What does one have to do to be able to see the restricted subforums? I've been reading the Codex for a few years, mostly to find some opinions on RPGs I love or read about some old games I wouldn't otherwise hear about elsewhere. What's the reason newcomers are banned from the "VIP lounge"? Just curious.

DU doesn't want to attract the crowd that's only interested in jewbashing and shitposting. Maybe he likes to pretend that people join mainly because of arpeegees, while the site clearly advertises the freedom to shitpost. That is Codex's main draw.
In your case, just check out the Codex at 24th OctoberWhat does one have to do to be able to see the restricted subforums?

That's why they were opened to the public I wager. Honestly, the era of forums is over, most people have moved on to other platforms and means of communication. This site is basically a BBS dinosaur board, a living museum more than anything else. It's like ham radio, except the barrier of entry is much lower.Well, it turns out those forums are torpid, almost dead.

Please show me a single example of how this is so.
I'm pretty sure social media has killed more games and game projects than it's started, and Codex has kicked off more games and projects than either of those numbers. Idiots in boardrooms always think they can ride the social media wave for free advertising/shillery, and a good portion of the time they end up with some kind of shitstorm or controversy on their hands. Meanwhile, Codex might shit all over your project, or they might declare it incline, but they sure as hell won't try to stop you from making it.That's why they were opened to the public I wager.

I disagree.
Social Media is shit boring banal. Its only use is to store photos, crib memes from and talk to people you know. Especially the modern ones. In certain aspects, stuff like Orkut was far superior to Facebook today.
Social Media is also getting more and more censored and oppressive. And honestly, most of the content is trash.
I think we need a rebirth of the forums, or perhaps a fusion of forum and social media in something more private, secure and free.
Codex got a bunch of games started. Look at how many dexers are game devs now, look how many games we backed.
How many really good games happened because of Fagbook?
One day, Facebook and their ilk will be gone, and the RPG Codex will still be here.
