentor, John "Jack" Bogle. Morningstar decided to name it "Vanguard Diehards" instead, referring to the persistence of the folks asking for a separate Vanguard forum. Thus the name "Vanguard Diehards".

"Boglehead" is a recognition and tribute to the man who spent his life helping individual investors get "a fair shake", says Taylor Larimore, a founding member of the Vanguard Diehards forum.

What is diehards.org?
Diehards.org was the brain child of Larry Auton and Alex Frakt who launched the site in 2001. The experimental site which listed the latest 50 posts in the Morningstar Vanguard Diehards Forum is now the entry portal for a majority of the visitors and participants of the boglehead forum.
