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.

Quote from: David JohansenI think Stan was probably the most important guy in any collaboration.  The brake man.  The guy who says, "NO" when the writer goes too far or the art isn't up to snuff.
Er...I'm not sure you understand what Lee's role was in the collaboration.

!i!

David Johansen

Well in Kirby's case it was  probably not much more than saying "No it looks good Jack, don't rip it up!  We need it for Friday!"

And in Ditko's case it was more likely "The four page verbatum quote from Ann Rand has to go."

A big part of applying the brakes is knowing when and where.

At least he didn't have to work with Clairmont and Byrne.

While I love Stan Lee - the guy is a legend, everything else notwithstanding - Roger, The Stan Lee Experience has always been one of the most genius fucking things ever.
