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.

I'm another person banned from DTRPG, but I knew it was inevitable, so I made myself a catalyst:  I changed my Radical High prices to 100 times their retail prices, then posted on the items' descriptions: Save 99% by purchasing this on Big Geek Emporium!

It took a whole 2 1/2 days.  But I felt the freedom when it happened.  I did this in reaction to abuse I received from the corporation.

More censorship from the pearl clutchers at D.T.

The Red Room's satirical game 'Men' has been pulled.

Do you all remember the shit throwing going on when I made a thread to push people to publish on BGE?

"Waa, waa, muh user interface!"

"Mumble, mumble like the SJWs putting the message "free speech" before the quality of the product!"

Well, now you know WHY we have a desperate need of someone like the folks at BGE to grow big enough to be a force in the market.

I remember you starting a thread with the question of why more people didn't use said site, and then got upset that people answered you...

Yes, I do remember, and the unfair negative response by some people was very dissappointing. But people are sheep and I guess it takes a few sheerings before folks wake up... if at all.

But don't stop! I had never heard of BGE before you pointed them out, and now I am loving it! Thanks!

Absolutely man. It's essential to get some competition out there at this stage. At least the Red Room are on there.

I'm not buying another thing on DT (Unless I can't get it anywhere else).

I haven't read MEN - it seems to be obvious satire, in the vein of "violence RPG" and "Macho Women With Guns" (that I've browsed briefly).

So, apparently, there might be a viable niche for BGE (despite RPGs being a small niche in itself): "games that are too controversial for DTRPG.".

Interesting stuff.

I like having alternatives to DTRPG.

No, he isn't.

He really should be!  ;D

Unfortuntely DT are a necessary evil (for now). But I really hate the idea of having to buy from censorious dweebs.

Youtube DESPERATELY needs a competitor, but they'll never get one, because hosting is expensive, and the other platforms look and handle like dogshit. Me pointing this out doesn't make me a waaa waa crybaby, shill, or fan of Youtube, merely a realist.

DTRPG has market dominance, everything people want in one place, and nice infrastructure. Anyone wanting to knock them off their perch needs to offer something comparable, or people simply will not bite. With a shit interface, they're dead in the water. Even if our tiny group swarmed to them for muh moral stance.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

User experience is very important, but couldn't BGE just improve on theirs?

I know nothing about creating websites to be honest.

Everyone has to start somewhere.  It's less about where they are now than:

- Is it possible to function at all, now? 
- Is it secure?
- Are the developers responsive?
- What are the pace of improvements?

Who knows. If they have a good base, they might rapidly improve past other options.  A lot of sites are built on clunky, off the shelf bits that eventually show their age.

This is what I'm thinking if you could get a few extra bods on there it would draw some more attention.

They could and they should, best of luck to them. I'd cheer them on just on general anti-Monopoly principles, never mind the woke crap.

I'm just separating hard facts from high-minded stances is all.
