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.

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.

The alignment segment would possibly warrant a ban from the relativists. If TBP moderators let something said like a claim "objectively true" on Good/Evil, such could undermine their will-to-power.

I'm on the verge about this one. What was the need to necro an 8 years old thread? Just open a new one and say your piece.

I think that necroing a decade old thread would be basis for a warning even here, too, if you don't have a good reason to do it.

Is there something inherently wrong with necroing a thread?

I always viewed it as a legitimate school of magic.

Necromancy is inherently evil magic, if your name is Wreck-All, or you're big and purple.

For everyone else, it's just a discussion with people who might not be there anymore.

One thing I always found amusing about Talmud was that it's basically guys who died 800 years ago arguing with guys who died 1,200 years ago.

I don't see why rpg discussions should be any different.

IMHO, you are bringing back a thread whose contents and context are mostly forgotten, with a lot of the original posters who, by now, moved on and can't even answer.

Indeed. The first post is July 27, 2021... so barely two months old.

I mean, provided it had a preservative effect, I'd prefer to use fresh bodies for zombies too, but to call anything this fresh necromancy feels disingenuous.

The person banned at TBP had necro'ed an 8 year-old thread for the post that got him banned.  So they're not talking about this thread.

Exactly. And, for once, this is not something I disagree with. "Yo! Remember when my parents were still together, you were in high-school and Ted was about to become a single dad? I just thought that...!"

Get a grip and open a new thread, unless there is a real, discernible reason to still be living in 2013.

I know, right? There should be a seven year moratorium on bringing up old things. Books written prior to 2014? Burn 'em!

I see you prefer to have multiple threads all talking about the same topic rather then having a single thread.

On the other hand I can not see any inherent value in respecting any particular posters ability to post or not.
