We're being discussed over on that place I don't think I'm supposed to name.

Probably best not to notice (in fairness, though, that discussion is how I found this site.)

Really?

 Thought your handle looked familiar.....

....now if I could see ViperGrrl suddenly register here, I'd finally have someone on here that would talk to about nBSG.

I found it amusing that Darren MacLennan got offended. The guy who calls people cunts gets offended, that's beautiful

Just finished that thread to the last or current page.

 My Gawd! Some of those guys are overly-sensitive /touchy-feely today. (JamesCat in particular)

If this is the "wretched Hive of Scum & Villiany" , then can I be the bartender??

Eh, I figure that anything that can be done to help direct like-minded people (such as you and I, gentle reader) to this site rather than that place will only better us in the long run.  

Note: I only read, like, the first two pages of that before getting downright bored with the "oh, but they say hurtful things," crap and laughing at those fools/pantywaists before having to go do productive things around the house, so I don't know or care where its gone from there.  

If this is the "wretched hive..." then I got news for the gits over yonder; chicks dig the bad guys hands-down over the farm-boys.

As one guy said, in the actual wretched hive of scum and villainy, it wasn't that nasty, really. I mean, the rogue PC and the wizard GMPC were the most violent people there. The NPCs looked nasty but really were pussycats.

Eh, all the hot chicks turn out to have secretly been your sister all along.

Welcome, Axiomatic!

Okay, guys, let's dogpile him.

Oh Jeez!!

Darren went for the bait and just did a Godwin.


Who's going to make popcorn for this show?

Oh, yawn.  I was just going to post a (hopefully) thoughtful response to that thread, then I realised that any gesture of defense of theRPGsite is going to be interpreted as desperation.  So, what's the point?*

If someone is going to Google up threads from a year or two back and foist them up as evidence of how things go down now (and, yes, that includes any of us Googling up weird-ass RPG.net mod-shit from a couple of years back), or cite their distaste with the rampant negativity that holds court (and, yes, that includes the sublimated negativity that still runs beneath the moderated surface at RPG.net), then bets are on that a fair and open discussion was never on the table to begin with.

!i!

[*Edit: Well, looks like I saw some point in it anyway. I posted to the thread over there.]

Well, go ahead and believe it, but ignore it.  As I was suggesting in my post above, both sites (and pretty much all sites like these) can be tarred with the same brush.  To quote an old Japanese proverb: "Every worm to his taste -- some prefer nettles."

!i!

I thought the phrase was "are your ears burning?"

Or maybe the implication is one get tinnitus from RPGnet yelling so loud?
