Quote from: jrientsIt's easy to get set up with a service like StatCounter.com that gives you reader data for your website.

I ment that the act of him looking at the blog bumps the count by one. So it is only himself looking at himself that is upping his "readership".

Quote from: Andy KConfirmed above. And yes, annoying for people who have no intention of signing up. It's a different forum with different rules, and different benefits for members.

is "different" in italics supposed to mean the same as "anti-freedom"?

Yes, Pundit; Andy hates your freedom.

:rolleyes:

If people don't denounce all anti-freedom forums then the terrorists have already won.

And, well, sorry to say it Pundit but he's just as damn over-the-top funny. Kidding! I'm not sorry at all.

LOL

No, he isn't. He's a certain well-known member of my Rogue's gallery who's making a pathetically over-the-top attempt to insult me.

Pretty fucking sad, actually. I guess Eyebeams was feeling hurt that I kept making fun of how no one reads his blog.

Note also that he tries to present me as "sexist, antisemitic and queer provoking": I don't find that funny in the least.

You see, the difference between his parody of me, and the "indie gaming scene's" parody of indie gamers is that the latter is based on fact. Its a slight exagerration of things that people have actually done and said related to Forge gaming.  The guy who seriously compared Forge gaming to the "beat poet movement" for example.

On the other hand, most of what the "RPG-Griot" has said is just base slander.  Its crude.  I'm not saying that you couldn't make a good parody of me and what I say, but that this is not it, because its nothing other than character assasination.

Quote from: blakkieP.S. I assume that the gaining an extra viewer every time he checks is a reference to counting his own viewings? Or do those automatically get culled from the blog stats? I'm not really up on this blog thing.

Its the writer trying to claim that I don't actually have a huge following; clearly being pissed off at the fact that I get 1200 hits a day to my blog, whereas he's lucky to get a handful of views; and that a single comment on one of his entries would be a near-miracle, while I get dozens and dozens a week.

He hates that I'm popular, so he's making fun of the fact that I take pride in my success while at the same time trying to claim that I'm not successful.

Like Maw said, its pretty pathetic, and all it shows is how scared the dude is of me.

For fucks sake, get over yourself. You are acting exactly like you were expecting Story-time to. Whining about a good ol' ribbing. :pundit:

RPG griot is just not teh funny.
I`m a bit puzzled though that Ye Olde Pundithe takes it so serious.

Quote from: Levi KornelsenYes, Pundit; Andy hates your freedom.

:rolleyes:

The point is, what the fuck are you guys hiding? You're just taking moderation to a new level there, aren't you? I mean, why actually make it impossible for people to even READ what you write on there?  I get that to you guys freedom of speech is less important than being able to control said speech, but you also feel the need to prevent any heathen uncouth eyes from daring to glance at the brilliance of your words?

While, not as funny as indie scene, it is funny.

Ah, I don't. But I am pretty disappointed at who I suspect wrote it. I expected a better effort from him.

I just would have enjoyed a parody that was actually done well, as well as the dude who did the indie gaming scene.

RPGPundit

Actually, I agree with Pundit that "sexist, antisemitic and queer provoking" is rather dodgy.  Without that stuff, you'd have a fairly funny parody.  With it, the whole thing looks like character assassination.

Quote from: RPGPunditThe point is, what the fuck are you guys hiding?

Our sand.

See, it's Andy's sandbox, and he only lets certain kids play in the sand.

The ones who won't piss in it.

Yea, it never ceases to amaze me how my opposition feels the need to make up absolute lies about me in order to feel good about themselves; its like "if we pretend he's actually hitler then his truth won't burn us"...

Pretty fucking sad.
