HLP!? That place is still around? You must jest!

No.....wait......wait a minute.......omg it's still here!!!

Also, according to my profile, I've been registered here longer than I've even been alive. *spooky*

Happy BDAY everybody!

special shoutout to the old VWBB cru

[Lorric]

That is a very belated birthday.

But, better late than never!

[InsaneBaron]

And it's still pulling in new members too. I joined less than a year ago... in fact I didn't even own FreeSpace till last spring.

Wow.

Yeah, pretty much the same for me. I mean, I was given the Sim of the Year edition, and then I started to play it. I thought, wow. Then I found HLP. Thanks for the mods, the laughs, and the hilarious threads. Even when the first mod I try is Blue Planet: AoA, I love this place. Note; don't try BP for a first mod, it's a bit of a pain to get to work when you're new.

[General Battuta]

We have an installer now, it's a lot simpler.

[Husker]

Oh, cool. Has it been redone to be compatible for the new 2014 Media VPs? Or are y'all waiting for the Erebus?

[Phantom Hoover]

I think they're preparing for the release of act 4 now, but that could still take a good while to be finished.

[Xenon]

Hard to believe it's been 13 years since we started this place. I wonder how many of the old VBB peeps are still around.

[General Battuta]

A few of us

[Goober5000]

Xenon too?  Everybody's crawling out of the woodwork lately.

I don't suppose you have any of the missions left over from Xanadu's Mission Archives, do you?

[Xenon]

Oh gosh, I don't even know.  If I did, it would be on one of my old, old backups stored away somewhere.  I thought most of them made their way onto the Volitionwatch archives site though.

[Blue Lion]

Surely it hasn't been that long.

[Lorric]

Who are you, Xenon? Such an old registration date, so few posts, and an admin. Intriguing.

I've actually wanted to ask that for well over a decade myself, but he disappeared before I had the chance. I've always had my suspicions, but... Xenon, were you registered for the VBB (or was it VWBB?) as ZylonBane?

[yuezhi]

Could someone possibly remember their password after that long an absence?

[Sandwich]

Errr... the forums do have a "Reset Password" thing, you know...

[karajorma]

ZylonBane had his own account. Xenon's got a few posts in the administration forum from before you even registered. I remember him (vaguely) from the VBB but it's only really cause I have a habit of reading the oldest 2-3 posts in any forum I get access to later on that I know who he is.

[Ulala]

VBB REP-RE-SENT y'all! 

Good to see so many old faces stopping in, some I recognize and some I don't. While I'm primarily a lurker, it doesn't make me any less thankful for all HLP and its members have done for one of my favorite games of all time. 

[CP5670]

I was around on the VBB for years and don't think I have ever seen you either. Looking at your handful of old posts here, this cracked me up:

Our priority is to avoid the kind of rubbish that pervades the VBB.  We'll be accommodating, but if Hemaroid Frog Butt shows up, I will personally ban him on sight.

Anyone else remember that guy?

[Sandwich]

ZylonBane had his own account.

Here, on HLP? Huh... learn something new every day.

Anyone else remember that guy?

Oh yes. He lived up to his name quite well. I always suspected he became Stryke9 or an0n...
