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.

I just can't bring myself to care.

Perhaps you could explain why it's so deep and pervasive that Exalted takes up less than a quarter of the front page? I've already explained in that other thread why I wouldn't mind an Exalted split, but "deep and pervasive"? Sounds like someone's drama queening themselves into a corner.

James, read the TT thread closely. Fritzef does a good job of summing up the issues. They've been raised in TT over and over again by a variety of people, most of them regulars from way back.

A whole bunch of posters quietly left, reduced their presence, and/or joined therpgsite not because they got banned, or (merely) because of the heavy-handed moderation, but because Exalted crowded out the diversity that used to exist on rpg.net until two or three years ago.

PS: Just noticed you started an Exalted thread in Actual Play. Yeah well.

One's perception of the issue will vary dramatically depending on whether or not one is an Exalted fan.

I can't stand the whole aesthetic of Exalted, but I still don't care. I don't care about the Amber subforum here either.

Read my posts in the Important Thread. I'm far from an Exalted Fanboy. In fact, I was asking for it to be split off because my Exalted question got pushed to page two several times in a couple of hours and I gave up trying to get it answered. I went to the main WW Exalted forum instead.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

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.

Hey, at least they can all be in one location, where I'll never have to look again!
(alternately, they make a tighter target when corralled into a single location.) :D

Quote from: RockViperI think its a bad idea for generic RPG forums to have sub-forums dedicated to specific games that already have entire forms dedicated to just that game, it could take a lot of traffic away from the main RPG section. The large number of Exalted fans on RPGnet would better serving their own gaming needs by posting questions and comments of in depth rules discussions on the official WW Exalted board.
