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).

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.

After years of struggling to find an American political party that I felt represented the best interests of the people and the country with regard to economic welfare and international relationships. . . I finally bit the bullet and submitted an application for membership to the Communist Party USA  (dues will be payed upon my acceptance). And, dammit, for the first time in years I feel pretty good about being affiliated with a political party.

My favorite political party would be one that served refreshments....and possibly had some dancing.

So, do you still get a free subscription to People's Weekly World when you join?
Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what\'s on the other side? Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide.

I believe that you get a discount on physical subscriptions (they also have an e-zine).

(snark) While you're in the mood to join hopelessly outdated and failed ideological systems, why not also check out Zoroastrianism - I understand its doing a booming business in the religion arena. (/snark)

But if its what you feel, then best of luck to you.

edit: And since when do you need to fill out an application to be accepted into a political party? What, they're afraid of getting too big?

Add some Commie WOMEN to that and some dancing girls and you might have a spark of interest.

I think droog meant "liberalism" in the 19th century economic liberalism sense, nowadays known as "neo-cons". Of course, they're easy to swindle, too. Greedy people always are, their greed overwhelms their common sense.

No, liberalism as a doctrine can be traced to Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679). Neo-liberalism is one contemporary manifestation stemming from the end of the long post-WWII boom.
