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.

Quote from: walkerp*and you're right, the D20 forum can't be called a ghetto. It's Open that's going to be the ghetto.
I fear you may be right. :(

Quote from: JimBobOzI think you're assuming that all their reasoning is completely logical and laid-out clearly in their own minds, they just don't choose to share that with us. I think they're just as whimsical and inconsistent and muddled and confused by things as you and I. Why ese would mods come to therpgsite to defend their modding of rpg.net, and let out a heap of personal attacks? "Our rules are so good that given the first chance we'll break them all." If rules against personal attacks are good and help conversation, then why not follow them everywhere? Or do they want to hurt conversation here? Or is it that the rules are just arbitrary and...?
I had to quote you, because you raise some good questions. I wish I had some answers though. :raise:  
Quote from: JimBobOzNot that I think rules against personal attacks are actually a bad thing - they have some good effects, some bad effects, but overall are probably at least neutral, if not good. I just mention it as an example, that while praising the rules of rpg.net as producing a wonderful forum, at the first opportunity they speak in a way they never could there.
Maybe they feel constrained by their own rules, but can't bring themselves to admit it? Who knows...? :confused:

Because "busy" is not the best metric for "quality".  Ghettos are full, not empty.

There is no problem with there being a D20 forum and an Open Forum.  it's not making them a ghetto.  It is at the top of the lst, easy to see.

All I see is a knee jerk reaction to change from certain people.  Anyway the admins say its working and its going to stay for now so, not much anyone can do.

Except that I'm not spending copious amounts of time trashing other people's food blogs or dev blogs, now am I?

Hey I'm just responding to your wondering why it's a ghetto.  It's not about numbers.

OK, now you've gone from disingenous to dishonest.  It's never wise to lie about your own posts on a public forum.

Dude, you're taking a cheap shot at Blue Devil for no reason. He's contributing to these forums. What's your problem?
