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).

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.

Is This "Brigade" Instruction Real, Zak?

The moral of this thread, and many others like this (beyond Kyle's sensible points), is that it was a terrible mistake letting theatre kids control anything in the hobby, and once the consequences of letting them do so became clear in the 1990s, it was an even worse mistake letting them back in once old-school gaming took off. Learn your lessons: theatre kids bring drama, mental illness, and terrible ideologies. Keep them out of your hobbies.

Since Zak is refusing to engage with anything that is being said I will address my statements to the general public.
I've engaged with everything and people keep acting irritated that I do, so that's a lie.

Quotehe is the only person to have been caught making false claims

A claim by a person that something's false is not evidence it is false.

A taped confession is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GJAJNbF2Tg

QuoteZak exhibits a host of narcissitic personality traits,
A non-shrink who can't even spell narcissistic is disagreeing with actual shrinks.

QuoteI, nor anyone else knows what Cam Banks has to do with the fact Zak made 11 false statements as determined by the California Superior Court on his 2019 blogpost.

If you do not know then I will repeat again:




So, whatever you think is "evidence"--isn't.
Quote~Pornography
The consumption of Pornography can at best be viewed as similar to an opioid, with a host of undesirable effects on the brain, libido, social life, sense of beauty and relationships of the consoomer...The stigma against this business and its perpetrators is not only correct, it should be stronger.

Bringing this in as if it meant something completely invalidates anything you could say. Also "consumer" has a "u".

It's a hobby, people come to it because it's what it is, a niche where you don't have to be strictly educated or qualified for it. Which maybe is not a good thing, but that's how it is.

Theatre kids like who? Somehow I never made the connection between 90s hobby and theatre.

I'm still interested. Maybe not in the ideologies part, but the theatre bit I'd like to know.

Quote from: Zak S on December 15, 2024, 12:29:33 PMThis started because the front page has people falsely claiming people who want the book have to "say nice things about me" or the work.

Quote from: Zak S on December 15, 2024, 05:48:36 PMThe text doesn't say anyone's supposed to make any specific comments. The entire "contract" with people who want the book is laid out in what you posted and that is clear in the post. There isn't any clause saying "you will receive further instructions on what to say"

The title of this thread asks a question, specifically to Zak.
In this quote, Zak answers that question.
Nothing more is relevant here.
The thread can die.

Woah!  A newb with <60 posts who apparently joined just to verbally fellate Zak has now declared the thread to be over.  Funny, I thought Pundit ran this message board.  When he's bored with the commentary, I'm sure he'll close it (or just let it fade).  As long as the thread continues to spawn on-topic posts, he'll probably leave it open (and whether or not Zak is believable in his assertions or qualified to judge misinformation both seem to be relevant to the original topic).  It's his site.

So, opinion noted (and discarded)...

I thought we weren't allowed to talk about porn because it was "off topic."

Anyway, I am all for someone building a community of people that are open minded and make the scene better---rather having it filled with misinformation. Zak's work has won awards. That's a fact. He has a new book that people are paying $1000 for. That's a fact. He seems to be engaging in discussion here and answering questions. That's a fact. He's prevailed in his court cases. That's fact. The new book looks great!

I still didn't find a theatre connection while waiting for a reply to my question - all I found was that Gary, apparently, was the coproducer on the D&D cartoon... which is cool, I guess... but too far of a connection - Frank Welker was in that one, and he hangs out with some actors who play D&D these days, really seems far from "letting them control the hobby".
