SPECIAL NOTICE
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.

Sounds like standard operating procedure on the internet.

Quote from: pdboddy;1098610This thread is the top search result in Google for me.  I think it may have died.

Not surprising, as back when #Gamergate was at its height the top results were all from people complaining about it like Zoë Quinn, Anita Sarkeesian, and Brianna Wu. And as such, this controversy is just as hollow.

Has anything been made yet? It should be compiled (ideally without curse words :o) for sake of access, and possibly future comparison. I mean, DIY Rules Everything Around Me, right? :D Should be some product to bubble up from that promising acronym.

Creating stuff is hard when you have PSTD from fighting gamergaters, white privilege and the patriarchy on Twitter all the time. Expecting these bold and beautiful people to actually do something sounds very ableist of you. You know who did things? THE FUCKING NAZIS. Fucking shitlord.

1. I'm a married homeowner with a career and kids. I won life. You can't insult me.

2. I've been deployed to Iraq, so your tough guy act is boring.

Reading all the nastiness in this thread, it's easy to understand why some would want to escape anything related to osr.  I'm glad I don't "belong."

The OSR gained tremendously by having these clowns "escape".

If all SJWs would "escape" the entire hobby, all RPGing would benefit.
