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.

Because it was the only part of RPG.net that was worth reading - And then it went stupid.

And, as Pundit says, a place full of bad ideas with one good idea - Well, let's yoink the one good idea.

Motivator - For making motivational posters.

The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

Please

No .

No motivational posters.

on here...

They're often too wide for the viewing window - and too infrequently creative or witty.

This not meant as 'threadcrapping' but more of a plea & warning.

That path was trod and led to botyh mediocrity, madness, and something called bandwidth problems.

Yeah, I'd really prefer we didn't have an actual thread for this. I think that 99% of those posters are stupid. Like the one above, for example. A few are great and hilarious and what have you, but they're really not worth the bucketloads of junk you have to sift through.

I will also note that this would not be the correct subforum for such a thread. It would belong in the Media & Inspiration forum, since its not actually directly about RPGs, its rpg-related media.

The quality of posters in the thread is dependant on the quality of posters on the site.

Cranewing is now on ignore.

Too all the haters: if ya dasn't like motivational poster threads, don't post in 'em, y'all...
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.
