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).

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.

RPGsite Darlings?

In the sense of darling as over-hyped and the game solution for everything, no we don't have a darling.

When I suggested in the other thread that Stars Without Number was our first darling, I meant it had very good responses from people who had downloaded it and was generating a lot of buzz here for a small press game.

An RPGsite darling would be a whole different animal from an RPG.net darling simply because of who posts here.
Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Quote from: danbuter;432877Just consider a post I read about Weapons of the Gods.  

"I recommend WotG! It's going to be amazing! It hasn't been released yet, and I haven't read it, but I know it will be the best game ever because of what I've seen on these forums!"

While that's slightly paraphrased, it is almost exactly what someone wrote in a "recommend me a game thread" on the Net. And he was quite serious.

I've seen that exact same post about a number of other darlings on that site, for that matter.

King Tyranno, Wreckall, Lynn Frederiks, maybe SHARK - they're all "darlings", if you know what I mean.

Do we have them? And if so, what do you think they are?
Probably any RPG that is 1st-gen.

God you're a bore. I've reinvigorated the discussion here by offering a return to roots. There have been both reunions and reflections on times past. What have you done? You probably hardly play RPGs - that's my guess - and it's made you bitter. So sad.

You straight up filled two pages of posting to old dead threads to inflate your post count so you could add an image and alter your name. 

Your posts were of the minimum word count to br valid with little effort beyond a sentence barely related to the thread topic.

10-1 you are a sock account dead for 5yrs who remebered their login after being banned.

This guy also seems to be using Pundit's photo as a personal avatar, which is not nice to say the least.

At least it looks like Pundit in comparison to the picture that came out when he got doxxed.
