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: T-WillardYet it goes on in the real world every goddamn day.

Welcome to the human race.

I've been here for quite some time now and am very familar with the failures of mankind. But while there are things I can do little about, the vices of RPGPundit are easy in the extreme to avoid.

Which given how badly traffic has fallen since my last visit, seems to be the course he's driven a lot of people to.

You're right. It is extremely easy to avoid. You can leave, instead of hovering around, whining like a little bitch. Why you stick around on a board you obviously dislike is beyond me. I can only assume you're some kind of Interbang masochist.

Again, traffic hasn't fallen at all. We're still averaging 10-15 threads a day, still averaging 5 new members every 2 days, and 150-200 new posts per day. Thinking happy thoughts and wanting to play make-believe that people are abandoning this board in their support for your and in my unpopularity is your perogative (you should probably talk to a shrink about it, though), but it doesn't actually make it so.

A lot of people have wished me failure before, gleichman. Bigger people than you.
They've all been disappointed.

I noted I founded John's links to a subject I normally like reading about and now I'm expressing my disappointment both with RPGPundit's waste of words and how this entire site is dragged down by  his ownership.

Such a waste.

After I've expressed said disppointment (a time honored internet tradition), I'll be moving on again. So don't worry Geekkake, you'll soon be able to return to your favorite passtime of kissing RPGPundit's backside.

Oh please, at least tell the truth.

I've also counted "currently active users" as well as new and update threads. For the last couple weeks you're tanking. You even admit it yourself in another thread.

As for failure, dude someone with your ego is sure to self-define success to mean whatever curb you manage to stick your nose over. Color me highly unimpressed with everything you've ever done.

If you want a thread to talk about this, Mr. Gleichman, why don't you start one? It's not polite to hijack a thread. Then you can say whatever you want, and anyone interested can read it. I was following the original subject matter of this thread, personally.

There. Now you can go fuck yourself with a spoon, you cunt. Go whine and cry like you always do in your pathetic little attention-getting melodrama and tell us all how you're leaving like any of us give a fuck, only don't bother coming back until you've got a set of forums that averages the same or better than ours, you pathetic waste of oxygen.

Oh, cool! "What have you written?" has returned to the thread. Elitists everywhere, rejoice!
Heroism is no more than a chapter in a tale of submission.

The internet recognizes only five forms of self-expression: bragging, talking shit, ass kissing, bullshitting, and moaning about how pathetic you are. Combine one with your favorite hobby and get out there!

You have my apology for my part in the thread hi-jack.

Perhaps if you re-kicked the thread off in it's own follow-up thread.
