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.

I think we're coming up on a couple of decades since Games Workshop stopped crediting artists and writers, and WotC/Hasbro are at least as soulless and evil as GW. Faceless corporation content mills FTW.

Weird because in some of the WotC books they go out of their way to credit artists.

Tasha's Cauldron and Wild Beyond the Witchlight credits the artist on every page their is art on with their name on the inner margin.
Which makes me think this wasn't a WotC decision but a Hasbro/eOne decision.

Won't help them, of course.

As I mentioned a couple of posts ago, there was an update note in the Geek Native article jhkim posted earlier in this thread saying that it may have been Paramount or their marketing team rather than WotKKK or Hasbro, cuz they were the ones who handled the movie marketing, including posters and stuff.

Don't personally care how badly this reflects on WotKKK or Hasbro, since they're trash. But people might be huffing and puffing at the wrong target here. Not that it matters either way on the long run, cuz regular people don't follow any of this stuff and even people who should known better still Consume New Thing™ anyways. So this sorta thing tends to have minimal impact on these soulless corps in the long run.

Would not surprise me if it were SOP of some Hollywood marketing department to remove artist names from movie posters. ...also would not surprise me to learn that WotC removed it themselves for any number of stupid or political reasons. Probably never know. Super lame in all cases.

Does that stop WotKKK or Hasbro saying that they do not stand by the decision? Perhaps running an article highlighting Jeff Easley's contribution to the look of D&D. You know, being an ally to an unfairly treated artist and doing the decent thing.
