[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.

	Bashiok posted: Wednesday, June 8, is World IPv6 Day, a day when companies and individuals around the world will be working to test their IPv6 support. Blizzard is getting involved, and so can you! Beginning on June 8, players on the below realms will be able to connect to the game using IPv6. This isn?t a straightforward task and ? while not extremely difficult ? does involve research to ensure each component of your internet connection supports IPv6, as well as editing a game file with a text editor. While we?d love to have everyone participate, we don?t recommend taking part unless you?re already comfortable with technical aspects of your computer hardware, software, and World of Warcraft. If you aren?t comfortable tackling the task, or run into a snag while trying, don?t worry, we?ll get plenty of testing and you have our thanks for just making yourself more aware of IPv6. If you?d like to know how to get started, or would like more information on what it?s all about, check out our IPv6 page and FAQ here: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&tag=ipv6day The realms that will support IPv6 on June 8 are: Antonidas Anub'arak Blackwater Raiders Bladefist Borean Tundra Cairne Cenarion Circle Cenarius Darrowmere Drak'Tharon Drenden Echo Isles Farstriders Fenris Garrosh Hydraxis Hyjal Korialstrasz Lightbringer Maiev Misha Mok'Nathal Moon Guard Nazgrel Nesingwary Nodrassil Quel'dorei Ravenholdt Rivendare Shandris Shu'halo Sisters of Elune The Forgotten Coast Tortheldrin Uther Vashj Winterhoof Wyrmrest Accord Posted from WoW Vault -----signature----- (none)

	PallyDog posted: Oh yeah...what the heck is IPv6? IPv6 is the next-generation protocol for driving the Internet. IPv4, which has long been used for these identifiers, consists of four individual octets (e.g. 192.168.0.1 or 255.255.255.255). There are only so many combinations possible in this format -- and while that number is roughly 4.2 billion, the world has run out of IPv4 addresses. While there are workarounds and various ways to continue to work with the existing protocol, IPv6 provides a much better long-term solution, as it expands IPs to a much larger number (340 undecillion possible combinations). :P (from the FAQ) -----signature----- I, on the other hand, prefer a command-line system 'cause i'm so hardcore /north /north You encounter an [Avatar of the god Set]! /cast sheild sheild spell unavailable /csat shield csat: unknown command [Avatar of Set] beheads [Peasant]

	It's been interesting to see today how many companies thought they were ready today, but are not. -----signature----- Mirkwood MUD, OneEye IvoryFang, Lord of the VampireZ (Retired) AC Frostfell, Clan Z - Lvl 239 Grief Dagger (Retired) WoW Lightbringer Alliance, Z Guild - Lvl 85 Combat Rogue (Retired) Making iOS Apps these days at http://zsprawl.com/iOS
