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.

It has much more validity than Will's desperate ego masturbation.

In case anyone is nearly as bitchy or fucking stupid as Jeff (I'm honestly unsure of which), I was, of course, joking.
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Rolls to disbelieve. :D

EDIT: OK, then. Some serious questions - Why in the fuck would you post something as self-serving as that? RPGNet traffic takes a major dip and you "jokingly" say that it is because you were banned? If it was a joke, then why are you being so sensitive about it?

Because you nailed the truth and Will doesn't want to admit that.

Edit:  Still that drop is amazing.  I guess this is what happen when you piss off your audience that actually play role playing games.

That is the important thing. If the Powers That Be over at RPGNet actually paid attention to their website traffic and were concerned about what brought in revenue, they might become more anti-SJW in the culture over there.

They'll always have Tangency.

That line was a lot funnier in my head than it reads in black and white. Try imagining the mod of your choice and Shannon Applecline dressing up like Bogie and Bergman and acting out scenes from Casablanca.

You honestly think that I think I was so critical to rpg.net that there was wailing and gnashing of teeth when I left? REALLY??

And you think I'm so stupid I'd believe that would actually fly as a theory here?

Wow.

I didn't realize you were as fucking gone as Jeff. Now I know! (Cue rainbow)

I DO think the last few years have seen a series of purges for ideological purity in RPG.net, and have predicted a general narrowing -- you will get crazier and crazier shitheads the mods like, the mods will get wrapped up in tighter control freakitis, and all the reasonable people leave or are banned.

I'm just surprised to see a sharp edge to the decline.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

As a joke you suggesting that your own departure was the turning point wasn't funny. Now if someone else had suggested that your departure was the turning point that probably would have been funny.

Quote from: Shipyard Locked;816236Seriously though, what the heck happened to rpgnet right after July last year!?
If I had to guess, summer vacation. Checking for similar patterns in other years could support or disprove that theory.

ENWorld had a similar dip at the same time. They both trended down and then trended back up. Make of that what you will.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

There seems to be a consensus that you think that you were critical to RPGNet. :huhsign:
