Title: The Return of VasC
Post by: Vasudan Commander on November 14, 2013, 03:05:41 am
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, your neighbourhood head-eater has come back.  :pimp:


No, I'm not here to annoy or stir up trouble. I know the GM's and Administrators of this board are incredibly severe (that's putting it mildly, and that is merely my view - and if you ban me for just saying that alone, you're proving you're far worse than even that) - so I'm just here to discuss Freespace and offer my voice acting talent to anyone who might like it.

Peace.

There's nothing like returning to a forum with a snark comment towards the moderators! :D

Welcome back.

Thanks boyos. I see the moderators still love to....moderate. Lolololo.


So BWO STILL ain't done? Ah well. And now the game needs to be bought legally? I'm confused. How can a game go from being free lisence to public to being back to legally sold ?!? What, did some geezer from Volition smuggle the rights for Freespace out of the building as it burned down around him intent on making money off it one day? The game is 14 years old ffs. Seriously. So much rage. IMO the HLP community did more work on the game than the actual company did!


But nuff bout my angstiness. If you guys need a voice actor shoot me a pm. Or alternatively, troll goober for being named after a jelly spread. That would let me know you need a voice actor, and also make me laugh.

FS was abandonware - the HOTU version was really the only way to get it aside from $100 copies on ebay, so downloading it wasn't costing [V] or Interplay any sales. Now that it's available on GOG, and GOG are awesome people who should be supported, pirating FS is less acceptable.

Post some VA samples here (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=80659.0)! BP could use good voice actors. Also, play BP, it's awesome.

Huh, I've been told I'm pretty relaxed the times I've stepped in...

LOL - I am not sure what is funnier - the fact you're trolling him now, or the fact that when I did it years ago, I got banned for it.

Well, perhaps it's not trolling. :rolleyes:
Anyways I'm not telling you where because I have a feeling I know why you got banned

It wasn't merely trolling.  It was a violation of the forum TOS, and you even agreed at the time that it was justified.  I see you have a selective memory. :p

Incidentally, the original term of copyright in the United States was 14 years, renewable once.  FreeSpace could have become public domain by now.

Show me a forum that allows necroing and I'll uncover an occultist plot.

Well, obviously, since Vasudan Commander doesn't remember why he was banned, then he has a good chance of making the same mistake twice.  So it should only be a matter of time.  And if he does it again, this thread is a good argument for making the ban permanent. :p

Well, folks at Bohemia Interactive forums (ArmA series, Take On Helicopters, among others), for instance, would rather have you use their (crappier than HLP's, if that's possible) forum search and dig up a 100-year old thread about whatever you wanted to discuss, under a completely nonindicative name (personal experience!) rather than just start a new one. If you ever think HLP mods are bad, go to BI Studio forums and try posting anything. Oh, and watch yourself, their active mods are mostly from "USMC NCO" school of moderating.

Lots of inactive forums allow thread-necroing just because they don't want to discourage any kind of posting.
