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.

One of my favorite emotes is this: OGC

Ok. It's a dude masterbating. Use it wisely.
God in the Machine.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

Quote from: Pierce InverarityWe could all make a vow henceforth to use only one of these:

1) :bunny:

2) :hellokitty:

That would civilize the discourse big time.
:incrediblehulk:  SMASH  :hellokitty:!
Superheroes with heart:  Capes!

Christmas Ape

I also noticed that while we kept :fap:, the female counterpart (the 'shlick' smiley with a bow) was removed.

Ahem.
PRUDES!!!

Carry on.


EDIT: Upon reflection, I realized that in light of all the facts this makes absolute perfect sense, so forget I said anything.

The internet recognizes only five forms of self-expression: bragging, talking shit, ass kissing, bullshitting, and moaning about how pathetic you are. Combine one with your favorite hobby and get out there!

Um, is anyone asking the Smileys themselves how they feel about all this?  Where is their voice?  Who speaks for the Smileys?!  In particular, who speaks for the ass-to-mouth Smileys?  I thought they looked like they were having fun.

Also, can we get a cabin-boy neck-raping smily that you warriors can throw out everytime one of your enemies comes here and shills?

if such a thing exists, we MUST include it.  but it can't be as big as the fat guy busting the scale--it should be the same dimensions as, say, the ESB smiley.  :haw:

How do you make smileys anyhow?  Are they just animated gifs?  Is there some filetype that the forum software recognizes?

shouldn't it be "to honour this thread, i have zoomed in on the crotch element of the photograph. . . "?  :haw:

Quote from: John MorrowBottom line, as a few here have alluded to, it just makes this site look bad.  It's difficult to complain about other people being lawn-crappers when you are crouched on your own front lawn, pants around your ankles, with a warm pile of crap under you, without looking like a hypocrite.

Cheers John, you gave me my all out belly laugh for the day!:D
I think that obscene emoticons might pose a problem to those who access this site via work or university computers.

So atheists have been abused, treated badly by clergy or they\'re stupid.They\'re just being trendy because they can\'t understand The God Delusion because they don\'t have the education, plus they\'re just pretending to be atheists anyway. Pundit you\'re the one with a problem, terminal stupidity.

It's kinda hard to believe that obscene emoticons which never got used would have anything to do with this site's bad reputation elsewhere on the net.

I hadn't noticed them, but I don't miss them.  Frankly they sound fucking sad (as in pathetic, not as in depressing, though that too, bloody internet, everything needs spelling out).
