[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.

	Startup Millenniata partnered with Hitachi LG to create a new optical disc that is suppose to last forever. It's call M-Disc and will intially come in a DVD compatiable format, holding 4.7GB of storage, and can be read with existing DVD players. M-Disc and M-Disc recording drives are coming in October. They don't mention how much the recorder will cost, but each disc will cost $3. A regular DVD-R costs about 20 cents. So forever is expensive. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9218881/Start_up_to_release_stone_like_optical_disc_that_lasts_forever -----signature----- (none)

	I used to backup to DVDs. However I started noticing after a few years they started becoming difficult to read. Now I just keep buying hard drives in pairs and mirroring them. -----signature----- (none)
