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.

Thanks to everyone for their support of the awards.  We had quite a few tough calls this year.  Not everyone got their personal favorites in, but we worked through compromise and concensus, and I think we managed to pick a pretty good crop.  

That said, I highly recommend that people check out the nominees they havn't heard of.  There were several companies and products submitted this year that I wasn't familiar with at all, and now I find myself to be a total convert.  

As soon as we get the Ok from the ENnies board, I'll be posting my thoughts on the nominees.  I'm happy to answer questions here, or at my blog.

Most definitely.  Who knows what you'll leak of our mason-inspired secret conspiracy ENnies judge techniques?

Heh. Wonder if you perceive the irony...

Had no clue.  Apologies if I offended.

None taken, Xath. But why do I get the feeling that Zach was less than half-joking with his little comment?

Hey, we are what we are.  We do have a certain reputation among some circles as precisely that. :p  I'll save it for another thread, but with the makeover and the much lower levels of Big Purple-bashing these days, I like to think people stay for the delightful conversation.

The site´s fucked up right now, and Zach is the only one keeping it sorta useful these days.

EDIT: Pundit is not the only Mason around theRPGSite. IIRC at least one other Mod is one.

It seems to me that the more useful question is how, procedurally, one could take the popularity of a game into account.

The judges receive all the products in the mail. They read said products. They then determine which products are of the highest quality. An awards process has been developed in which the judges are only to take notice of a product's contents. How would one change the judging procedure in order to take notice of something other than the product's contents?

I agree with fusangite. I think Pundit sorely missed the point with the ENnies:

Award excellence in the submitted materiel.

My point is that the value of this, aside from it being the "games five dudes think are neat" awards, isn't really worth much. Its certainly not the "best in the industry awards" it claims to be.

If you had written the above, instead of how you worded your blog entry...

If the only one who knows what you actually mean is Settembrini...it´ll not be helping you much.

Out of curiosity, who would you pick to judge the awards, if not five fans elected by their peers?
