[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.

	Nook Tablet's update disabled the ability to side load applications. Sounds like even if you are rooted, if you get the update, your side loading day are ended unless you revert back to firmware 1.40 or use a custom ROM. http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/nook-tablet-update-closes-sideloading-loophole-lacks-holiday-sp/ Not to be outdone. Kindle Fire's latest update breaks root and disable root utility. http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/kindle-fires-6-2-1-update-breaks-root-disables-superoneclick-u/ Kinda weird both Amazon and B&N come out with anti-fun updates on the same day right before Christmas. Grinches! PS. I imagine someone will figure out how to work around both soon though. -----signature----- (none)
