This is probably old news by now, but as it appears  we have been given the boot.

http://vbb.volition-inc.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/017609.html

so that our buddies in V-land can concentrate on developing exiting releases in the snowboard and wrestling categories.:doh: as the space-sim is a dead field.  

mmmkay.

Anyway, nice to meet.

Much Thankies

[Shrike]

Damn that's bright....

Anyhow, welcome.

[Grey Wolf]

Must save FS Bible! Be right back!

EDIT: Got it, just need to edit the HTML so it displays right....

[ionia23]

And no, I can't spell either.

Well, here I am - starting from scratch with a single post to my name (as of right now) again.

My question is - are we supposed to use this particular forum as a *ahem* replacement for the old FRED/2 forum, or is this for something else?  And if this is for something else, are we going to create a FRED/2 forum?

and so it begins....

[Corsair]

Firstly...
:thepimp:[SIZE=60]WELCOME TO HLP!!![/SIZE] :thepimp:
Enjoy your stay!
This is rather unneccesary with the VBB going down and all but anyway:
WE ARE HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS. YOU WILL LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR COMPUTERS. WE WILL ADD YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND VERNACULAR DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR FORUM WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.
But this is necessary!
Welcome to the HLP Forums!!
Exits are to the rear and left, in case of emergency shotguns are located under the seats.

Secondly: No. This is the General FS Forum. With the influx of n00bs from the VBB, there may eventually be a FREDding forum, but for now, use the MODing forum. That's what everyone else uses.

and Lastly: Being a n00b is nothing to be scared about! We don't flame them like they did at the VBB! So post counts don't really matter.
Have fun!

Hehe, I knew it was only a matter of time.  

Are there any parting celebrations being planned?

Agh, but why the hell do you have to come here ionia32? You're just another self-indulgent ass if your prior history on the VBB is any indication. I, certainly, would like to see you get the frick outta here, and out of the community.  Permanently.

Votes to get ionia 32 out:

5,003,235,758,956.21

Votes to keep ionia 32 in:

(Disputed: 1)

Ouch.  \

BTW, Analazon, I've got several thermal detonators for you.  Yeah.

Check the FS modding forum for any FRED-type questions.  We might open a dedicated FRED forum in the next few days though, so stay sharp.

Another one!:eek:

Good god, that banner is BRIGHT!:cool:

[GLOW=green]WELCOME TO THE HLPBB! [/i][/GLOW]
 
This is better place than VBB, so there isn't much to worry about. And I'm newbie here, too.

A dedicated Fred2 forum would be good, given the influx of Fredders to be expected.  All us poor single-player mission designers have nowhere to go now.
