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.

Quote from: CalithenaAnyway, why did these two threads get moved to the ghetto?
(a) It's not a ghetto, it's Off-Topic ... not a value judgment, except as far as RPG-relevance is an objective value.  Which, given the fun that goes on in this "ghetto" ... questionable :D

... and (in the spirit of Paul Reiser) ...

(2) The two Q&A threads trended, unsurprisingly, toward the topics that people wanted to ask questions about.  Lots of folks decided that they wanted to as Luke about GM Fiat, and the historic arguments that arose from that, and me about GNS, who-started-what, and the historic arguments that arose from that.  Since neither of these things are actually RPGs, but rather the history of discussion of RPGs, it makes perfect sense for them to end up in the Off-Topic forum.

That's my thinking, anyway.  I'm a little niggled by the recurring pattern where negative talk about past discussions drowns out positive talk about current roleplay, but that's about the questions that get asked, not about the moderation that should be applied once those questions have steered the thread into non-RPG waters.
