ok, so it aint that bad, i never reached 200 posts on vBB, too many flame wars and not enough content.


I had 2 member names. I deleted the first one because I drived in to the newbie war and ALL started to flame me. I reached about 80 posts then. The second member name was good old ten of twelve, then I got about 60 posts. Then I found HLP. :D

It was bad when it ended, but now when people think of the VBB they'll think of the Golden Age, not the Dark Age :p
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

if some of you will continue in this way, this forum NEVER will even get the chance to only touch the sphere VBB has had :( - because here are still real FS veterans around and watching you..

Telling ones # of being banned from a BB is a great deal and is a real verification of the BB ! (NOT) - and the # of posts one did is real classification of worth, too! (NOT)

thanks for the ears - normally here I would set a smily - hmm - when checking this BB a little(?) bitterness is filling my mouth when reading the "great words" about VBB here - mostly from those who still were milk when we blew up the 1st waves of those red ships in an APOLLO or HORUS :) :(

Lol, don't worry about it, just don't post on anything that you did in the VBB, unless it was at first valid (none of that "Favorite Weapon?" crap) and you'll be fine...;)

Look, ever since about a year ago, the VBB has been going down the tube. Now the tube has ended. Period. The VBB used to be a good, worth-while board, but ever since that year ago, it's been turd. There's no "great words," to say about it, because it's been so long, most people can't even remember a "great word," about it;)

Really hate it when people dis the VBB. I've posted on both boards and I`ve had some very interesting discussions on the VBB.
 
 The simple fact is that the VBB only lacked good moderation. Take that away from here and you`d probably see the place degenerate as quickly.

Now that the VBB has gone I`m looking forwards to seeing the best of the VBB discussions  on this board with the dross trimmed out.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.

I agree. It was a great place, but it went down the tubes.
I even managed to sign up at the end of the "glory days," and so I got to see a couple of those discussions....
However, the only problem is, most of those "best discussions" that were starting out when the place shut down have alread been discussed (sometimes at length) here.
Oh, well.;)

Im sure vBB had its times, but not since the time i joined it (which was about a year ago).  Every thread turned into a flame war within 20 posts.  That is one area where HLP is most definitely superior.  And Brummel, we're not exactly new to FS2 either.

Yeah.  They're the admins.  ;)

Although IMO, just because you've played FS since it first came out doesn't automatically make you a vet in many people's eyes.  To us, a vet is someone who's put into the community.  I'm not disputing your flying talents, anyone who reaches the admiral ranks on PXO has to have clocked some serious hours.
WE ARE HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS. YOU WILL LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR KEYBOARDS. WE WILL ADD YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND VERNACULAR DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR FORUMS WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

 
Calm down Brummel.  We are all equal here.  I have no interest in number of posts either.  I have no idea how many I clocked up.  But as number of posts doesn't make you more real an FS vet, neither does how long you played it.  We all play it to 'have fun'.

We never will be able to define the parts of the FS community and we cannot and shouldn't try to compare the efforts and work we did/do for it - and the theme here shouldn't distrace in any stupid comparison - lacking from less knowledge about the other one. I think we just did our efforts in different parts of the community.

We should work on holding the communtiy alive, and so the VBB is down the discussion will be executed on other places. I wish but I don't believe that we again will have s/t like that "central meeting point" - but nevertheless we should work on it, shouldn't we? Perhaps just this BB and it's admins have to be prepared to get a storm of new members - escorted by a storm of new attitudes and intentions of those posters.

During all of the last 3 years we had several attempts to start an independed BB, moderated by members of the biggest and most experienced squads/squadleaders - and always these efforts were wasted (the only surviving BB were/are those of the big squads/orgs themselves). One of my questions is whether we should try this again - or if we should use existing BB like this, or WS?  - if so, which one?

We all should have one common aim:
If we are smart enough and if we are prepared to show this, we NOW have to do so - and only on this way the community (hey, we are meant :)  )  not only gets the chance to survive, perhaps it even can get  an improvement. WE are those who are responsible.

THis post isn't meant as an attack but it's just 1 attempt to correct our direction of power, thanks.

These sorrows in mind made me write my 1st post in this topic, perhaps I could make myself a little more clear now- probably the sound was misunderstood - my fault.

THQ. THQ ran those boards, and decided to close them. I think it was because of all that flaming. :snipe:

if it was about the flaming, then they coulda have just moderated the forums. Most likely they just didn´t bother.

That would've required too much time, they said (I think). And check this thread, or directly this and this thread. ;)
