Nah, it's just that the people who act like jerks over there tweak their demented behavior and Monkey attitude when they visit here.

The sad thing is, that the VBB did used to be moderated. The devs were around talking to us and everything, and we made new discoveries and had sane, intelligent discussions. Not anymore - they're all too busy RF and Summonering.

Lost interest? We could take over those boards and ask them questions and stuff...[ rubs hands together]

[Carl]

we've tried asking them questions , but they don't respond. the next time anyone interviews a V guy, ask them why they can't take 5 mintues to delete stupid topics will ya?

[Stryke 9]

Because then the board would be empty.

Mostly because, like it or not, FS has died.  Why would the developers care when they have new programs and settings like summoner and Red Faction to work with.

I used to think of that as a possibility, but then we opened up HLP! And look at how this place is flourishing. VW is still going strong, too.

FS died?! It may have aged yes, but it's not yet dead. the Babylon Mod prooves decisively that FS is still alive and kicking.

The VBB on the other hand... Send it to Kabul to get bombed. Once it's cleansed this way it can return

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.

Well I guess thats it for that town
but its more like a nuclear test corp full of incompitant idouts running it carelessly but its so small atfirst that you harldy notice it untill they do something big but after a while it all simmers down and is forgoten and it happends a few times untill something ereversable happends and...

I'm still there, but mostly on the RF and FRED2 forums. The FS forum has mostly, but not entirely, turned into a personal playground for Newbies.

[Dr.Zer0]

You know I pridected it all
It was first the RF forum and then I pridected that it might spread to the FS forum, I hoped it wouldent but after a few newbies came it started to all begin
I think it was all becuase of RF and since it was bigger than FS they all went to the   site and found the forum went to the RF bored then saw the FS forum and saw how meny posts it had and thought it was good for newbies and flames and...

You likely did, but since little of what you say makes any sense or has any meaning, nobody could understand you. It's tough being an inarticulate prophet.

My point exactly. My vocabulary-challenged compatriot, I fully comprehend that you are not a newbie, but rather among the elder members of the game. However, that would appear to have little or nothing to do with speech patterns or the propensity for fortelling the distant future.

 

And yes, I'm extremely bored over here.
