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: HackmastergeneralTotal bullshit.  But thats par for the course when airing beefs about BP.

 Yes, yes  - you're still in love with the Purple & Pink - we know that by now.

 So ...about that nice game of TRAVELLER....

Quote from: KoltarLet it go - they don't really talk about games anymore anyway.
The pimple that was Tangency has now become that site.

Really?  Out of curiosity, how many users are currently viewing RP Open?  Let's see...at this moment...384.

How about The RPGsite?  Right now...90.  Highest ever?  280.

Nyah...they never talk about games...:D

And by way of comparison:

"Tabletop Roleplaying Open (387 Viewing)

...

Tangency Open (85 Viewing)"

Tangency is not bigger than Open nor has it replaced Open, but I think it is fair to say that most rule and mod policy changes seem to be caused by events in Tangency.  So Tangency hasn't taken over, but the original mission of the site seems distorted by its existence.

Um... actually, it IS bigger than Open. Tangency has 130k threads and 3.3million+ posts, versus Open's 83k threads and 2.1 million posts.  That would make Tangency about 50% bigger (1.5 times bigger) than Open.

Sure, but nobody can claim that "they don't talk about gaming" or that "Tangency has become the site".  Whatever Tangency does or becomes, there is still plenty of roleplaying discussion.  Ignoring Tangency is remarkably easy to do.

Yeah, but you're counting threads with nothing but 500 pictures of con chicks in skimpy costumes or one-word-per-post storytelling games.  I'm much more interested in the fact that a smaller number of users, some of which seem to only come to Open occasionally or not at all, are generating so much content.  In other words I think you should count the people first and their output second.

Quote from: HalfjackHoly crap BD, do my eyes deceive me?  Have you actually gone beyond the sophomoric announcement of ignore list additions and explored the idea of continuous sig file presentation?  That's frankly awesome.

I did that only so they would know they were ignored and wouldn't waste their time trying to talk to me.

It wasn't going to be kept forever and I removed it right when I logged on today (even before seeing this message).

In a certain way of viewing things.  Thousands of 5 posts threads of "I'm bored entertain me" and "Britpack - we meetin at the pub?" "Yup"  "Nope can't be arsed", "Not if GarryG is wearing those orange pants" make for a lot of threads.

The focus of the site is, and will always be, RPGs despite the hew and cry from whiners its otherwise.  Its not games Pundit likes, so he can complain about that too.

Yes yes yes.  A horrible cancer that must be scourged.

Pundits own Tangency...errr...Forum, is, of course, fine and dandy.

Yeah...in Tangency you have the "in" crowd and the outsiders who say unpopular things that the admins and "in" crowd don't like.  They get insulted and marginalized.

In Pundit's Tangency you have...well...a lot of the same, actually.  They're starting to look more and more alike...:D

Pundit is not ban-happy, though.  I'll give him that.  (So far...;))

When the sheer volume of inane posts and threads in The Pundit's Own Forum causes him to cripple the search functionality for the entire site, and institute idiotic forum-wide mod rules, then The Pundit's Own Forum will have become Tangency.  Until then... not so much.
