Do any of you remember?
The golden age of the VBB:

When vets frolicked in their plentiful gardens filled with headz and bosch beer. And when young newbie wanderers were greeted with wine and praise and lucid music. When we could freely go about the broad planes of Freespace knowledge knowing no one can tarnish our wondrous Eden.

But that was then

BTW: No, the point of this thread isn't testing my writing skills; do any of you remember Payne (the FS forums) thats all I'll say for now

 Hmmm, that was still somewhat good... but that's prolly around when the forums began to rot.

But noone is getting my joke
