HoS this thread if you like. But I keep hearing ASVS, and, being a relative noob, I have no idea what it means...SDNers seems to like them, though...and they seem okay in my book...from what I can gather ( i may be WAY offbase), they were members of another board...which...perhaps, shut down? I don't know...

alt.startrek.vs.starwars, the newsgroup that is sort of like the predecessor of this site. Many board members are oldtime ASVSers.

Add perversion, corruption, and depravity and you've got SDNet.
darthdavid: Yes, ASVS is still around, albeit not quite as active as it was before SDNet.

It's a newsgroup, so if you have a newsreader... er.. just do what ever you do to add groups to your reader.

I personally use Google Groups, though it takes 3-9 hours for posts to be loaded.

It's the other way around. We still have RayCav.

Ugh, yeah. And a recent resurgence of ancient, destroyed arguments from braindead Trekkie twits.

Some say SD.Net is ASVS Jr. I think those people need have been living in a cave, on Mars, with their eyes closed and their fingers in their ears, yelling over the eventual demise of newsgroups and the already rampant troll infestation at ASVS. But that's just me.

If this were ASVS you'd already be strung up by your nutsack.

Really, more people came over from Spacebattles than ASVS. SD.net can more accurately described as Spacebattles Cooler, More Badass Younger Brother than ASVS' Part Deux.

This place would not exist without ASVS.

It wouldn't exist without Spacebattles providing the majority of it's members either.

Actually, no. Without ASVS Mike would probably not have created this site. Thus, this place would not exist.

Before half of ASVS piles into this thread to bitch me out, I hope it's appearant that I'm just poking fun at Dalton.

It's a place where members touch themselves at night....

ASVS is like a bouquet of pretty flowers that smell BAD.

No, Aerius, we
write about touching ourselves in STGODs.
Well, RayCav does, anyway...
