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.

When is the asset fire sale so I can buy everything for pennies on the dollar.

If they didn't produce anything then there are no assets to sell, hence the bankruptcy.

There's those star frontier books though, plus the domain name and trademark dress. Those can all be put up for sale.

Everything about this iteration of TSR has been a joke.  Despite being several men strong, they've never been able to come up with a single new product.  The one product that they appeared to be slowly working on had some racist section in it, and one of the few people with access to it leaked it online, thus cancelling the project and allowing Hasbro a fresh crack at their own lawsuit.

If they hadn't hired racist nitwits, it would never have happened.
If they had only hired racist nitwits, it would have not have leaked.
If somehow it did leak, and they stood their ground and claimed free speech, it would be a court case they could in theory win.

Literally none of this happened.  They hired nitwits, but at an insufficient density for nitwit solidarity.  Then their leadership tucked tail and ran.  Truly they have failed from every conceivable direction.

I am not familiar with anything that this iteration of TSR wrote. What exactly was racist? I ask because in this day and age snowflakes will claim everything is racist including completely unrelated shit such as math.

Go look up tenkar's review of nu-TSR's Star Frontiers.  It was a dumpster fire of racist content that made no sense in that day and age.

It made even less sense in a Star Frontiers book.

Good god. On one hand, there's WotC's sensitivity readers, and on the other there's shit like this.

Who on earth thought this would fly? I'm seeing shades of FATAL.

I've read Fatal. It was published, not complete.

Which is kinda scary all things considered.
