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.

Plan B is that members pay theRPGsite or one of the mods burns your house down.

Shit, I better fire up the paypal account.  Lowtax asks for $10 for the SA forums but all he does is threaten to email everyone you know and tell them that you hang out on the SA forums.

I'm having a hard time sorting out which is which, though.

Nah, actually, when we need money we'll probably just do a donation drive like in the past.  Actually, the site owes money to Brett for some server costs and such, for months now, but he hasn't gotten around to organizing how he'd like to do the donation drive yet.

I'm not very concerned when he does; we haven't done this in a couple of years, and the site was much smaller the last time, and we still met our goals in something like 3 days.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;415720I just can't imagine paying 3 dollars for access to a forum.
I paid $10 for a Something Awful account and an extra $10 for upgraded functionality, and it's been quite worth it, since it is a huge general interest forum with a lot to see. I wouldn't pay that money for today's ENWorld; might have done it in 2005, but that was long ago.

BTW, it is endlessly entertaining that SA allows users to buy avatars and custom titles not just for themselves, but other users. Custom titles in huge red letters, even. That's some business acumen. :D

It's a week-long data gathering experiment. Morrus wants to see how it affects various stats to give him a better idea of user behaviour.

I love it how Americans are able to repeat PR talking points of corporations while keeping an honest face.

I am interested to know about Monkey Boy's avatar. What picture is it from? Who is the artist?

For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

I love how you're calling an Australian an American.

All for the worse, all for the worse. I thought Australians would be immune to bullshit. Can't even count on the Australians, these days, not even the Australians.

I've seen you complain about generalities being made about your national background. Rather hypocritical, it seems.

OK. You've lost me. Someone asked the question about logging in to ENworld. I visited the site to check it out. Read the general forums and found nothing beyond the usual DDI whine fest. Checked meta and found Morrus' response which I posted. Maybe I should have attributed the quote to Morrus but given it was a sentence I couldn't be bothered.

If it's an experiment to see how much traffic the site .. I don't know... doesn't get because you need to log in then then I guess Morrus will get results. I couldn't be bothered checking the forums today as I figured it wasn't worth logging in.
