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.

We're unfriendly to women and homosexuals?

You know, I can actually understand that a lot of gamers might have latent or active hostility towards women. After all a lot of gamers never have girlfriends and as such the lifetime of involuntary celibacy and basically no postivie interaction with women can make them bitter, angry and openly or passively hostile.

My respone is "So?". I mean, when women never date a guy or have anything to do with him  how do they expect him to feel when they essentially shut him out of dating, sex, romance, etc for his whole life?

Suck it up, ladies. You're not getting it as bad as the guys you've voted into the 'lifetime celibacy club".

Hey, rejection hurts. You can't expect people subjected to a lifetime of rejection not to be hyurt, and being hurt leads to being angry.

Even catpissman has feelings, y'know.

Those guys need to wash, maybe join a gym and learn to talk about some broader interests than Lord of the Rings.

The fault, dear Dominus, lies not in our women but in ourselves.

I would second (or third) that it's kind of blokey in here. That's not a bad thing, in and of itself, but it can lead to a rather curdled atmosphere. Grumbling about the fickle nature of love doesn't help matters.

Well at least we haven't got onto the misogynist's favourite "Why don't women like nice guys?".  Answer "Because they're far too busy shagging Mr. Analytical... huzzah!"

The term 'blokey' does seem to be a decent descriptor, but at the same time, aside from the occasional outburst of pure wacky (see Dom), I've never noticed a persistent or guided animosity toward ladies or gay folks. At the same time being here I've learned how to personally edit the useful thoughts from the ignorant dumbassery in our posts so this place has become a smooth read for me.

This place is about reading and discussing games, so people of all walks should give this place a try. If you're a decent person and talk only about the gaming love, I don't see how the rest will matter to 95% of us and as for the remaining 5%? We're not afraid to ignore or question them.

Quote from: Christmas ApeNot that I've really noticed. I don't recall anyone's sexual orientation coming into conversation in any serious way, and Pundit's rants about soulless horrors that want only to change and neuter men was clearly talking about 'bitches', rather than 'women'. I've known both; women are wonderful creatures, but man, bitches is bitches, ya know?

That said, I guess this place exudes the sort of "boy's club" atmosphere that might make people whose identity is wrapped up in "Oh noes, protect me from teh ebil menfolk and their rampant cruelty!" uncomfortable. But then, I don't really care about them, so...*shrug* Whatever, man.

Precisely.

I don't think we are unfriendly to any particular group here.

except to the forge or WW, but that is purely on gaming nonsense.

if anything if mught be more correct to say that "The RPG Site is no unfriendly to any particular group, we are equally unfriendly to everyone.";)

Works for me, indeed it gives us a new slogan.

Come to the rpg.site, whoever you are and whatever you play we'll dislike you just as much.
