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).

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.

Kyle's what I'd call a liberal feminist.

The poor still weak the rich still rule

Hey "Coal Tar," seriously, this bullshit with you constantly misspelling my name in new and different ways?  It's really pathetic.  It's really like pussywillow baiting, like you want to start shit with me, but you're balls are too small to really start anything.

Either shit or get off the pot.  The constant low-grade pathetic needling is like...fucking grow a pair.  For realz.

Quote from: walkerp;223611Jackalope, I had some truck with extreme feminists in college and they never accused their ideological enemies of being fat losers living in their basements.  I think this is more a function of the internet than feminists, per se.  Also, where are you running into all these aggressive feminists?

The internet, women's studies classes I took in college ("gender and violence" was mandatory for my degree (crim. justice), and whoa boy was that class a freakshow.  I could tell a dozen stories), high school (I went to a liberal arts alternative high school in Seattle), and various social settings.  Seattle is chock full of them.

I'm like exactly the right age where Riot Grrl was exploding all over the place.  it started in Olympia, WA and caught on like crazy in Seattle.  I remember when i was 16, going to an all ages punk show at the Bremerton Firehourse and there was a chick there getting completely hammered, wasted on drugs, practically fellating anything that walked near her, with "DO U WANT 2 FUCK ME" written on one arm with a sharpie, and "U R A RAPIST" on the other.

I don't remember a single point where feminists weren't total jackasses.

QuoteI know you've mentioned some specific websites, but you make it sound like there are a lot of them in the gaming world (and elsewhere?) and that they have loud voices.

Sure, from the old Dragon Forums (back when forums were printed in magazines) to Astrid's Parlor, they've always been a voice with power outweighing their numbers in gaming.

QuoteThis has really not been my experience at all.  The loudest voices in my internet gaming experience have been of the Gleichman/John Morrow variety (and to be fair, us rational, socially conscious people seem to have a pretty strong foothold around here recently as well).

YMMV dude, it happens.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

Dude, calm the F* down  my fingers slipped on that last post of mine. Sometimes a typo is just a typo.

And if I ever used the letter "q" instead of a "k" - thats a klingon thing.

Chill out.
