SPECIAL NOTICE
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.

Which RPG-related forums even allow you to defend yourself? I've had posts deleted just for mentioning you.

Not a lot. But forums are not the only vector of information.

Consider the interaction you're describing:

-You somehow got accurate information somewhere
-You posted it on a forum where I'm (presumably) banned
-Someone had to have read it.
-You have a record (presumably) of it being erased.
-You're now talking about that event on a forum.
(A forum where, for whatever reason, it occurred to you to ask a question and one where you're getting an answer)

That's actually a lot of information getting moved around, the fact that you didn't get to post what you said sucks, but it's hardly the only thing that happened there.

Buy something. 100% of the proceeds go toward legal action against people this forum hates.

I have no love for Zak S, but I hope he fucking bankrupts Gencon and every person involved.

...  Agreed. GenCon Delenda Est.

I Third these sentiments.
