You constantly abuse your mod privileges by stealthily editing my posts to introduce misspellings into them, lying turd.

Can i get 500 bucks out of the deal King Crispy? Need for my cats vet fund.
I'm not sure why he started RPGHQ in the first place, but for a while he was posting both here and there. Then, he tried to get smart with DarkUnderlord and promptly got banned for a couple of weeks. He's so butthurt about this that he doesn't post here anymore except in rare cases. From my point of view that's a big win for everyone.So Rusty is gone because he made a Codex clone?I just checked and it's pretty much the exact same categories and all. And he's the OP of half of the threads.

Rusty waiting for DU's apology as the shoutbox suicide squad lay waste to his forum:

An official apology has already been vetted by legal parties and posted. Rusty is just having trouble getting passed 2FA.

It is that Infinitron began splitting off gamergate/culture war related conversations from the game threads to GD/Politics. That is it.
The chat log isn't really an expose and doesn't contain new information though, as we already knew that. It was discussed at the time it became the moderation policy.

It was fine until he started to go nuts with the idea that we needed to censor in order to keep developers coming to visit this prestigious magazine.
DU had the right instincts there. The pendulum would have just kept swinging left, and bigger sites still would have eaten the traffic. Devs would have left anyway. Eventually, it would have just turned into a ghost town like RPGWatch.
The Watch isn't a ghost town, it's got an active forum community, albeit a much smaller one than the Codex. But that's understandable as it attracts a different audience. Politics, religion, conspiracy theories etc. which form the majority of the Codex discussion today are hardly discussed on the Watch. We don't have hundreds of drama threads spanning dozens of pages either. The overwhelming majority of active discussions are about gaming news and actual gameplay (how quaint, I know). So anyone actually wanting to discuss games will find a lot to like on the Watch. But anyone who comes in for everything but the games, I'm sure will be disappointed by how small a part of the Watch community cares about those discussions.

This sounds a lot incline to me.
"hey codex, how's game X play? is the story good? combat mechanics something worth spending time with?"
there will be like, two answers, one set arguing whether the game's raison d'etre is incline or decline; the other overwhelming set will be telling the rest that the game sucks because they're offended the pc can choose a pronoun or something along those lines regardless of quality of the game itself. idgaf about that, i just want to know whether this game i'm about to spend five bucks on is gonna be worthy of mine ten minutes. but it's the internet, and this place is popular, edgelords and idiots, hand in hand circle-jerking ad nauseum. i'll show myself out lol.

It is reversed reset era at this point. No more a gaming site but an activist site for social justice warriors in denial. I think i will try to join rpg watch if what talunian said is true sounds like the perfect place to be."hey codex, how's game X play? is the story good? combat mechanics something worth spending time with?"

Man, it's been a long time since the good old days when we sent Flying Dick Squadrons to our rival sites and used to redirect our undesirables to RPG Watch (it was called being "Watchwitzed").
Now, instead, we just buy our rival sites then actively advertise them here.
We've become Microsoft.

I've taken over the Watch a year ago when Myrthos stepped down, to prevent it from closing down.
