[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.

	http://consumerist.com/2011/09/it-took-four-appointments-and-a-call-to-the-police-to-get-my-time-warner-cable-internet-installed.html Guy in New York tries to get Turner Cable. 3 times already they failed to show up or had some other silly excuse. On the 4th try the cable guy says he can't install the cable because of the fence. The customer says the fence wasn't an issue before. And apparently the cable installer got extremely defensive and very argumentative. Refuses to install the cable, but also refuses to leave. Instead he calls his supervisor to come over and prove he's right. While the customer calls the police to get the wacko out of his house. In the end the customer got an apology (maybe some free stuff too) and his cable miraculously installed despite the fence. http://consumerist.com/2011/09/comcast-installer-arrested-for-exposing-playing-with-his-cable-in-front-of-customer.html Despite the antics of the Turner Cable installer. This Comcast installer is proof positive that it can always get worse. This installer comes into a ladies home and starts touching himself. She looks away and then looks back and he's got his "cable" out, stroking it, while staring at her with a grin on his face. Dude, that ONLY works in pornos. Holy crap, that's just beyond creepy. -----signature----- (none)

	You really have to wonder about the general intelligence and sanity level of people these days. Once the client told the cable guy to leave that should have been that pretty much instantly, how the cable guy doesn't know this is amazing. And the other guy, well that is just pretty much full on retard by hormones. -----signature----- (none)

	wow those are really some of the more peculiar ways that monopolies end up being bad for consumers. why can't cable be like coffee. Even if it's overpriced there's about 10 million places to get it.. from big chains to regional to ma and pa to wholesalers and discounters. -----signature----- Vyxar Master Eldritch Shadow Legacy 12,11,11,11,10,10,10,9,8,7,7,7,6,6,6,6,5 etc...

	I had a female cable installer hit on me when I moved into my last apartment. I banged it a few days later. -----signature----- http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fox%20News
