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.

"Shoot the breeze" threads ok?

On some forums you'll find monthly threads that have no specific topic, just a place where people talk about whatever random topics and life issues pop into their heads and tangents are encouraged. I find those are a good way to get to know other posters, but I've never seen one around here. Are they discouraged? Ill-suited to this forum's culture?

It'll be viewed as off-topic and most likely be closed post haste.

Having said that, i am in favour of an introduction thread for new posters, but i think that's been rejected before as well.

You know, we do have a Facebook group for this forum which has been silent for a while now... but it could be a good place for off-topic banter. I once asked around for what sort of beer was best for a roast chicken marinade and we even got a lively little debate out of it. :D

I don't really know who some of the people are IRL, but maybe we could bring it back to life so we could shoot the shit. Strikes me as a neat compromise, we get to exchange witty banter on non-RPG topics while preserving the message board itself from Tangency Syndrome.

It's a closed group, BTW; you may have to PM Benoist to get you in there.
