SPECIAL NOTICE
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). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Well the satic panic rears its head again.

Bah.  Satanists don't even believe in Satan any more.  It's just edgelord atheism.  Lame.

They may not believe in Satan, but Satan believes in them. Most mental illness isn't demonic, but sometimes you wonder with these types.

There was nothing left in him when I saw him.
Cool story. Has he written a book?

Thats a hateful thing to say of someone who was taken away and locked up just for playing a fucking game.

Not trying to be hateful, but I doubt there's all that much truth to your story.
