There have always been newsposts that were reposts of threads in Gen RPG. And that's a good thing.

[Fez]

Both, if you like.

There have always been newsposts that were reposts of threads in Gen RPG and credited the person that found it. And that's a good thing.

Yeah, that only happens if I notice the thread in Gen RPG or Gen Disc or wherever else it is as opposed to just stealing it from elsewhere.
