The history of the VBB goes something like this. It’s a beloved hometown that you’ve lived in since you were born. Then, one day, a giant, evil megacorp run by a bunch of Morons who literally think they know more than you (but never aptly demonstrate this
) comes into this town and basically takes it over, destroying the old way of life, the culture, the very community
that held it together. To add insult to injury, the new owners of this desecrated town make sure to rub these facts in the faces of the original residents everyday. They then proceed to mock just about everything and everyone that remains, peeing on old customs and flaming down each other.
Kinda like what happened in Afghanistan. The moment the admins pulled out, everybody sorta just turned on everybody. A savage, wild pack of scavangers picking at the emaciated body of the VBB.
Still, as everyone said, HLP remains a haven for those who want justice in FreeSpace discussions and don't want to worry about flame wars and that kind of nonsense. Unlike on the VBB, we can take comfort in a sense of security here.
