Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Where's the line?

Would be good to bow out now since your claim was so easily repudiated.

Quote from: CavScout;260015What the fuck would we do if Stormie had claimed I "drag politics all over his threads now"?
"I think he is starting to drag politics all over his threads now, as was done in this thread."

As in, I think you are starting to drag politics into the threads you participate in.  Your mis-quote of what I said makes it appear that I was complaining that you are doing something to disrupt threads I am in, or that I feel some sense of ownership for all threads.  In other words, you should read a bit more closely.

Quoteor I "never actually engages in a conversation". Heaven forbid.
"It's not possible that people don't like him around because he never actually engages in a conversation, oh no, it has to be because of the 'liberal conspiracy' that is out to quash his 'TROOFS' that anyone even slightly left of him can't handle."

In your rush to mis-represent my statement, you mangled the sentence.  However, to the point, this is the most oft-repeated complaint I read from  people.  That you lack reading comprehension, lack an understanding of the basic discussion at hand, that you are evading and using juvenile rhetorical ploys, or any number of other ways of pointing out that you are not engaging in the conversation at hand.

You seem to think that spewing words in the general direction of a conversation  is contributing, and when people remind you that you have, once again, failed to make or grasp several points under discussion, that seems to be the trigger for the onslaught of rhetorical tricks that follows.

And it is occuring in this exact exchange.  You aren't engaging in the conversation whatsoever.  You are scrambling to cover for an earlier mistake that was easily pointed out, instead of taking the adult route of owning up to it and moving on.

I have already pointed out that many of the posters here have wildly divergent views on any number of topics.  But, for the most part, we can still concede a point to each other, and take both defeat and victory with grace and humility.  I would far prefer you learn how to engage with a conversation in a similar manner than have you removed.  Currently, the latter seems far more likely than the former, if you continue your current trajectory.

How about closing this one, Pundit? Too many meta topics all in one thread.

Probably this thread should be locked. Few posters have had anything new to say for the last hundred posts or so, the thread's just turned into everyone bashing CavScout.

Which is something that encourages a martyr complex in the victim, and hunting the victim from thread to thread for the attackers, both of which disrupt rpg discussion.
