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.

Quote from: RPGPundit;321837The original series had some good female roles.
Ha, ha...that's just so cute.  Okay, I'll give you one good female role -- Sheba, daughter of Cain.  They introduced her late on in the series, and she was a weepy lightweight half the time.  So maybe I'll give you only half of one good role.
Quote from: ticopelp;321882I'm honestly surprised there isn't one in production. Even more surprised that it doesn't star Ben Stiller as Steve Austin and Owen Wilson as Bigfoot.
I snorted at this.  And you know what?  I'm pretty sure I'd rent this after the DVD release.

!i!

Quote from: Werekoala;321698You do know that aside from Roslyn, none of the strong female leads in the new BSG were even human. Just sayin'.

That depends on how you define "Human" and who has a soul or not - which was kind of one of the main ongoing arcs of the show.

Quote from: Ian Absentia;321833Anyone here ever read The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton?*  I stopped watching the new BSG an episode or two into the third season, but I had to wonder if that's the direction they were taking the story.
No, that's not what happened :)
Quote from: RPGPundit;321837The original series had some good female roles.
¿? Good meaning... servile?
QuoteThe point is there's no reason that every tough male role has to be either turned into a female role (Starbuck, Cain) or reduced to an impotent wuss (Apollo, Adama).
Though I disliked Apollo, calling Adama 'an impotent wuss' is really adding a new meaning to that concept.
Quote from: Spike;321846More to the point: Is it written in stone that every remake should include characters of the same names?
[snip]
Boil down a show to its essential elements when doing a remake, please, rather than waste time tvetching about characters who are just going to be different based on the fact that the faaking ACTORS are different...
My point exactly.

Really good one, Ed. And this is something completely absent in the original show.

The original made no fucking sense at all.

Leaving aside the execrable robot dog, every week they found another human colony.  Every week the cylons followed them.  As kids, we assumed that the closing credits masked the cylons wiping out that week's colony discovery.

It was like the ragtag fleet were hunting dogs for the cylons, helping them wipe out humanity.

Also, I thought encountering a casino planet with holiday makers rather undercut the whole "will humanity survive?" storyline.  Um, yes, we're apparently fucking everywhere.

Christ it was bad.
