SPECIAL NOTICE
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.

And the whole thing is open source, including the backend stuff they are building.

Sold.

I'm fucking the demon.

Quote from: walkerp;245393Whoah!  Did you check out the Privacy Mode?  You can create a window that when you browse in it, nothing is ever logged or stored on the computer, so no need to empty your cache or whatever.  Porn at work, here we go!
I was thinking more along the lines of vicious, intra-office e-mail and messaging that can't be dredged out of the bottom of the Keystroke River, but, yeah.  Porn's-away!

Also, the swipe at Vista is quite out there.  I wasn't kidding when I said that Chrome is a grab at Microsoft's online market share.  They're out to punk 'em.

!i!

It won't let me scroll up with the mousewheel on the side of my laptop's touchpad. That's pretty much a dealbreaker for me. I sent a report and maybe that'll be ironed out. For now, though, Firefox is my pal.

Quote from: walkerp;245381The beta is windows only, though, I believe.  Linux and Mac are in the works.

It would seem to be only Vista/XP at this point.
