[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.

	I found a New York Public Transit coin (Good for one fare!) from like 50 years ago...i wonder what they'd say if i came to USA and tried to pay with that? -----signature----- [image=http://skender.be/supportdenmark/SupportDenmarkSmall2EN.png]

	Nope, they're cards now and the turnstiles all say NO TOKENS Probably still worth something though, or will in 50 years. -----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.

	Who knows, maybe you can trade it in at a kiosk. -----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.

	Collectable perhaps, I miss the coins out of nostalgia but using a metro-card is admittedly a world more convenient. -----signature----- (none)
