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.

Uh, I can't post in the Pigpen.

Quote from: Aelfinnbetter than being a fatbeard catpissman living in your mother's basement and bitching about how people having fun are "ruining the game."

Edited response pointing out how that's the very defintion of a "Swine" after noticing mod statement.


Anyways, Gunhilda only responded to one part of my questions; the others would be to ask exactly wtf a Moderator does, and also to confirm that people who do not choose to become members of a given group can still read the posts in the other group, even if they can't post to it?

Quote from: RPGPunditUm, that's pretty much the definition of a Swine. Just add that they think "the game" is something on par with writing a thesis on Plato's Republic or painting the Sistene Chapel, and you've got it in one.

RPGPundit

I refer you to the proper forum.

you have been given a forum for your particular brand of telling other people how to have fun while being a gay-ass elf. use it.

As a moderator you can post in the swine forum - but you can't moderate there or anywhere but the pundit forum.  So gather your armies young mod - for the Nutkins have smiled upon you and great fortune awaits the winner of this epic contest of wills between you and Maddman. The fortune of the free world rides on your shoulders - and none know which side will prevail. Only one thing is certain - both forums die when they lose the funneh :heh:

You can't ban anyone (neither can maddman) but feel free to close open and sticky threads :)

I had responded to the offensive post before reading further down on the thread and noticing your moderator "warning" about it.

I understand your position, and I think that these new fora are fine if they help to keep people from senselessly arguing the same cyclical debate over and over again, and especially if it stops people from threadcrapping (note though that I'd still like to get answers to those questions of mine).

However, if this forum is just a subtle form of censorship, where absolutely ANYTHING that I or certain other people post will be taken as "potentially offensive" and be thrown back to the "pundit parlor" then this really won't be a productive change around here...

Let me sell you straight on this, Pundit.  We don't care what you discuss out in the other forums, but if threads devolve into "yes it is!" "no it isn't" endless arguments and self wankery, then it might end up in the new forums.  Also, we Squirrels like to keep ourselves amused, and we find this amusing.  For the moment.

Is that clear?

Now...  where did I put the gasoline for this thing? :heh:

BTW, usernames in blue are pundits. Usernames in purple are swine.  Usernames in yellow are mice and in brown are rats. Those two groups will debut next week.

Note we will be watching.  You take it to far and you'll wake up in the basment of a eastern european rundown hotel tied to chair while a large hairy Russian does unseemly things to your nether regions.

Oh and I have many large weapons just in case you try to get away.  :heh:

Also note that being squirrels we have not decided on what "to far" is yet.  You will be subjected to our ever changing whims and vices.  So do think before you spout or you may be facing our squirrely wrath. :devil:
