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.

Good luck.

As a victim of childhood bullying which left me deeply emotionally scarred to this day, I fully support Droogs' emotional-safety initiative. As a show of my support, I've decided to form a special-interest group, a pack if you will, composed of like-minded posters: the Friends Understanding Droog's Gentle Emotions; the F.U.D.G.E-Pack.

By working together, we'll be able to lobby for the changes required to create the emotionally safe space we crave, the warm electronic womb which will be our refuge from jocks, bullies, hot chicks, cops, soldiers, D20 players, Republicans, Americans, and other shitnozzle assclowns.

We will have a special signature, to differentiate us from the less enlightened. I will petition the Mods (we'll need many) to banhammerinate any who use the special signature in a hurtful fashion. A special subforum will also be required, like a safe version of Off Topic; it must have a quirky name.

I am now strongly tempted to change my signature to 'The best FUDGE is whipped.'


:what:
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Whatever, dude.  Your avatar intimidates me with its implicit violence, and I resent it deeply.

Can't you see I'm overcompensating?

Also, the pretty barista at Starbucks was just totally a bitch to me. Hugs and vibes, please. :(

and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.

All I can say is that I'm utterly dismayed at some of the attitudes displayed here. laffingboy alone seems to grasp the issue, with his FUDGE-Packer initiative. I must admit that I can barely understand John Morrow's attitude, as I thought he would be pleased at our following through on his ideas.
