[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 was at an anti-sopa rally today outside Chuck Schumer's office. It makes me wonder. Where are the pro-sopa rallies? -----signature----- "I try to make men-only kinship?" - bstulic "It takes balls to execute an innocent man." - actual Republican voter http://tinyurl.com/6p8a7rp - summary of Israel vs. Palestine

	On Facebook I keep telling people how great it is. And how important it is to protect my awesome (see shitty) drawings from 9th grade art class from scoundrels on the internet! Or the video I posted of my cat cleaning the dog. Mind you I dislike this legislation a lot, but good news is some Senators are listening. Senator Marco Rubio A Better Way to Fight the Online Theft of American Ideas and Jobs By Senator Marco Rubio In recent weeks, weâ€™ve heard from many Floridians about the anti-Internet piracy bills making their way through Congress. On the Senate side, I have been a co-sponsor of the PROTECT IP Act because I believe itâ€™s important to protect American ingenuity, ideas and jobs from being stolen through Internet piracy, much of it occurring overseas through rogue websites in China. As a senator from Florida, a state with a large presence of artists, creators and businesses connected to the creation of intellectual property, I have a strong interest in stopping online piracy that costs Florida jobs. However, we must do this while simultaneously promoting an open, dynamic Internet environment that is ripe for innovation and promotes new technologies. Earlier this year, this bill passed the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously and without controversy. Since then, we've heard legitimate concerns about the impact the bill could have on access to the Internet and about a potentially unreasonable expansion of the federal government's power to impact the Internet. Congress should listen and avoid rushing through a bill that could have many unintended consequences. Therefore, I have decided to withdraw my support for the Protect IP Act. Furthermore, I encourage Senator Reid to abandon his plan to rush the bill to the floor. Instead, we should take more time to address the concerns raised by all sides, and come up with new legislation that addresses Internet piracy while protecting free and open access to the Internet. -----signature----- Lady, people aren't chocolates.
