[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.

	Wikpedia has its blackout today in protest over SOPA, which is cool, because SOPA sucks. That said, if you want to read something on Wikipedia today, just turn off your Javascript. It works just fine with Javascript off and the blackout magically goes away. -----signature----- THOOOOKA...THOOOOOKA...THOOOOOKA...

	Yeah, I was wondering if I slept thru the day they were supposed to be blacked out or something. Visited the site today a few times with no problems. -----signature----- (none)

	By the way, you can also hack Variety doing this. They have a 'paywall' which only allows you to read a few articles, before this window comes up and says "you must pay us $120310231 a year to read more!". Just turning off Javascript makes that go away and can read all the articles you want. This isn't really a hack, as it's just stupid that they implemented it that way. Developers need to learn that security should not be dependent upon something that's under the control of the client. -----signature----- THOOOOKA...THOOOOOKA...THOOOOOKA...
