[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	This is why I have a bookmark to the College Football section of their site, I haven't had to see the front page in years. I have however had to deal with all the "Big Ten sucks" BS that they have on that page. -----signature----- 27 years of life, 20 years of gaming...

	This is a world class event, and deserves all the attention that it gets. I am not a huge fan of soccer, but you have to admit, the world cup is in a league of its own. I was honestly thinking the other day that ESPN was not paying enough attention to this world cup, especially after USA was eliminated. Also the Vuvuzula are awesome, please allow these in the NFL! -----signature----- Basur - 50 Jedi Shadow - Alduras - 30 Jedi Knight - Infinite Empire Brienna - 50 Sith Sorc - The Crucible Pits Kansas University Class of 2013! 2008 National Champions!! 2008 Orange Bowl Champions!!

	I definitely see your point, but you have to remember, ESPN is a international website, and channel. Not just America and Americans watch ESPN, and definitely more than Americans go to ESPN.com. On a world level the world cup is the premier event. It is the same way with the Olympics, I could careless about them, but I reconize their importance so I tolerate all the attention they get. -----signature----- Basur - 50 Jedi Shadow - Alduras - 30 Jedi Knight - Infinite Empire Brienna - 50 Sith Sorc - The Crucible Pits Kansas University Class of 2013! 2008 National Champions!! 2008 Orange Bowl Champions!!

	I'm pretty sure NFL fans wouldn't tolerate those stupid horns and if people tried they'd have the snot beaten out of them before the 1st quarter was even half done -----signature----- R.I.P.

	I can see some Patriots fan in a Tom Brady jersey walking out of the stadium with his vuvuzula stuck where the sun doesn't shine, now tell me, who wouldn't want to see that? -----signature----- Basur - 50 Jedi Shadow - Alduras - 30 Jedi Knight - Infinite Empire Brienna - 50 Sith Sorc - The Crucible Pits Kansas University Class of 2013! 2008 National Champions!! 2008 Orange Bowl Champions!!
