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).

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.

The RPG SITE is famous!

Success is in the eye of the beholder old chum. While you may have more users registered, we certainly much more fun, outgoing and of course: sexy!

In the mean time no one loses when there is activity.

Quote from: Animalball BraskyIt's only boring to you all because you've already discussed the issue to death.
Probably true.

QuoteElliot is already registered with AB, I think-- or he's a livejournal friend or something.
I remember registering, but it looks like my account disappeared along with my posts. You also have me friended at LJ last I checked.

About the podcast, I was in a rush so I tried to skip to the part regarding theRPGsite. I caught the bit about pronunciation in the hobby, that was pretty funny.

Animalball Brasky

Quote from: RPGPunditI'd have to actually listen to your podcast to be able to comment on its specifics, and I haven't.

So it's Jong that's downloading it from a Uruguayan IP?

QuoteDon't take it personally, I never listen to podcasts, I hate the fucking things, as they're almost always a narcissistic cavalcade of mediocrity on the part of the presenters, like a radio talk show but more mediocre and lasting about 45 minutes too long.  Who the fuck has time for that shit?!

100 people, apparently.

QuoteAnyways, I did have time to click over to the Animalball forums for the first time in a long while, and I lo and behold, what did I see? A new thread talking about this being "Board Wars II" in your "podcasts" section.

And who started it, Pundit.  Tell the people, please.  Paul did.  And who told Paul that was bullshit?  Mike and I.  We're not starting a board war, Pundit.  This is more of Paul doing what Paul does.  And you know what? Every time you react like this, you give him his payoff.  Who's the sucker, Pundit?

QuoteSo I'm just going to take this as one of your neverending attempts to stir up controversy for its own sake, and probably in a desperate effort to parasitically suck in a few new posters from a more successful RPG board than your own.

We're not in competition, Pundit.  You've got more people on your site.  You've got way more activity on your site.  You also talk about a bunch of shit I have no interest in.  I don't want your site, Pundit.  We've had this very discussion before, and I've stated numerous times that I don't want a site as large as therpgsite because then I'd encounter all the problems you do-- and I don't want that.

But let's really look at what Pundit is saying, people.  Again I will stick with my original summary:  "You guys are stupid.  And you're posers."  And then you stick your tongue out.  I understand you don't like the podcast.  Fair enough.  But is anything I said wrong or unfair?  Or is this your effort to bluster and rant to divert from what I said:  (1) I thought your "I allow you to exist" comments were totally out of line and a douchebag maneuver; and (2) I think that if running this site is so difficult for you, you should quit doing it.

I think you registered on the old boards just before we transitioned to phpbb.  We don't delete posts.  Sorry for the confusion.

You should hear how I pronounce kobold.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

I don't know who it was; could have been Jong, maybe Sunboy, Umasama, or any of the various Uruguayan lurkers who occasionally read here (or who knows? maybe you have some Uruguayan fans of your own who've never even heard of me... unlikely, but possible, the gaming community here is quite big for a country that's so small).

But I for one have not listened to your podcast, I can't stand podcasts period.

Not a bad idea. Kinda wonder what the dude sounds like sometimes.

Quote from: RPGPunditI never listen to podcasts, I hate the fucking things, as they're almost always a narcissistic cavalcade of mediocrity on the part of the presenters.

And I agree with you completely, but...

Our problem was that clearly our brilliance and insight was too much to be contained by a mere message board. We needed some new outlet through which to unleash our wisdom on the gaming world. At first, we had considered getting a blog, but that seemed too masturbatory... even for us. So the podcast really was just the least nerdy option out of a whole host of nerdy possibilities.

As it turns out, it doesn't bother us that we have no listeners. We make our recordings and then giggle to each other on the phone as we listen to the playback. Who could ask for anything more?

I asked for more once. Then they took my RPGSite from me. Bastards.

Animalball Mike

RPGPundit went to the trouble of taking down his entire site for four days just to avoid answering Brasky's questions. Seems kind of drastic to me.

That's bullshit.  I think Paul was behind it.  He seduced the server owner and in return for a "favor" a "probelm" kept the site down for a week.

For shame Paul.

But now Pundit can answer my questions.
