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.

How the hell did the Ennies even happen?

Really. If anything, he owes his gratitude to Holmes, Moldvay, and Mentzer who all contributed in turning D&D into a household name.

TheRPGSite bashing EnWorld I have no problem with at all.

The dolts who got their panties in a wad when CircvsMaximvs bashed TheRPGSite, now those hypocrites I have a problem with.

I'm sure their intentions were good when they first started, but it quickly devolved into a mire of special interests, corruption, and irrelevancy.

Quote from: Benoist;372348Oh gawd. This thread made me laugh. Erik Mona's answer, too.
You are a better man than I.  That white on black still burns my fucking eyes out.  Seriously, Morrus, are you a complete fucking moron, or are you some weird kind of colour-blind that makes that scheme tolerable?

Quote from: Melan;372343ENWorld also seems to have become a haven for some really weird kind of threads.

Jeezus. That is the king hell fucking master of fanboy bullshit.  Motherfuck.  

I don't venerate the man the way so many others, especially the OSR, tend to, but that's just blatant and disrespectful bullshit.  

What's next, demands that Shakespeare rise from the dead and apologize to Baz Luhrmann?

They could do with something (much) easier on the eyes, yet not like the brownish toilet wallpaper of Circvsmaximvs either, I'll give you that. :)

And it's only gotten worse since the last time I was there.  The actual posts were a mere sliver in the center of the page, almost overwhelmed by all the pointless widgets and ads littering the page as far as the eye could see.

And apparently they run it on an 8088, to judge by the load speed*.

*=Firefox plus massive adblock and noscript keeps the noise to a minimum, however.
