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.

RPGPundit Declares Victory: TheRPGsite will thus obviously remain open

Quote from: The Traveller;560094Seriously at this stage you may as well walk around waving a big "shill" flag. Except of course shills get paid, and you are just an impoverished ideologue, in every sense. The "rearranging deck chairs" comment towards the end of the Mongoose thread was well noted.

'well noted'?

Did you write it down in your List of Storygamers, senator?

Do you know if I've been naughty or nice?

So be good for goodness' sake.
"Ghost Whistler" is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). Parental death, alien battles and annihilated worlds.

And not even bothering to deny it. I suppose it would be pointless at this stage.

deny what, sirrah? it's your list, you wroted it. i have no idea what you think i'm shilling or why you'd even think that. Pure paranoia

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;560628That doesn't even make any sense.

At least a shill would be doing it out of some kind of motivation supporting a product, movement or ideology.  Rather than just out of some kind of self-motivated envy and spite.

RPGPundit

What is 'it' that you think I'm doing? What am I supposed to be spiteful about or that I'm envious of?

And I notice you still haven't changed your user title even though you didn't like it when I took a political stance with mine. Hypocritical much?

RPGPundit

My user-title isn't political.  Unless you really choose to see it as an anti-fascist statement, which isn't exactly a controversial ideological stance either (I doubt the site has many people here that would self-identify themselves politically as "fascists").  If you want to make a user title claiming that you're opposed to kicking puppies or stealing lollipops from orphans, you wouldn't have a problem either.

To suggest that using a slogan written on Woody Guthrie's guitar to refer to an opposition to RPG.net's moderation style is equivalent to writing a user-title suggesting Tory members should be put to death is pretty idiotic, even for you.

Would someone be so gracious as to summarize this thread?

thedungeondelver

back about 2 years ago, Ron whasisname did an "Art is DEAD" thing about storygames and shut his forum down "except for archival purposes".

I don't have as much invested in it as Pundit does but I think storygamers are the most horrible gamer subtype, right down there with Rapey McGorgutsteeshirt the Fatbeard who keeps insisting on playing lesbian female drow at every con game and endlessly goes on about how "she's" got proficiency with chain and whip weapons, and won't stop eyeing your girlfriend.

What's important is that you believe that.

You didn't like political user titles, yet you have one.
