[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.

	http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17636640 posted: Ceremonies in Sarajevo are marking 20 years since the start of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina, a conflict that saw the worst atrocities in Europe since World War II. The conflict began in April 1992 as part of the break-up of Yugoslavia. About 100,000 people were killed and nearly half the population forced from their homes in four years of fighting. Red chairs fill the street in Sarajevo where the conflict began - 11,541, one for each victim in the city. People have been placing white flowers on some of the chairs as they walk alongside them. A teddy bear, toys and schoolbooks have been placed on some of the small chairs which symbolise children killed during the four-year long siege by Serb forces. Sarajevans were asked to stop what they were doing at 12:00 GMT for an hour to mark the start of the conflict. Time flies! -----signature----- I radiate more heat than light.

	To be fair, 90s Balkans did look a lot like 40s Russia. Maybe this is what he was thinking of http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120070/ -----signature----- "See that the men are thoroughly insulated, for we shall encounter extreme cold." - Dr. Zarkov
