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.

WOTC VTT turns out to be system-neutral, can run any game on it

Do you have a source for this?  I'd just like to see some confirmation of this from WotC or a published source.  If so, it's rather odd that they aren't marketing this heavily.  It leads me to believe that it may not make launch... which would be its own can of worms...

Dungeons and Discourse's newest video went over it all. I'm just restating the highlights I got from it. There's even more info in the video itself.
1. Some of you culture warriors are so committed to the bit you'll throw out any nuance or common sense in fear it's 'giving in' to the other side.

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

3. I work in a Prison, your tough guy act is boring.

Why?  Evidence?

They said it would, but I was giving my opinion. If there was evidence of it already doing that, I would have posted it obviously.

Except you posted your opinion in response to my questions as to why it wasn't included.  So you countered a question about a missing feature with an opinion that you admit you have no facts for.  I believe that could be interpreted as ... shilling.

Mistwell shilling for WotC?!?! Say it ain't so! :eyeroll:

Except that, "The WotC virtual tabletop integrates with D&D Beyond," is an entirely uncontroversial claim.

I get wanting to shit all over WotC, but don't be deliberately obtuse. You don't need evidence to think that WotC is going to link their virtual tabletop to D&D beyond to funnel people towards a D&D Beyond subscription. To the contrary, you need evidence to believe they won't do that, and you need a lot more evidence than just, "The demo version we saw didn't have that capability."

Especially if you're one of the people who believes WotC is trying to do away with physical books and wants to make money with aggressive microtransactions. Hate on WotC all you want, fuck 'em, but be internally consistent with your WotC hatred.

Nice speech, but let me explain something to you since you seem to be new here. Mistwell has consistently shilled for WotC, so this is nothing new. As far as my WotC hate, I gave up on them when they came out with 4E, so I just watch their parade of bad decisions for amusement.

"Meh."

But does it? Or id it just "Oh you have Beyond open in another window!" sort of "intigration"?
