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).

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.

i propose a change from "swine".

Though swine has its own appeal to describe foul, pretentious, insignificant little pigfuckers, I propose to Pundit that we use "insignificunts" instead.
 
 Insignificunts is blunt and to the point, and you won't get the repeated question of "who's swine?" as much.

I propose that you change your signature.

I don't like being used as some kind of victory trophy.

I'm sorry, but that term of yours just doesn't roll off the tongue in the same way as Swine. Its also more crass, which makes it less flavourfully evocative.

Let's just stick with swine, shall we? Swine tends to send the intended target into an apoplectic seizure. Don't believe me? Just start referring to policemen and soldiers as swine and see how grossly bent-out-of-shape people can get. Swine implies bestial, obese, crude, filthy dirty, religiously unclean, and greedy amongst other things. And then there's that whole Animal Farm thing. None of the other terms proposed carry that same bundle of implied insult. Down with the swinish swine gods of swinedom. You know who you are.

You can also come up with something that is not only original and creative and artistic, but also maybe even decent, or moral if I can use words like that, or something that\'s like basically good -Lester Bangs

I don't know, I think if someone called me swine in real life I'd laugh in their face.  It works in writing though because it evokes a lot of meaning.
