Does anyone here actually find the VBB worthwhile any longer?
-
not after they killed Tell a Story. That thread started around the time freespace 2 did. It has the entire history of the freespace 2 community ever since the beginning. now its gone. My first post in it was on page 2

As long as THQ doesnt moderate, I find it a waste of time and server space. Although its just so much fun to have a place where the sarcastic smiley can be used in every thread, post, word, etc. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/rolleyes.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I've always had a sentimental attachment to that place with it being my first forum but recently there has been a spate of complete stupidity that has made discussion there almost impossible. When one troll/Newbie gets banned another ten arrive (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) You're right, it's a cesspool, second only to the Skittles BB.
-
I don't find it at all productive... sometimes I'll attempt to make some of the people who still post there see sense and attempt to clean it up - but it's really not working, mostly I just go there if I get bored... I really wish Volition could get a permanent moderator in there.
-
I am only there when i am bored like Thunder said. It's no fun to post there anymore even if there is after ages of non productive threads a productive thread apearse thats worth posting in but after 5 posts it's becoming a total flame war full of hate etc.
so for me no posting anymore there it's a waste of time and server space.

I usually go there just for fun to see what the latest issue is. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) It is no good for FS/FS2 anymore but is an interesting place to spend a few minutes reading flames. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
The place is currently in a much bigger mess than usual though since there is an annoying troll running around the boards.
-
i went from 10 posts a day to 5, to 2, then to nothing. now i only ckeck up every once and a while.
the whole thing is filled with tards.
-
Flame War? im there! Nothing like a War to boost the moral!
-
I like the VBB. Some of the people there are dumb enough to value my opinion (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Yeah, I used to visit the VBB all the time, but it just started to be too.... EVIL! Then when I came here, I literarely sighed with relief. Finally people with some sence and good behavior! Well... Acceptable behavior... You know what I mean, (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif) Now, I just post here, don't even bother in the VBB, I check now and then hoping to see a good post, but they are few and far between. All I usually see is the unholy "THERE WILL NOT BE A FS3!" thread...
HLP is the place to be! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Badges?! We don't need no stinking badges!!!

I actualy wouldn't even care if they shut down the whole place, it's only spam spam and 20+ times spam and more useless stuff insulting etc you know the drill there kill first then ask questions. I loved the place when i joined there it was peacefull and everybody was nice to each other even i never posted much until i joined the great HLP. i also got most of the tools thanks to the forums there but noboby seems to care about mods and new campaigns anymore i don't even P1mp there anymore because you get flamed because you p1mp or because your english grammer isn't good ( mine english grammer sucks ) so let the whole place rot like a corps i don't care anymore.

This thread makes me pretty sad. The VBB used to be a cool place. People could actually talk... and it was the funniest thing that happened in my day many a time (courtesy Plasma). Now that is, literally, all gone. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
I had no idea opening this place here would be so great, but all the admins here have definitely played a huge place in keeping it sane, useful, funny and friendly. And of course, all you Forumites out there only contribute to that. So, I guess, all's well that ends well. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
(The only time I visit the VBB nowadays is to try and... recover lost souls. Heheh. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif))
-
Youre back!
Woo!
-
Whatever happened to Plasma anyway? I haven't seen him in quite a while.
-
i think he's on the RF or Summoner boards.
-
Bah, I stopped going there a long time ago... actually, around the time when HLP was created. Tried to keep checking it, but things were already bad by then...
Ah, and I think the best place to find Plasma is on th3 b4r...

He's thinking of new, funny things to post while doing the Yatta Dance (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
Hmm, the troll there at the minute is the worst the Freespace BB has had (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) He's posting a string of flamebait as well as exhuming about five old threads every two seconds.
-
They aren't mean to newbies like they used to be... but there is never anything worthwhile to say... it isn't nearly as bad as the TMPBB is... but it lacks anyone worthwhile to talk to. On the whole, it's every aging official game board I've seen. Ugh.
-
Its quite troll infested.
-
Hmmmmm...I've noticed a trend:
Freespace 2 forum: No moderation
Relic HW forums: Just WAY TOO MUCH moderation
HLP: Just right (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
-

I wouldnt say that...
Xypher and frst can be a bit *****y sometimes, but other than that, its just as good as HLP.
-
Ah, but I'm not there - it can't be as good (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)
