Personally I think :V: gave up on FS awhile back.  This is just their way of trying to shut us up.  Of course they can't do anything about HLP or other non-official sites.

Or at least it's not worth their efforts to go after 'fan sites'.

But I would keep an eye on the member count and not be surprised when it starts jumping dramatically.

VBB closed and FSers coming here= :)
Influx of trolls and demise of THQ =  :(

That release schedule is.. is... :eek: I wish EA would buy Volition. THEY have good stuff. I mean, look at what Maxis has done with The Sims. FIVE expansion packs, and the game is still going for $50! The moral is, find something good and stick with it.

Idea for moderation: probation period! Maybe a week after you register, you can't post, only lurk. Maybe give them an idea of what the environment is like before they get the opportunity to spam.

perhaps we should make an RF forum for the more mature RF community members :)

No way in hell am I, as an admin, going to condone a waiting period.  When I go to a forum I expect to be able to post right away, and having to wait a week is counterproductive towards gaining new members.  So no.

We thought about it, but GS didn't like the idea, because we'd be directly competing with the Red Faction site here.  You can talk about it unofficially all you want though....

This is so sad, stupid, hopeless that it's not even funny, even I can't find the humor to laugh... :(

I hope that V continues makin' good games, but I believe their story has now been cut, ripped and burned out of the book. And to think I have THQ stocks... :sigh:

Well anyway, I'll go into mourning (perfect, because I wear almost all black anyway) and later maybe design a shrine to the VBB - on the net. (this'll be my latest project)

Later.

Well, as I said over at the VBB, "I was expecting this at some point given THQ's track record; with this latest move, they definitely rank among the worst game publishers I have ever seen."

:p

HLP still stands as the "shining beacon of light" for the Freespace games and community though; FS2 shall live on at a new location. ;)

I guess THQ didn't like me making their GAME SCH PUBLIC!

Brittney Spears Dancing for PC? WTF ? LMAO


That's THQ for you. :p:D

How much of THIS is a lie?

http://www.thq.com/About/PressReleases/press-412.asp

I'm guessing 90% as far as lines like :
"THQ has consistently demonstrated a commitment to quality entertainment and growth,” stated David Bollesen, general manager, Cranky Pants Games.

Looks like its up to the fans...

hey!!! I've got an idea!!! Why don't we hold :V: up at gunpoint, and take the source from them!! Then, post it here or on a webpage before you go to jail!!!!

The anti-video game activists would have a field day, but it would be worth it...
