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.

Quote from: Voros;970868I'd take anything you read about Heinlein on Wikipedia with a boatload of salt. His entry is guarded by a group of true believers who are fantatical about excluding facts about their hero they don't like.

Let's just copy & paste this into any Wikipedia article about anyone ever. Every teenybopper musician article, for instance, is written as though the subject is the most popular, cleverest, most talented person ever to walk the earth.

I don't think it's likely for someone to edit a Wikipedia entry for someone they have no interest in.

And again, this thread has spent the last several pages veering off of any of its original subject, and into territory that is not really about RPGs at all. Closed.
