Goodbye, VBB. Time for me to head back to HLP and Warpstorm, which I've been largely absent from since I uninstalled FS2 about 4 months ago.

Yeah, the VBB sure was fun...at least while it lasted.

It's a shame that such a place could go to ruin by the deeds of such few.

-sigh-

Ah, scheisse!! Okay okay...ns33 go read the thread [url=http://www.volitionwatch.com/vwbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5839]Hey, my account here still works[/url]. Maybe I was mistaken (and it happens often). Okay, I'm blanking out my previous post before I piss someone off.

I am publicly stating here and now that if a TaS thread is started I will own it the instant I see it, no questions asked.

Thank you.

Gib nicht auf !
Da muss ich sagen, es wirkt noch ! Und muss ich zugeben, ich habe hier viel Stunden verbracht und bedausre keine kleinste Minute.

So, saying to all: It still works ?
No matter.
Glad of writing here.

wht can be added?
FS 2 is always ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!

( nota bene btw, I know some guys still playing Diablo or even Warcraft II, so I think i`ll not give up with FS 2 too early ) .

Yep, I know. I'm a sad bugger.................
