So for those that have access to RPG.net (and by the way-- it creeps me out how so many of you treat RPG.net like Voldemort-- The Site That Shant Be Named), I found this thread in trouble tickets interesting as it started out as one of the "I love you mods!" fanboy shit and twisted into a "TheRPGSite" sucks thread.

Incidently, as I mentioned before, RPG.net tried screwing with my banned account and accidently unbanned my IP address-- so I now have access to it again and figure I will continue to until I post and obviously provide my IP again (I suppose they could find it if they did some digging, but that's probably more work than it's worth for them).  Any ideas what I should do with it?

Do we really need to carry the content of that thread over here?  Let it drop, I say.

!i!

Hear, Hear!  I say let this die.

I will say that a few people who frequent this site represented well and decently in that thread, even in the face of a few unfair and largely uninformed barbs.  Kudos, fellows.

!i!

I couldn't see this thread due to lack of acount at the big purple toilet, but was it posted by a guy named ed charlton, going by a doofus klingon alias like qoltar or something with an avatar of himself done up with a dorkon headpiece?

He's a notorious toady on the SJG forums and does the same thing there: sucks up to the mods and dumps on this site.

God, his toadying makes me sick.

Feh, these're gaming boards on the Wired.  Don't take the rival-politics too seriously.  

For those of us not "generally bad for rpg.net as a whole" and therefore bannzorzed, and not lame enough to have a sock puppet account there, what's the thread say?

The same old stuff. The only thing of interest was when someone (you know who you are), thought that Dominus Nox and Amado G were the same person

I don't believe there is a post on rpg.net where someone doesn't tread-cap by sucking up to a mod.

Agreed, but what's particularly nauseating are the ones started to suck up to a mod.

I'd post a picture of my ass, but the jpg would be too big of a file to host on my server.

Apparently Eric considers me to be in the same category as you and Nisarg.

i couldn't even get through the first page of entries.  all that ass-sucking. . . i guess there's no dignity left over there.

morons.

:blahblah:

Holy shit; fucking disturbing... eric is still having his sick masochistic sex-fantasies about me. I love how he is taking that one line i posted in one blog entry like, a year ago (about how he and the other mods at rpg.net needed a spiked baseball bat to the nuts), and has blown that up into a claim that I wrote a "slashfic" about "torturing his genitals".  According to him, I'm the Marquis De Sade.  I'd be utterly amused if I didn't find his degenerate obsession with me so disturbing.

And then Curt, of all people, claiming I'm mentally ill. Holy fuck, I mean if there's one guy that needs to get doped up on anti-psychotics out of the whole modclique its him.

Anyways, what a blast of a thread. Shows how scared of us they are. Especially as we continue to prove that their whole justification for their fascism is a huge lie. Its no surprise they now have to rely on a whole parade of lies to try to scare people out of coming here.

Keep up the good work of setting the record straight, gang.

What, so all of us were banned while not actually breaking any forum rules?

I was sure RPGPundit/Nisarg had broken some rule or other... probably personal attacks or something. "Curt, you fuck..." Something like that.

As I see it, both this thread and the one over there fulfill a needed function on each site - it's a bonding ritual. We define "us" by defining, even reviling, "them." We develop a spirit of belonging by sucking up to some mod or prominent poster, and rubbishing other forums. That's why Brasky's the one to have started this thread. He came into this forum putting it down, and he wants to belong and prove his belonging here. So he's going, "hey look! Those bastards are rubbishing us! They're scum, right? We're against them, yeah? And they banned me, right? So I belong here, yeah?" This thread is just about Brasky trying to belong. Someone give him a hug.

I have no doubt that rpg.net thread will contain people saying we all hate rpg.net, yet still bitch about having been bannzorzed from there. Eric and Darren will be smug about this. Well, I can say honestly that I don't hate rpg.net, I thought very well of it, and still do. It has much of worth; but this is despite, not because of, the moderation. This isn't too different from any other forum - the worth of the place is in the posters and the posts they make, not in the moderation. The place could be made even better with some better moderation, but I don't think the current crew are one to do it. They seem burned-out and adversarial.
