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: gleichmanOk, I think that wraps that up. My time for the brief visit is up. Sorry Andy K, but I get to keep my $20.

No problem. I made $20 back on my bet, after all. The odds were 1:1 for "leave in a month", 4:1 for "leave in 1-6 months" and 500:1 for "leave after 6 months". I always bet safe.

QuoteIf the site changes ownership again, someone clue me in and I'll stop by.

This is actually a first, really. You're not leaving because someone calls you on bullshit, argues with you, etc. You're leaving because you started a positive thread that's contributing a lot to the thought on this site, that a lot of people are interested in; are getting solid positive feedback, and compliments. Therefore, You Must Leave. Wow, that's an official first; also it's so batshit crazy that it's at an all-new plateau of awesome!!

I know this might be some pretty crazy thread necromancy, and that it might be an odd reason to start posting again, but I recalled these articles and wanted to reread them. They appear to have fallen off the internet. Does anyone know where these articles might be found?

Thanks for your help. For some reason just googling "Elements of Gaming" came up with mostly MLP fanfiction.
