None of you were around to see the early days ya youngins!  You know nothing about what happened before :D


ahem, I was in the VBB since... since... before a lot of you :p

Missing people: I think all fan fiction writers should be mentioned - they gave FS a great deal more character detail. I don't remember who wrote Beyond Laramis, but I enjoyed that fan fic and think he should be on there :p

Also, all the diligent Squadwar supporters :)
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

But I can guarantee that people like WildWolf, Plasma, and Dark beat you to it.  Especially since we registered on the board before it was public :D

Ahhh the good old days. When the user count was under 100 :) (didn't last long tho!) and I was still in High School! :)

Yeah....there's alot of people who were responsible for things that still exist in a manner of speaking today.

Xanadu created the most successful FS Mission Database (today its the VW Archives, pretty much derivative but enhanced from before).  The whole Review system that was so popular for a while was created by a guy called Dravis Covel.  That same system encouraged a certain mission reviewer/designer to get into Derelict and create a very memorable campaign (yes, thats Kellan...with Agatheron's help).  Ground FreeSpace, Ross 128, and countless other sites died...but on their ashes stands HLP and FreeSpace Watch (FSW was once Planet FreeSpace/Descent Chronicals, and previous to that, FreeSpace Command/GTA Command).  Plasma wrote one of the best FS inspired stories around...and IceWolf put together the largest volume of FS stories around.  WildWolf now works for Volition, I'm still here.  Dark pioneered (as I said) the model creation thing...putting togehter the first fully functional fighter MOD (the ship that Venom so loves).  Ace created some very short but very intense and high quality campaigns.

Dang...there' so many to mention.  Can't possibly remember all of it :)

It was a good run...it continues to be.  With many of the same people still here.  Years later!

He's about my age........... which in my case means beginning to feel old.  Of course, i work with a bunch of 18 year olds at a supermarket, so i AM old.  I think.  Me memory tends to go ,you  know.   Aaar.

Blah, BL's hideous dialogue and rediculous plot points (some of them, anyway), will keep it off any list of good things. Thx anyway though ;)
