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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Covid, the "lockdowns" etc.

Must every point of view, whether left or right be met with this word? You can misconstrue any statement and spin, twist it into something favorable towards your ideology. I don't understand it, does it make you feel better or something?

Are you really this ignorant of what Australia is doing to their aboriginal population right now, and historically what they did to them?

Au contraire mon ami. You can learn much from Australia, for example NEVER, EVER, surrender your guns, under no circumstance no matter what they tell you.

True.

So far I've only seen one person say something on the news, without any actual facts to back it up. So are you implying their lockdowns are solely based on this? Are you saying it isn't about keeping cases down? Please provide proof from a credible source and I might actually take a second look into it.

Lockdowns? They've got concentration camps and forced vaccination.

"Voluntary" concentration camps that if you try to leave they arrest you.

Funny how voluntary works down under, wonder if the same goes for other stuff, like say work?

Therefore everyone has a mild case, because you did.

Fatties, oldies and people with broken immune systems, don't, no.

Healthy people, nothing to concern themselves about.

How many healthy people, of appropriate weight and age and immune system, would need to be in the hospital, ICU, or die, for you to believe there is actual risk to people outside those categories?

  Define actual risk.  I would have serious concerns if it was more than 1 percent of cases of healthy people.  I think that would create the idea of risk for me.  I think the total case fatality rate is under 2 percent, and lots of those are cases of died *with covid*.  Not that I do not doubt for a second that a case of covid certainly hurried the grim reaper along for a person who had 6 months to live from cancer, it is not always the best metric for just how dangerous the infection is or is not.

In the UK, 1,500 people die of all causes every single day. At the moment 1,000 people die "with" (not from, 95% of those people actually die from their underlying conditions) covid a week.

Even if I was being generous and allowing all those "with", barely 10% of daily deaths with covid (c 140), when almost all those people are already sickly, is fuck all. Certainly doesn't merit any of this charade.

Wow! I find it impressive how you guys go on and on solely based in myths and rumors. If any of that were true, three things.

1. World intervention
2. There would be videos and footage of such
3. Everyone would be talking about Australia

Hmm, yes? Recapping the past 2 years comes down to two words. Covid, Lockdowns.
