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 :)
-
Damn that's bright....
Anyhow, welcome.
-
Must save FS Bible! Be right back!
EDIT: Got it, just need to edit the HTML so it displays right....
-
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....

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. :D
Have fun!

Hehe, I knew it was only a matter of time. :)
Are there any parting celebrations being planned? :D
Agh, but why the hell do you have to come here ionia32? :no: You're just another self-indulgent ass if your prior history on the VBB is any indication. :mad: I, certainly, would like to see you get the frick outta here, and out of the community. Permanently. :mad2:
Votes to get ionia 32 out:
5,003,235,758,956.21
(Disputed: None)
Votes to keep ionia 32 in:
2
(Disputed: 1) :ha:
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. ;)

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.

If this involved people I'd call it obsessive, but anyhow.... ;)

This place is great, but I'll still miss the VBB...

That's true, at least not much. But for that matter, I haven't been here for long, so I can't know will I miss it after some days or weeks. ;) Better place this is, however. ;)
But it's still bad thing VBB goes down... [glow=green][glow=red]:headz: :snipe:[/glow][/glow]

It seems I'm not the only one that has to restart with no posts...

Don't sweat it. People don't care here. At least, not really.... it's what you post, not how many you have.

I value mine a little, but just ask Styxx about content

Has it gone now? I don't seem to be able to get it up.
-
Seems like its gone.....:( :( :( :( :( :(
-
Here starts the countdown to the end of multi. :(
-
It seems, and I wasn't able to save the last words :(
-
I'm dlding at the mo. I think a few errors came through though. I will leave it on overnight. around 50meg at the mo. :(

If you get the forum data please send it to [email protected] somehow.... :)

It's true. There is also no such thing as a 'newbie' here; everyone commands (and, in some cases, demands) as much respect as anyone else, whether you've been here a day or a month or a year.
Welcome to HLP, guys; it's a whole new ballgame. ;)

Can do no worries if you tell me how to do that. It's around 150megs in total. A few errors were flagged, not sure why exactly. But i tried a few pages and it seems okay.
-
It went down again. :( I think it's really gone this time.

That's all, folks.

*sniff*
All gone.
And ionia23, please don't be so contemptous in the future. On behalf of a greatful HLP, thank you.
-
Yeah, I'll miss the vbb, sure, but the layout for HLP is just amazing. A much more powerful messagebase interface.
-
But the flamewars were so absolutely HILARIOUS (before they eventually got really irritating)! My highlight some days was just watching Zylon rip into some trolls like Alpha One. "Don't feed the troll!"
I know there's none of that here, which is definitely a good thing. Already it seems like a great place for Freespace. Now if only there was a new Fred forum....

Yeah, ZylonBane was definately good against trolls. ;)

Of course he was. Do you know anyone else who attained the level of "I Sold My Soul to Volition?"
-
One thing is for sure, a lot of VBB refugees have arrived in the last couple of days.
Welcome to all of them
