As of 11:37 cst, the VBB was officially shut down. The board is no longer accessable. I didn't even make it to 3000. I think I was 3 or 4 posts away.

On April 12, 2002 at 10:00 AM, the Volition Bulletin Board was offically closed. the last post was made by SS-Blue Lion.

Yep, all good things come to an end. She was a fine forum - now we forge our own community. Let's think of this as a beginning.

[Setekh]

Ouch. Well, thus ends an era.

I'd better go and merge these threads...

[Fineus]

Ok - stick them as well if you get the chance dude, get the news out to people as quickly as possible so there's no confusion.

[wEvil]

And if anyone needs counselling.....

dont talk to stryke or anon.

[Blue Lion]

Happy and sad at the same time, *sigh* oh well, I really feel for the other games on the VBB who don't have an HLP of their own, least I was there for the end

[Styxx]

Oh, well. You won't see any tears coming from my eyes...

You dont have any eyes.  The tequila rotted them away years ago!

Ah, and freespace2.com is down, indeed.

[Fafner]

So some Volition-dude showed up in that last thread. Who was it, and what did he/they say? (apart from whats visible in that gif).

[Fineus]

That guy is Todd Miller, AKA WildWolf. He works as Volitions head web dude and previously occupied a space on Volition Watches staff before Volition themselves hired him.

[Styxx]

Not that he'll have much of a work now, that the VBB and Freespace 2 sites are down, and the Volition website hasn't been actually updated (except for the scripted news) for ages...
