[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.

	What was the inspiration behind this technology? Where do the weeds go when you blow them? If you were writing a training manual for weed blowing what point(s) would you highlight? Would you rather be unemployed or operate one of these? I predict if someone could make a quiet weed blower they would earn untold riches. You cant smoke, but you can blow crap everywhere. Do people use weed blowers in the country or is this an urban experience? -----signature----- "What is here is there. What is not here is nowhere." Vishvasara Tantra "Ever tried, Ever Failed.

	I hate these and completely support municipal ordinances to ban them, at least from residentially zoned areas. The constitution doesn't require me to put up with your noise and pollution on my private property. -----signature----- (none)

They just blow all the crap down the storm drains anyhow -----signature----- Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity The only thing in life achieved without effort is failure Time Circuits...

If you have a 50 acre farm out in the country and wanna blow your leaves around be my guest. If you're blowing your leaves onto the sidewalk in front of my house at 8:00AM in the morning waking me up, yes, I have no problem with the gubmint telling you you can't do that. Noise is a kind of pollution. You don't have some god-given right to make as much noise as you want whenever you want regardless of the consequences for anyone else. -----signature----- (none)

	People using weedblowers really early in the morning are just as annoying and bad as people who party with loud music on late at night -----signature----- Only those who dare to fail greatly, can ever achieve greatly In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity The only thing in life achieved without effort is failure Time Circuits...

Noise is a kind of pollution. You don't have some god-given right to make as much noise as you want whenever you want regardless of the consequences for anyone else. Most towns have noise statutes that say you can't make more than X amount of noise before Y hour in the morning or after Z hour at night. In a town I grew up in, the limit was nothing louder than a properly muffled car before 7 am on weekends or after 11pm. They used this statute to go after Harley riders and make them actually obey the muffler laws lol. -----signature----- If ignorance were painful, half the posters here would be on morphine drips.
