I'm not sure why he is on here. All I remember about him is that he didn't like mods for some reason and used to troll in many mod threads on the VBB, by just posting "read it and weep" with a reference to something in his signature. :p

I love how I've been on this forum for 3 years, and I'm considered a noob.  :lol:

Guess it just goes to show how long people have been on here.

The same guy had made a couple of others, but I don't have them.

I feel sad because I get this when trying to submit my vote:




I know of a bunch of the items, but most of it was before I knew about this place (or those places, as the case may be).

I only know the Serious Sandwich, and that's cause I clicked the link in his title.

Can someone please give us an overview of all the things listed in the poll? With links if you can get them.

Us newbies haven't experienced many of those classic moments (seems we've missed out on a lot), and some of them seem pretty interesting from the replies I've read.

Aw come on...............  :(

I only started lurking around HLP 4 years ago, so I only know of some events by reading other members' experiences. I remember Volition Watch Archives though, in fact the site is still accessible and apparently has some files hosted there. I think one of the first user-made missions/campaigns I dl'd from there and tried to get running was something called "Drunk" IIRC. Sounded funny but noob that I was (or still am) I couldn't get it working.

I think I was one or two months late to witness that DS episode, was that about 4 and a half years ago? And yet HLP lives on.

Sometimes I wonder what HLP will be like 5 years or so from now, and what state the SCP will have reached.

I briefly lurked on the VBB, went offline for 6 moths and returned to find the place shut-down. 'Think I joined HLP back in 2003-ish so I can recall most of anon's list.

Squadwar sounds a lot like Boneyards for Total Annihilation was. Multiplayer gaming just isn't the same anymore :(

I just remembered when Karajorma got 'banned' :lol:

When was he banned? Are you referring to his "Banned administrator" custom title?

It's when someone reported one of his posts.

His words were "Oi! I've had enough of you!" to himself. :lol:
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!
