I think FRED is next to go (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
Looks like THQ is trying to strangle off support for the Interplay published games. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/mad.gif)

I am so glad, i moved over to the HLP!

I hope the FRED2 forum doesn't go. It was one of the few places on the VBB that served a useful purpose.

I wouldn't worry too much. Even if the Interplay and (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/v.gif) olition run boards die it won't effect us here. When those places go TU they'll just hang out over here.
It's just up to us to tell the peeps we want to continue to be active in the comunity where we are (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

I told you that It ("http://www.geocities.com/jskgames/home.html") would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

Who remembers a few months back some idiot was impersonating a V employee and started a thread saying that the fred2 forum would be shut down?

Any newbies who flame at GTD Wolf are going to be thrown right out the airlock. (In other words, complete ownage)

I dunno, my son kicked off a thread at the VBB that lasted for over a hundred posts, and I can't recall a single flame. Of course, maybe we were just very, very, very lucky.
I know that the Volition guys swore off the VBB because of all the crap over there. And I've been wondering how long corporate at THQ would put up with the VBB free-for-all.
Has anyone every thought of extending a personal invitation to V-people to look in on us from time to time over here? Participate a little, perhaps even under an "assumed identity," after work? My impression was that some of them had many regrets about the demise of FS after v.2.
Naturally, if the VBB closes FS2, we'll be playing *Freespace 3* over here -- hordes of nasty "Shivans" displaced by a superior species descend upon the valiant but small-in-number Hard Light warriors, who desperately defend their part of space . . . .

I registered here along time ago, but didn't post much. Now that the FS2 BB has gone completely nuts with all of this SW stuff, I''m going to post here instead.

No doubt, you were very lucky, but I think Tim also managed to impress everyone by telling us about an authentic possibility of FS3. His grasp of writing skills also no doubt impressed everyone sufficiently to keep from flaming him.
After all, it's difficult to insult someone you're in awe of. Ascraeus, it seems like you and your son are the best chance the FS community has of seeing an FS3-like product. No doubt, that has garnered you and your son a fair amount of respect from all of us.

Heh, sounds good to me Ascraeus. But I have a feeling most people over at the VBB won't know about HLP - which is a real shame... I wonder what they'll do.

No, they've just moved, as HLP and Warpstorm have shown

Yeah, I doubt anyone has noticed but I've been posting more here than I ever have been at the VBB lately. This place has a much more welcome atmosphere.

Heh, yeah - cheers Eishtmo, we'll replace our "you have been banned" message with "you have been sent to the Rift, this will open in 5 seconds..." (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)
Note: we don't actually have a banned message, it's a joke.

What is everyone's opinion on the recent developments over at the VBB? How well do you think the SquadWar community is being integrated into the mainstream FreeSpace 2 BB? How do you think this will bode for the VBB, and what's your outlook on the VBB's future (just assume it has a future for discussion's sake)?

Admiting you have a problem is the first step to overcoming it.

Owing to the new moderators, a lot rosier tahn even before SW was closed down. At least when the SW forum was closed, it may have got rid of a few of the hangers-on only there to flame (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
