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.

New front page. I don't like it. Mostly because I no longer have my "Read new posts" button.

Where has it gone?

What section was that part of?

EDIT: Never mind. It's back.

Thanks! I appreciate it. It makes it so much easier to read the site for me.

It's still TMI for me but I'll deal with it.

One reason for the change is to accommodate our articles forum (which we are still taking submissions for by the way).

I don't really like it either but my biggest gripe is that the new posts sidebar really should be close to the top of the page. I would quickly glance at that when I clicked on the site. Now I have to scroll down. I'm not really interested in the articles. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I appreciate all that you guys do for the site. Thank you!

That page is in flux anyway.

I see that. I prefer a bit of open space is all. But I can adapt given you're working to give us a reason not to surf a couple of "other" sites.

Another vote for something similar to the old layout.

Seriously, the "Articles" header displacing the recent posts feed is horrid. Maybe we could meld it with the "News" feed? "News & Articles"?

The "News" feed is boring anyway, might as well be called the "Ads" feed.

Thanks for reading this.

I don't like the new front page - too busy, not enough whitespace, and the titles aren't big enough to draw the eye.  One thing I do like is that I can collapse all the columns down to only show me the recent threads block.
