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.

This might be slightly less dramatic than it sounds, but still :

They harnessed themselves to the side of an Apache gunship, landed in hot LZ to recover their missing comrade (who sadly turned out to me KIA not MIA). When you consider what the Afghans traditionally do to captured enemies, I'd say these guys need tailored trousers with reinforced crotches.

I'm trying to imagine how this worked, 'cause I imagine they didn't want to give up any more of the weapon systems than they had to. Still I can't think f any way at all this would have been a pleasant ride.

Wow.
