[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.

	They started valiantly by driving their motorboat at the ship while shooting at it with their rusty AK47's only to surrender the moment spanish warship launched its helicopters and fired its guns for the first time Well...now they'll get free trip to Spain, full healthcare and maybe couple of months lodging in spanish jail thats like 5 star hotel compared to Somalian quality of living! ...so who's the sucker? vs -----signature----- [image=http://skender.be/supportdenmark/SupportDenmarkSmall2EN.png]

	They probably saw the EU markings and thought it would be a pushover. They know to stay away from U.S. warships. -----signature----- (none)

	Allstarslacker posted: They know to stay away from U.S. warships. They've attacked US warships at least twice I'm of the opinion that the pirates are so ignorant that they have no clue what warships look like. Those that attack warships have probably learned to distinguish between armed naval vessels and merchantmen, but since they never return from those attacks they are unable to pass that valuable experience along -----signature----- * First rule of a gun fight: Have a gun. \| "Any sufficiently advanced idiocy is indistinguishable from trolling." -- Arthur C Clarke

	I think Russians have right idea on how to deal with them...capture them and "release them" in a rubber boat...in middle of the ocean and with no navigational equipment! -----signature----- [image=http://skender.be/supportdenmark/SupportDenmarkSmall2EN.png]

	Remind me agin why we treat these scumbags with anything other than death? Seriously, do you have any idea how much money you could make with a pirate hunting cruise? Everyone hates Somalis! Imagine all your bff's on a boat flying a Nike flag, everyone wearing those huge, cheap-ass Nike thug hats you see at the county fair for bait, some high dollar liquor and hookers, an AA gun or a fitty on a swivel... I'd pay big bucks for that shiz. And the Russians disappoint me. -----signature----- Don't make me go pop the trunk.

	...it's not that exciting. Then again we only did it for a day or two and it was rough seas. Im glad we didn't catch any we would have had to keep a watch on them. I prefer glaring at Iranians. -----signature----- Lady, people aren't chocolates. D'you know what they are mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.
