Seems like the only thing missing from HLP is a forum for us FREDders. Yeah, the FRED2 forum at the VBB is still intact, but... for how long?

I dunno.... it's never been something that we get enough traffic from, I suppose.  All that stuff tends to get posted in FS modding, anyhow.
WE ARE HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS. YOU WILL LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR KEYBOARDS. WE WILL ADD YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND VERNACULAR DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR FORUMS WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

A mission is not a mod. Look at the Modding forum... not a single FRED question on the first page.

That was just my reasoning behind it...

Yeah. In the beginning, we knew we were going to have a big emphasis on modding. But I guess ... it is probably the same reason we don't have a mission archive, either.

Well, I guess I'll keep a light on over at the VBB FRED2 forum then. Hopefully V/THQ won't order it shut down.

I hope not that THQ shut the FRED2 forum. Right now the FRED2 and Volition sections at the VBB are the only ones that are really worth to read.

Well, if it does, you can trust that we'll open up a haven for you Fredders to hang out.

But, as it is, I think the Volition FRED2 forum seems to be holding up. So this place can do without one   But if things start deteriorating... you know, just whistle, and we'll sort something out.

Besides - the modding forum probably falls under that heading... at least loosely...

Actually, that's something that I appreciated about the VBB - their FRED forum. Filtering out all the "How do I fir beams?" topics left quite a few nice informational topic.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
