:lol: at the render. Even though n00bie rush is actually a good thing, as it proves the forum has vitality and isn't just a circle-jerk of grumpy old men who've "seen it all, boy,"

I don't remember it all that clearly, but it was a long and incoherent ramble which began roughly like
"D**** KAZAN M*** YOU A LOSER AND ARROGANT PRICK".
Then it went downwards from there. I believe the poster had some really good point. He apparently went in for constructive criticism.

But VBB was good, now we have VWBB [dead] and this [small]. :(
lol wtf

 
idea: make a picture with a SCP'd ship and a few retail escape pods and transports like the one at the top of the page.

Orange never went in for constructive criticism - after the first time he argued with me and got owned really bad he just started acting like a ten year old


which could also be said about a certain volition employee who i've given up trying to be nice to - i think i very publically embarassed him, especially when i pointed out the arguments to a professor

LOL I love this place, only on HLP could someone post a picture for the anniversary of the death of the VBB and have people have as much to say about how the render should have been done as the subject itself.

HLP, there's no place like it :D

I had already jumped ship to HLP well before that point. BTW, anyone have the Volition Bible floating around? Wouldn't mind reading that again....

I spotted this while searching the Wayback Machine Steak posted,

'Blackwater Ops Canceled!!!!!! ' Posted by daedauls1224  (04-01-2001)

At the time people would have probably thought, yeah whatever, seeing BWO now makes you think what we could have missed out on, a 5 star campaign :D
