I never got to really see it but I have read about it.

Does anyone have archived flamewars or any of the nasty exchanges that hallmarked the VBB's final days? They would make interesting reading.

I believe that the Infamous ZylonBane archived some of the more important and useful threads, and was himself responsible for many flamings.

:remembers the VBBQ, and the VBB hammer of justice, which was made into a secondary weapon minimod.....:

Why the heck do you want to read about flamewars. If you asked me those should not be archived. Flamewars are sick. Actually when I was on VBB, I didn't even know about: You will get flamed if you mention FS3. I got the Internet back then for the first time and I got FS2 only 2 weeks before I went to VBB (which was in May 2001)

flamewars is what happens when noobs don't bother to read a couple of posts before they join up. not doing so is retarded, and you should be flamed for it ;)

Hehe. I remember being a n00b.

I think my first thread, true to form (but maintaining originality), was a "Let's make our own FS3" thread.

And, *coughs and points to the SCP in a 'told-ya-so' kind of way*.

Ya told us nuthin'. If it's not from V, it ain't FS3.

Anyway, what happened in the last VBB thread that was so bad it got deleted?

Well yeah but people get also flamed because they ask something which they didn't even know about before and then people start spending about 5 minutes thinking on how to flame them instead of giving them a straight answer to the question.

I still have a whole page of threads from the VBB a few days before death... I can upload it if ya like (and I find the time :p)

I lurked at the VBB on a few occations for a few months at a time as my interest in FS would come and go.  I favourably remember the 'dead frozen goat of justice' clipping wrong doers under the chin with it's razor hooves a number of times.  But who the heck was it who used that anyway?

To tell you the truth, I never was flamed. I gues I was just lucky in reading a few posts before almost making the fatal mistake in typing a thread called "When is fs3 coming out?"....:sigh: I'm coming out of the closet now. I mostly lurked around the Modding forum, trying to get people to join my Space: Above and Beyond mod. I remember even getting a invitation from HLP for them to host me! :D But no one seemed interested. The only thing I got was two models. One of the hammerhead fighter and the other of the Prototype chiggie fighter. Then I decided to see if anyone was interested in making a freespace movie. Some were interested, but most thought it a bad idea. Then I came over here, posted about it, and stayed ever since. Thats my true oddessy here. The true main reason was to keep away from the flame wars that were just starting. I mean people were attacking EVERYONE! I was a afraid. Afraid of ZylonBane! I knew it would be only a matter of time until he found me and flamed me, so I escaped! ;)
I have returned... Again...

Ah, the good ol' VBB days...

And be sure to read TaS. Someone around here has the link. (I actually read about 20 pages of that before my brain went numb)

Jeez you guys, talk about being helpful! :rolleyes: Not even one measly link!

Here's the latest (I think) archive of the VBB before closure: http://web.archive.org/web/20020205082928/vbb.volition-inc.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi

And here you can get to the various archives of the main Volition homepage and follow the link to the forums from there, perhaps there are different pages available from earlier versions.

"...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
