Quote from: RPGPundit;506267I've always found that amusing on their part, because they do it a lot, and it only makes us sound cooler.

Meanwhile for some other people they hear that and say "Fuck.. I've always wanted to hang out in Mos Eisley!"

Well, I came here when Pseudo posted that it's a great place for getting actual criticism about games, not just talking about new sales.

I'm from Las Vegas, so I practically DO hang out in Mos Eisley.

Quote from: Elliot Wilen;506164Dunno if you're just kidding there, but theRPGHaven is...well, allegedly it's just another forum. The creators have said that they wanted to try to make something with a more friendly culture than other places, but in practice it ended up attracting and recruiting a lot of posters from here. And at least a few of them pretty clearly took the attitude of leaving theRPGsite in favor of theRPGHaven, just as David R has. Pundit of course took this as an attempt to steal theRPGsite's critical mass. You'll have to draw your own conclusions about that.

I can think of three people who have been banned here and now post at theRPGHaven, but only two of them are banned at RPG.net. There's a greater number of people (still not very many) who've just stopped posting here and post occasionally at theRPGHaven, and a few who post at both places.

It was pretty clearly from the start an attempt to say "we should have theRPGsite without the Pundit!!", and then quickly de-evolved from there into a boring place with hardly any posts, or purpose.  The only times its picked up in posting is when someone gets banned here and a bunch of people start to post about how much they dislike me, or when someone gets banned there, causing a shitstorm of controversy as they realize that the commitment to free speech is something that not just any admin can uphold.

Its pretty clearly basically a failure, their attempt to replace us proved pathetically doomed, and in a few weeks when the current banning furor dies down, they'll be back down to empty forums and one post a fortnight.

Lodz, the city I call home, is pretty much Mos Eisley without it's glamour.

Quote from: danbuter;506119So is RPGHaven the forum for the truly clueless who manage to get banned from both RPGNet and RPGSite?

Pseudo isn't banned from RPG.net.  He continues to post there now.

He may be the only person to be banned here and not at RPG.net. :pundit:
