Are we an RPG Discussion website or a Free Speech website?

[Oberon]

Is RPGnet an RPG discussion website or a tyrannical SJW hivemind?

 

[fantadomat]

Just don't close the Codex, it's been my starting page for almost 15 years and I browse it daily. I need my fix

damn addicts

Said the dude that had the kodex as a starting page for the last 7 years....fucking noobs.

 

[fantadomat]

Yeah, JamesDixon , the Supreme Court said it's OK, so take one for the team, man!

Are you sure we are on the same team as him ?

 

[fantadomat]

Well i do feel for DU,it is pretty hard to run a server/forum from a fucking gulag.

 

[Grauken]

Well i do feel for DU,it is pretty hard to run a server/forum from a fucking gulag.

why, you have more time for doing nothing in a gulag

Australia started as a prison colony, it's just returning to its roots!

 

[Archwizard Hank]

I think you guys are misunderstanding what DU is proposing.

[snip]

He's either mentioned or hinted at splitting the forum multiple times throughout the poll topics and this thread, but I'm with you on this, this is a better way to go about it.

 

[Ehrenmann]

What would replace the "RPG" in the sites' name though?

Just insert a colon. R : PGCodex, as in... Rated PG? Because we're edgier than the average site? Yeah we'd have to workshop that one. The joke is shit but on the upside the SEO would only get mildly confused

Shitty internet connection.

Sure,but DU is some 20th century liberal fag,not a hardened criminal chav,he will get wrecked in the first week.

 

[IDtenT]

Let the banner of the Free Codex flutter in the wind!

 

[fantadomat]

How about this:

We should become an RPG fan site,talking about different types of RPGs and begin talking about explosion radius and accuracy stats.

 

[RNGsus]

 

[Can't handle the bacon]

How about this:

How about you start putting spaces after commas, illiterati.

I would probably not post any more online. I'm too old and too comfy here and just the thought of having to look for something else just sounds depressive and too much work. Internet for me would just be relegated to gaming, just like the TV is only for movies.

I'll probably just go back to posting on nfohump, almost dead as it is.

Yes, some of us will fade away, quite possibly me included. This is nothing new. Yet, as long as we still have electricity, there will be basements and PCs, and as long as we have basements and PCs there will be new generations of Codexers, under that name or another. One man's monocle may be lost or broken but the spirit of bitching about video games will rise again.

 

[Strange Fellow]

This division would greatly benefit the people on codex who don't like to read "whining" about SJWs/political agendas in games, because they can immediately shut it down as being "off-topic" even when the developer is open about their intentions.

No it wouldn't, hands-on moderation would scare away a lot of good posters and disrupt a lot of good discussion and we're all perfectly aware. We don't want those people banned, we want them to stop perpetually whining about SJWs voluntarily :fabulouslyoptimistic:

Okay, okay. You've all finally convinced me. I'll take over RPG Codex.

But I'm not paying asfasdf the $500.00 back and Liberal has to start posting with his original account again.

 

[Grauken]

Crispy's Codex

 

[Kev Inkline]

Now I realized why these Numenera Collector's Edition avatars haven't been implemented yet:

They're potentially against new regulations, aren't they? Rest assured, I'll take personal legal responsibility for them, so feel free to put them into use, ok?

 

[gaussgunner]

If you want to be "free speech", that's fine. But you can damn well put your name next to it and stand by what you said.

And how are those crying "free speech" going to feel when I'm ordered to hand over your identifying details to law enforcement authorities? You expect me to refuse and go to jail on your behalf?

Over an RPG website?

We know that a large number of the shit-posters register with free dodgy email accounts and use proxies. Are you going to tell me they're really here to discuss RPGs?

How would you feel if I require personally identifying information in order for you to post on the Codex? Enter your credit card details here so I know who you are, just in case someone decides to play games over some shit you posted.

NO. Absolutely not. Anonymity has long been recognized as essential to freedom of expression, especially in print, moreso online where anyone with a grudge against you can simply google your name and go fishing for gotcha's. Even the most innocent wording is bound to piss off some lunatic, and simply knowing your name and general location is enough for them to harrass you at your home, workplace, etc. It happened to me and my wife a few times before I joined the Codex, and that was before GamerGate and ClownWorld and Trump. I will NEVER AGAIN use my real name on social media or forums.

But even then, that's not enough. They can come after me now. They don't have to care about you. And knowing half the shit-posters and trolls we have here, I guarantee you someone's already thinking about how much "fun" they can have with this.

We already had someone try to shut us down earlier this year.

I'm surprised you've lasted this long, considering the cuckening of Australia and NZ especially since the Tarant massacre. You people never should have given up your guns - that was the time to fight your government. Now you're being muzzled and enslaved like the Chinks.

Under GloboHomo repression, it was always a matter of time until centrally hosted sites like this would be forced into compliance by ISPs, hosts, registrars, banks, lawsuits, and criminalization of free expression. If you can't fight it, you might as well pull the plug.

Decentralization will fill the void if we still have electricity and shit, but the decline is real. There will be no place for video games or the internet when reality is a cyperpunk-going-on-medieval RPG.

This is all just one big windup to SP announcing he's taking over the codex, right?

 

[Crispy]

Saint_Proverbius can't even handle the maintenance of a chicken coop. Forget it.

Guess it's a good thing he has an IT guy on staff that works for free.

Illiterati is a plural form, you probably meant illiteratus.

Nice bowling shoes, btw.

Spoiler

I know it quite doesn't have a single form (in English), also he ignores me
Just wanted to talk about shoes
