"...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

Back on the defunct Ross128, I went to post news about my campaign Operation: Underground's first release. Thunder posted it on HLP instead, and sent me an e-mail.  So my being here is all because of Thunder's choice of where to post the news :p

I crashed into the outer shell layer of HLP on a deep space spec. ops mission ... busted the ship permanently, a few turrets and myself... the kind peeps here rejuvenated my body, made me a funky cyborg and sent me free to rampage on the HLP boards.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

The correct way to refer to it is The Thread Graveyard™.

It's where old topics go to die, their rotting corpses guarded by the lost and forgotten from the VBB.

I found this on one of the last threads to be posted on the vbb, and came here. I usually don't post cos I usually have nothing to say.

Came here through a link on the VWatch BB looking for moding info. Been lurking for ages but with little of importance to add I haven't posted much.
