Check Volition's news page... apparently Volition doesn't consider the summary execution of the VBB to be newsworthy. Sheesh.

Well being there's still a LINK to the VBB...I'd say no don't expect the V site to get an update soon.

He was most likely fired, or assimilated into another job at THQ

It's not. Since we all knew it was coming, where's the news? Who cares if the VBB closed. All anyone here ever did was whinge and pule about it.

Why is this an issue?

Still, most of those old infamus topics have been deleted and not much was left :blah:

Step back a moment, reread this, and attempt to grasp what's wrong with it.

Oh nevermind, I'll explain-- By your mallogic, no news outlet should cover anything that people already know is going to happen. Sporting events, award shows, elections, cosmological events... nada. After all, "we all knew it was coming, where's the news?".  :rolleyes:

Most game developers don't update their sites very often, but this is just pathetic. :p

Because it is the Volition Bulletin Board is run by Volition and the closing of said board should be noted on their site?  It's news, no matter if you consider it news or not.

Hmmmm, I always thought the reason they closed down the VBB was because they stopped caring.  In all honesty, it really wasn't much more than redundant topics that had been covered fifty quintillion times and complaints about V.
-Stop clouding the issue with facts!
-It's the post quality that counts, not quantity.  I am a spammer, dammit!
-Deliberately annoying since 1985.

That's what he's doing. Also, all the THQ naysayers should have a look in here, Daveb makes mention of the anti THQ sentiment that's been brewing.
