No offence but the VBB was just so much fun...

*sigh*

What really gets to me is that they still havn't taken down that link to it on all their pages =\

I guess I'm just venting, sorry...

I don`t miss most of the VBB. There were a lot of pointless flames/trolls on that board.

I DO miss the Fred forum though. That place was nice and quiet except for real questions about Fred.

I`ve never understood this. Why is it that it's people from the USA who have really dreadful grammer? :confused:

There are tonnes of people who don`t speak english as their first language who write much more easily understood comments.

Because the Americans (Canadians don't... because we are just better :rolleyes: ), like to abuse their language, just because they think everyone can figure it out. They are lazy, and don't wish to look up words they do not know, or check structural grammatical integrity.

no offence to anyone of course :)

You must admit the Fred forum was the only place left worth posting, i know there would be a flame from time to time but it was never as bad as the General FS forum.

It was really fun to read though. Nothing like a couple pages of flames to start off the day. :D

I'm not that bad. :p But most people I know are. :D Probably because the public education system here is completely worthless.

I wasn`t saying that all people from the USA have bad grammer. Just that the people on forums like this one who do are almost always from the USA. Never the UK or australia or any other English speaking country.

Most of the Americans here take their time and post structurally sound sentences and paragraphs too.  Its demographics.

I won't miss the VBB on bit...except that it kept alot of the nasty stuff away from things here.  What I love about this forum is the intelligence and integrity of most of the people around here.

Hey, I went to public schools and I think my grammar is alright

*tests grammar*

 Yea, it works

 Anyway, I miss the VBB, mainly the *dramatic music* SW forum! Not so much the flames, which I hated, but seeing all my buddies that I missed on PXO that day or whatever. No matter what anyone says, the bulk of the SW guys were cool and good friends, we just lost our place to hang out as most didn't make the jump to HLP :(

Ahh, FRED2 forum, ye shall be missed.

I never could figure out why the spammers mostly left us alone. Not that I'm complaining. The mind of a spammer (as such) is an inscrutable thing.

I was speeking mostly of the year 2000. Oh there were trolls and such but it was fun danm it.

Not sure if I had a bad 'rep' or not but getting into debaits with RJM Mal Vert or anyone from LOA was always worth my time.
