[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.

	That depends how you want to define great. If you are concerned with the literal quality of the narrative, structure, etc. and want to compare it favorably to the all time great authors of literature then I think he falls vastly short of the mark. However, if you are looking at other things like appeal, lasting appeal, quantity, etc. then perhaps he is. He is an all time great author in the same way J. K. Rowlings would be if she continued to write stuff similar to and as popular as Harry Potter. -----signature----- If I have burnt my bridges I will walk on water.

	He restructured his media. That's noteworthy. Yoss should diaf for comparing anyone to JK Rowling. -----signature----- "Goddammit, Swearengen, I don't trust you as far as I could th'ow you, but I enjoy the way you lie." I don't typo often, but when I do, I blame Swype.

	No way. He is a hack who stole from his artists and writers and took the credit from them. -----signature----- I keep my eyes fixed on the sun! A change in feeling is a change in destiny.
