I guess I'm just venting, sorry...

The glory days where fun but the year off hell wasn't fun.
I hope you ment the glory days, otherwise you found the spam fun.
I like this BB much better then the VBB. You can actualy learn something here.

I don`t miss most of the VBB. There were a lot of pointless flames/trolls on that board.
I DO miss the Fred forum though. That place was nice and quiet except for real questions about Fred.

I`ve never understood this. Why is it that it's people from the USA who have really dreadful grammer? :confused:
There are tonnes of people who don`t speak english as their first language who write much more easily understood comments.

Because the Americans (Canadians don't... because we are just better :rolleyes: ), like to abuse their language, just because they think everyone can figure it out. They are lazy, and don't wish to look up words they do not know, or check structural grammatical integrity.
no offence to anyone of course :)

I am actualy glad they closed the VBB, damn what a place of crap was that. The one thing the should have kept open was the Fred forum.
-
I'm glad that they closed everything, and not just the Freespace forum.

You must admit the Fred forum was the only place left worth posting, i know there would be a flame from time to time but it was never as bad as the General FS forum.
-
It was really fun to read though. Nothing like a couple pages of flames to start off the day. :D

I'm not that bad. :p But most people I know are. :D Probably because the public education system here is completely worthless.
-
I wasn`t saying that all people from the USA have bad grammer. Just that the people on forums like this one who do are almost always from the USA. Never the UK or australia or any other English speaking country.

Most of the Americans here take their time and post structurally sound sentences and paragraphs too. Its demographics.
I won't miss the VBB on bit...except that it kept alot of the nasty stuff away from things here. What I love about this forum is the intelligence and integrity of most of the people around here.

Hey, I went to public schools and I think my grammar is alright
*tests grammar*
Yea, it works
Anyway, I miss the VBB, mainly the *dramatic music* SW forum! Not so much the flames, which I hated, but seeing all my buddies that I missed on PXO that day or whatever. No matter what anyone says, the bulk of the SW guys were cool and good friends, we just lost our place to hang out as most didn't make the jump to HLP :(
-
Ahh, FRED2 forum, ye shall be missed.
I never could figure out why the spammers mostly left us alone. Not that I'm complaining. The mind of a spammer (as such) is an inscrutable thing.
-
I was speeking mostly of the year 2000. Oh there were trolls and such but it was fun danm it.
Not sure if I had a bad 'rep' or not but getting into debaits with RJM Mal Vert or anyone from LOA was always worth my time.

alright isn't even a word :p You didn't go to Baltimore City public schools by any chance, did you, BL? ;)
For those of you outside Maryland, one of Charm City's slogans is "The City That Reads," posted at bus stops, etc. Many of them have been vandalized to such clever things as- "The city that reads at a 3rd grade level"
- "The city that breads" -- (breeds, get it, it's misspelled, haha, very witty)
(I too am a product of the public school system, and a really swell state university)
EDIT: fixed misspellings! :doh: Boy is my face red.

Most, unfortunately....:(:sigh:

Can't win all of the battles unfortunately...

LOL, the VBB is bad.
Most game forums are worse then the VBB ever was. The difference is the other game forums were moderated, VBB wasnt.
For an unmoderated board, it wasnt nearly as bad as others think.
VBB may have had its bad apples, but which site doesnt. Im sure this place has banned its fair share. Or atleast warned a few

After the glory days (and yes, I was there), all I ever saw on that forum were a bunch of whiny newbies all complaining to each other about how much they want fs3 and when it would come out, etc.
At least nobody here at the HLPBB announces the 100th post. :D
That was another thing the VBB was always full of.
At times it was just such an unpleasant place because of all the worthless threads and all the flaming.
I diddn't see much of the good times but I saw enough to understand what this is all about
Now I only come here and the VWBB exclusively.
-
I kinda enjoyed the 100th post smacking to be honest.

*sigh*
Yea the old days ruled. Sadly the closing ofthe SW Forum was kind of the first stone that tore it all down. EVERYthing went downhill from there.
Even sadder is the fact that with a very very LITTLE support from V,...FS2 and SW could have gone one to outlive many other games and make one hell of a name for itself.
I'm kinna suprised it ever lasted this long without any support.
But now ...SW itself is on barrowed time,...I mean all it takes is a few teams to lock up matches and it's done with. Hell right now a new player can't play fs2 online AT ALL because PXO never emails new accounts. No new teams are able to sign up for SW at all.
It's all just a big damned shame.
-
I agree with most of the sentiment here--although I came across the VBB near the end of its lifespan, I saw the place gradually go to hell under the constant barrage of flamers, trolls, and whiny newbies. Too bad, it was fun while it lasted.
Erase the hate, people! Can't we all just get along!? ;)
Also, I'm from the U.S. and public school educated, and i can read and write just good.

Do you know how much fun we could have if we had the power to run SW? Dammit.....Be like old times
