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.

Quote from: David Johansen;1053597Well, Chrine, I'm sad to see you go.  I enjoyed your insights into miniatures and the industry back in the day.  It makes me sad to see the divisions and fractures in the hobby, especially the political ones.

I'm sad, as well. It was fun while it lasted. I didn't mind the time and effort I put into the threads; what I minded was how the discussions elsewhere on the forum - and not just this one! - have been veering off more and more into vitriol-throwings. I don't need that - I'm a "timid soul", as one of the regulars over on 'Ruins of Murkhill" put it. Gaming for me is a bunch of friends sitting around a table having fun - I'm getting that now, for the first time in a very long time, and I'm really enjoying it.

So it goes.

Quote from: Greentongue;1053601It makes the game even more elite.

This thread (and it's parents) gave some "Walk-up Traffic" exposure. People could wander in, become curious about the game setting being discussed and maybe become interested.

With the departure of chirine ba kal, you have to know that the new "little shop in the back ally" exists to peruse the information there.

Basically you have to already be interested, know it exists and be good at searching.

Too bad. I think it is more of a loss than it first appears.

Probably, and I do agree with your assessments. Talking to Bob about his very similar experiences was a big factor in my decision. On the other hand, I have been doing a lot more 'boots on the ground' stuff, and the stats I collect have reflected this. So, there may be hope yet.

And I will say that people are welcome over on my little forum, as long as they play nice and don't run with scissors.
