[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.

	previously they were not this bad. Yes, the grammar always sucked, but the one I got today was just horrid. "Greetings! Recently, the problem of account invasion is getting worse and worse which cause enormous player's equipments and virtual currency stolen. This severely damages the benefits of mass players, also causes our company lose a lot of customers. Our company has to adopt some measures to safeguard our common benefits in order to strengthen the safety of mass players'accounts, and firmly resist the account to be stolen again.Through our company's research and investigation to xxx customers,we will make the following decisions: we launch a package of updated Battle.net Mobile Authenticator and dynamic code protection card which can effectively prevent the accounts invaded. We will send this package of code protection system to players free of charge. Please open this connection: Itunes Link(which I obviously didn't include and wasn't obviously to itunes). If your account passes the check successfully, we will send this package of dynamic Battle.net Mobile Authenticator to you in the form of e-mail. In 3 days after you receiving the e-mail, if you don't submit your information, we have right to freeze your account, every player is obligated to protect the safety of the account. You must work together with us to be determined to crack down all the behaviors of destroying games. If you had already authenticator your account, please disregard this automatic notification." 1. WTH, an itunes link 2. Wouldn't they know if I had an authenticator? -----signature----- " If you cant trust a fat buddha with a slurpy in his hand, who can you trust?" - MT_Gouru

	They probably meant "I-Phone"...referring to the mobile authenticator...and just screwed up the translation. -----signature----- Guttersludge People just can't handle the truth.
