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).

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.

OK Il be nice and say:

This isn't asking for collective design (I have seen threads like this on 4chan). This is basically asking for assistance with details of your choice.
This might have worked if you said 'Help me flesh out details of my setting'.

I have had issues communicating myself, so I can relate.

I'm new to these sort of threads. I wanted collective design and I also wanted to provide a robust outline of my part, but that went over people's heads. Sorry.

I highlighted this part, to point out how you seem physically unable to type anything that isn't passive-aggressive, or accept an iota of fault. And I don't just mean this thread.

If it went over people's heads, I aimed too high. It is my fault, and I'm not denying that.

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.

You accuse me of a lot of things. I am guilty of unclear wording and typing too much. That first one might be why you think I'm passive-aggressive...which is not my intention.

Also, I can, in fact, understand that people don't like things that I like or are unable to understand what I make (and I'm willing to slim down and clarify in that case). What I can't understand is when they insult and demean my personal preferences.

While I fear I am shouting in to the void, I'll give it a try.

You think every time someone disagrees with you, or critiques what you wrote, it must be lack of comprehension. You're operating on this dizzyingly high level, and if only you could find a way to explain your ideas to the Ape-Men, then they'd realize your worth.

Firstly, your posts reek of feelings of superiority. Secondly, a lot of your ideas of very easy to understand, they're just derivative and not very interesting.

You come off as passive-aggressive because you are constantly aggressive in a passive way; it's not a riddle.

There are social cues, and a need for give-and-take in all Human social interactions, and you're blind and deaf to at least some of them.

There's a Jordan Peterson video (no I'm not being that guy, this is just something from psychology succinctly explained) where he talks about, essentially, give and take in play. Here's the link to just the relevant section: https://youtu.be/JI9n2yC14fU?t=225

It's apropos because when you created this thread, you were so excited by your own ideas, that you made the game un-fun for other potential players. You seem unwilling, possibly incapable of processing this fact, but I've done my best.
