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).

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.

Please sticky the list of woke TTRPG's

Can we please get the list of woke TTRPG's stickied to the top of the forum?  Its a good bit of work done and it makes it easy to find.  I don't understand why that massive thread hasn't been put to the top of the forum.

It's been intentionally not stickied.  Pundit stated that it should live or die on it's own merits.  That said, the list itself is stickied: https://www.therpgsite.com/pen-paper-roleplaying-games-rpgs-discussion/consumers-guide-to-ttrpgs/

Terrible idea, overwhelming majority of ttrpg players can't pass Voight-Kampff test.

The fact that the list is stickied should be good enough.  Probably the full thread should have been stickied instead- it's obviously an important part of the forum and is hundreds of pages long, it's obviously "lived on its own merits", after all.

But the list is there and is stickied and that's great.  Ocule has also put in some of the more recent updates, as companies who had originally stated they were apolitical began doing performative politics for goodboy points (Basic Fantasy, for instance), and in general it seems pretty solid.

The idea that a list of socially approvable or disapprovable publishers and games seems like a primary activity for this forum is pretty sad.

First, it's just a list of people who hate normal people versus those who do not, not something about what is "socially approvable" or not. It's extremely necessary due to activist infiltration and the actions of pressure groups as regards large social media corporations and all of their top-down moderated areas that ban such communication.  Reddit's /r/osr and /r/rpg communities recently made up a reason to ban all mention of ACKS, for instance.  Any manner of counterorganization to this, even a list, is wholly good and not in any way bad.

Second, it's not a primary activity- you can see that general chitchat far outweighs such topics, it's just spread across many more threads. 

Third, if it WAS a primary activity, that would be fine.  It's good to push back against evil people, even in minor ways.  The purpose of a community, or a forum, isn't diminished just because it's one of the few places with free speech. If you have a problem with the idea of a forum being formed around such an idea, I'll wait here while you go and argue your case to the massive left-aligned activist forums across reddit and Discord and even the classic places where infiltration has happened; surely they will heed the wisdom of your words. 

Basically your premise is wrong, and if it were true, it wouldn't be sad that some place away from all those haters exists at all; it would be gleeful, happy, excellent.

I really want to thank everyone for all their hard work on the RPG PTA.

You're responding to a dude who adds nothing to the forum except tranny trolling. Just ignore.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.
