Go take a stroll through the fist posts, then.  History is waiting... XD

That's a pretty accurate typo to be honest....

How do you mean?  No typos there.  :confused:

Yeah, by the time the VWBB was about ready to close the majority of the traffic was for BWO or TBP, both of which were willing to move here anyway.

Well, certainly at the start of HLP, a lot of the posts were 'fist' posts ;)

Yeah but that happened after the choice to close it had already been made. IIRC it only hastened it's demise by a few days since it wasn't worth fixing it only to tear it back down a week later.

You mean hacked as in identity theft/virus type hackers or as in countless trolls?

Just some script-kiddie who crashed the PHP, nothing serious, it was easy to fix, just not worth doing.

Wasn't there also a building move going on at or near the time they took it down?  I kind of remember a problem with squadwar because no one seemed to know how to get it running at the new location (which I thing was right across the street).  They finally did reset squadwar and get most of it back up but everything went down soon after.   By that time is was almost impossible to log into PXO anyway.  Good ol' lobby limbo.

actually "[V]" has a reputation for just shutting things down because they're not bothered to maintain them.

VBB was one of them, i wasn't too upset to see it go

Parallax Online was unforgivable.  did i ever tell you the story about it?  does anyone know it already? ;)

they were transporting it to a new location, dropped it, damaged it, and decided it wasn't worth fixing/rebuilding.

thus is the story of how parallax died...

Well I never heard the dropped it part but that is kind of along the same lines.  Mostly I heard that once the servers got moved to the new building no one knew how to get them back up and running correctly.  It would be a valid reason on why they needed to get it running again.  A simple across the street move shouldn't involve any server changes.
