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.

Imprison anyone who refuses the vax!

  I think he took me saying 100 was most people as some sort of dig, last I checked stats and demographics that is about the average IQ in most western nations (well I think germany is 108 or some such) and thus is most people.

No, it's the normal nonsense of you implying you're smarter than most people and thus superior.

      What if I am, mentally and physically superior to most people?    Its not much of a brag in the USA where I think the IQ average is just under 100 and most of the population is in horrible physical shape.   But it can in fact be true and not be anything to be proud of at the same time.

There you go. You're part of the problem, not any problem that is real in my eyes but part of all the problems that you witter about. You bitch on t'internet about stuff you think is believe is going to lead to a hellish dystopia but do nothing about it. I'm fairly certain you barely mention it in real life.

You've dropped out of doing any action and think that blethering shite on an obscure forum about an obscure hobby makes you in any way meaningful. Dropping out of everything makes sure that you'll never have any effect on anything. You're the ultimate sheeple, completely unable to affect the world around you. I honestly thought better of you, I remember when you wanted to stand as a candidate for your local council.

I don't believe in your frankly nuts conspiracy theories but if I did I'd do my best to fight against what they plan. This is quite sad.

You're a lefty with approved opinions on the matters of the day. You don't have a clue what it's like being counter to that. And no, not since Brexit have I been publicly vocal about my opinions on anything; cancel culture most definitely exists and I have children to support. This is an obscure and relatively private place to vent under partial anonymity, thus risks little.

I'm never going to have an effect on anything beyond my own life and that of my kids. I was naive enough to think politics was a route to change once, I've since got wiser. No one who isn't a pliant tool of the powerful ever gets anywhere in that field. I wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the levers of power with my views on the world.

Sheeple are the people blithely going along with the bullshit and doing as they're told. I'm not jabbed, nor are my kids. Unlike their school friends, they haven't had an unknown agent introduced into their bodies with unknown longer term effects.

  I saw a guy say something once to the effect of he did not care to wake up the sheep he was only there to wake up the lions.  Powers that be do not fear waking up the sheep...they are concerned the lions might wake up.

Sheep are HIGHLY unlikely to wake before their head is laid on the block and the axe is accelerating downwards...

Which is what we see happening at a rapidly increasing pace. The last one to know that they are in a war, will surely lose it.

If you're right you're willing to  bequeath your children a life of slavery under some sort of worldwide dystopia government because you're scared of cancel culture. You're doing it with your eyes wide Open. You are knowingly collaborating in the process.

I totally support these cases. There have been deaths attributed to the AZ vaccine, you don't need to go to beyond the MSM to see that.

Wait until all the miscarriages and failed pregnancies really start to hit the birth rate. Who are we kidding though? Doctors will simply continue being baffled looking for a root cause.

Yeah, because my children's lives would be markedly improved if their father was unemployed or in prison (the last is coming, when the Online Harms Bill finishes it's journey through Parliament).

I protect them by ensuring they can see through the lies for themselves and are prepared for the world that's coming.

The world that is coming is only doing so because we are as of yet too comfortable to do anything about it. A day will come when that changes. I just hope it isn't too late.

Preparing for the world that you're letting happen. Nothing you say here changes anything.

Luckily most of your beliefs are a piece of nonsense.

I've been thinking about this and I couldn't live with myself if I hadn't brought my children up to challenge injustice they see. I don't see how giving an example of just keeping your head down is a good thing.

OTOH I try not to judge other peoples parental decisions, frankly managing to keep kids alive and emotionally safe is hard work.

IDK do you think that giving an example of bowing to an oppressive system is a good thing. I'm a bit leery but that guy who stood in front of the tank in Tianeman Square probably didn't have a good end. Mibbee it's better to show our bairns that they should do what they're telt.
