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 remember Dan being a mod, and it seems like he got stripped of his mod status because tangency didn't like having someone conservative leaning modding them.

.... he was never a mod in the forums...
That's false, he was definitely a mod. Why not wait for someone to come along who has better information, perhaps even the gumshoe himself?

In what time period do you think he was a mod of the RPG.net forums? He ran the #rpgnet IRC, yes, and had full mod/admin powers on the IRC, but the evidence I see (and remember, having been on the site since 2002) says that he was a normal user up until he took over the IRC stuff, and that taking over the IRC did not give him mod powers on the forums.

Okay, let me try this again:

I am not talking about the RPGnet forums, where I am a mod but do not set policy.

I am talking about the #rpgnet chatroom, where I am the channel owner.

Or, more specifically, I am talking about an RPGnet chatroom, since there hasn't been an official IRC chatroom for RPGnet since Skotos took over. Anyone can create such a chatroom, with the only restriction being that I happen to have registered the name on Magicstar -- just as another person created a #therpgsite chatroom. And anyone can run a chatroom thusly created however he or she chooses.

Quote from:  Dan Davenport from Feb 2007, this site
I don't know how much I'll actually be posting here, given that (1) I have quite a bit of writing to occupy my time and (2) I don't know how comfortable a SwineRPGnetMod like myself will be here, but I figured I'd give it a chance, at least. ;)

Approx 2,500 posts since that one!

Here you go.

Quote from:  Dan Davenport, April 4, 2011 this site
No, I don't mind.

The short version is that I expressed some conservative opinions that riled up the dominant leftist Tangency culture. I didn't so in any more of a confrontational manner than the other side had used on many occassions, but it turns out that there was an unwritten rule: Tangency's dominant leftist culture musn't be met head-on for fear of disturbing the peace.

First I was de-modded for not putting up with someone calling me a liar about my motives, then I was kicked out of Backstage and banned from political threads for a supposed pattern of misbehavior.

That makes it much clearer. My googling had only gone back to  late 2011, where he was essentially only posting the IRC notices, with the occasional foray into other forums.

Greetings!

Dave Davenport is a member of our website right here. I think he is also a moderator here. He does lots of articles in the game article section and mostly game reviews and interviews. He's great!

Who cares what TBP is doing? Of course TBP doesn't like Dave Davenport. They don't like a whole lotta people. Fuck TBP.

Dave Davenport is very welcome here on this website.

Semper Fidelis,

Davenport - regardless of his politics - was never going to be welcome at rpg.net because he actually games.

Yes, it's TOTALLY just 'resentment' to examine the bizarre and contradictory behavior of a forum on a website that touts itself as 'RPGnet is the oldest independent roleplaying site on the Internet. It was founded in 1996 by Emma Antunes and is now owned and run by Dyvers Hands Productions, a company specializing in storytelling across many media.' That's taken literally from the 'About RPGnet' page.

(Sidenote: I keep reading 'Dyvers Hands' not as 'diverse hands' but as 'diver's hands'. LOL.)

I mean, us being rather vaguely interested in roleplaying games, why should we show so much interest in this zombie website that has turned into a circlejerk for leftist memes? Oh yeah, because, again, they claim to be TOTALLY about RPGs, guys! Really!

"Born of resentment" ain't "just resentment," but given the very large population of locals here as refugees from getting banned because they said something the purple people didn't like, and are still aggrieved about it, it's a lotta resentment.

Give me other reasons as you please, but do not deny "Fuck those guys how dare they ban me we'll show them" ain't one of the reasons, and it ain't a small one.

Edit: I mean I guess another good reason would be that without the purple people where would we have a source for half the sex crimes in the RPG industry? It's not like they'd ever get posted here as a first scoop. No purple people, no reasons to be mad.

I was permabanned twice over there, once for literally saying I thought the country was doing well around 2018 in some thread bitching about Trump. Literally just stating that I wasn't trembling in my boots at the mere thought of having to live in the US because Trump was president = perma. Zero infractions, nothing.

So my interest in rpg.net is strictly out of sheer malice: I want to watch that fucking site burn to the ground for having the audacity to pretend to be about RPGs when really it's just a bunch of leftist fucks sucking each other off.

Their circlejerk gave not enough grip and they used their nails, better come over here to start our own.
