Quote from: Kyle AaronDoes it not occur to them that they can just... dump Tangency, and talk about rpgs? It is rpg.net, after all.

Presumably Tangency generates money.  Get rid of Tangency and some of those funds would disappear.
 
Whether Tangency generates enough funds through increased advertising rates and subscriptions to offset the cost of it (ie, additional server capacity, and the number of users turned off by the site because of Tangency)... well, we will probably never know.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant "dump Tangency" as individual posters, ie stop looking at the vile thing. Darren can't do that because he's a mod, but he can fix that with a quick PM to the admins. Other mods have in the past been "Tangency-only" or "Roleplaying-only", restricting their modding to just one forum and ignoring others. And other mods have got sick of it all and quit. As a former mod, they also get cut an impressive amount of slack as posters, so it's a pretty good position to be in, nothing to complain about.

Of course rpg.net could always dump Tangency entirely, or at the least ditch any threads more than a year old - since they killed their search function, and since Tangency's hidden from Google by its registration thing, nobody can find any specific old threads anyway.

They won't do that, of course. But still, individual posters can pay it no mind. The traditional mod response to someone complaining about Tangency is to say, "not our problem, yours - don't go there", and then to lock the thread. I assume old Dazza isn't getting the same treatment, just lots of posters telling him how marvellous Tangency can be, it's so funny, "it's a community!" etc.

'cuz things that "big" take a while to come up ?

if. you. dont. like. what. a. thread. is. about. don't. read. it.

why is the internet full of twats who deliberately read threads they know will get up their noses and then waste their time trolling by making complaints that do nothing but provoke the OP and everyone else.

And why aer they all on RPG.net?

I would have expectedbetter of the gaming community, but I can see it's no wonder that people laugh at gamers given how sad their behaviour is on the net. It's fucking pathetic. Some of these cunts are just oxygen thieves of the worst kind. All they do is troll other people's threads and criticise you for making a comment that AT BEST could be seen is mildly perjorative and not in any way offensive.

While themselves not remotely bothered by things that are really offensive.

THe people who moderate that site are just fucking beyond my comprehension.

excellent!  must use that one more often.

I wish i could take credit for the phrase.

i usually use "waste of genetic material" or senseless waste of resources" but that's so much more succinct.  another i've heard recently:  "she's so marginal"
