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.

Quote from: Charon's Little Helper;948672And I will say - on that site (Order of the Stick's I believe) I wasn't the only one telling them that they were being foolish just because they could mention a couple of power-lifter females who were stronger than most men.  (and were likely on roids)

I haven't been there in a while, but the Order of the Stick crowd used to strike me as much more reasonable than a lot of other gaming forums of a similar nature.

Spent very little time there but it struck me as ENWorld Lite.

If nothing else - they actually don't get offended by sarcasm.  They even have a code for it - just stick the text in blue and they know you're being sarcastic.

Quote from: Spike;948663That I can't tell you. I realized with my purchase of Demon:The Descent that I was throwing my money away buying any more WW products.  The sheer... badness... of the game made that an easier realization than it might have otherwise been had, say, its quality been on par with the first edition Prometheans... a game I bought but will never play and one that really should have convinced me it was time to move on...

Awww, I liked Promethean. It's the only nWoD game I might seriously consider playing... though it's true that I expect it would be very difficult to run properly. That just makes me itch to meet the challenge, though! :D

Quote from: Charon's Little Helper;948666Lol - I actually saw someone on a different RPG site (not RPG.net actually) claim that the only reason that males were generally physically stronger was because of social engineering led boys being more physically active etc.  They claimed that estrogen was somehow better for muscle stamina than testosterone and a couple other crazy-town theories.

It was both frustrating and funny.

I am sorry to say that I have heard that bandied about as a truism, too.

Quote from: Spike;948670I find those stories increasingly horrifying, actually. There are too many instances of young women picking fights with men because they've been told all their lives that they should win and then getting mauled or even killed when the men finally, and often incredibly reluctantly, fight back.  I find that sort of myth spreading to be actual misogyny, rather than the presumptive misogyny that causes so many virtue signallers to chimp out.

That, on the other hand, is news to me. Does that actually happen very often? It seems... atypical. 0_o
Add me to the ranks of people who have stopped posting here because they can\'t stand the RPGPundit. It\'s not even his actual opinions, though I strongly disagree with just about all of them. It\'s the psychotic frothing rage with which he holds them. If he ever goes postal and beats someone to death with a dice bag, I don\'t want to be listed among his known associates, is what I\'m saying.

I've seen a few stand out examples on youtube. It doesn't end well for the young ladies in question, or the young men who immediately git swarmed afterwards.
