Title: The Shrine - New Project of sorts.
Post by: Kamikaze on April 09, 2002, 11:15:48 pm
As I'm sure many of you had memories on the VBB whether good or bad... which was recently closed to all of you who haven't heard. This saddening event in history is a part of the grand (:p?) heritage of HLP, Volition Watch, etc.

What I plan is a big, huge tribute to Vs late forum where the whole thing started...
What I plan are:


I feel that memories should live on, and after April 12th - all of those will be gone so this is an attempt to preserve it. :nod:

If you'd like to help e-mail or PM me.

You'll have to put up Shivan Pie of course.

and TaS... ;7 :drevil:
If you have a movie, I recommend the Crimson Tide theme for it :nod:

Shivan Pie, The Real Alpha One, Neo-Hammer of Light, Terran Imperium, and all sorts of other ****.  Man, there's a batch of history behind that place.

Not like that but we should not give VBB any respect. BVV is EVIL !!!

Now now - if your going to do this at least do it properly, don't just make it a flame page that'll forever tarnish the community :o

Also - make sure you do this quickly, we've got limited time before they pull the plug, that doesn't give much time to get any info needed from the forum itself.

I'm downloading pages from the site now.
I'll make sure it's not just flames. :) It'll be various viewpoints - from the vet, the newbie, the troll... :nod:
(Anyone having TAS, RAMALADINGDONG etc. please send the files to me :nod: )

Well....... anything related to TaS I find on the server will get deleted.  Just a little warning. ;)

Just had a thought, while the board is still up and just for ****s and giggles, let's take some screen shots of the names and (if you must) post counts.  Maybe even have a copy of the entire member list.  Kind of like the Vietnam Memorial, if you will.

Now that is a render for Setekh! What do you say dude, can you render the entire VBB member list on a stone/metalic background? Perhaps in an earth setting with some FS ships flying by in a rememberance configuration (similar to the Lancaster/Spitfire combo we had for the Queen Mothers death, 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings etc...?) That'd be good :nod:

It would be a lot of work to get it all done... how many members do the VBB have?

Why not just ask :v: to back-up the forums and send you the files. You guys still have a UBB license don't ya? Tada, instant VBB rebirth at HLP.

The VBB: Cryogenically frozen... interesting idea ;)

You could even keep it running. With some active moderating it could be taken back to the 'golden days'.

Mmm... well, there you go. That confirmed some of the things I suspected.

:sigh: Everytime I see this topic, I read it as "The Shrike"...

All the images I could strip off the VBB before it closed.  Inlcuding the header for the FS and Volition BBs IIRC.
