RPGWatch was going to shut down - taken over by Taluntain instead!

What are we discussing again? I skimmed the seven pages of the bye-bye thread over there. How much moderation is over there? Were posts erased, posts edited by mods, posters temp/perma banned, ip locked out? Were/are certain opinions NOT allowed?

I read through their forum rules, and something as tame as disagreeing with gay marriage on religious grounds would mean a ban.

I disagree with gay marriage on the grounds that gay people are gross

just realized a bunch of non-americans love fallout because they thought it was anti-capitalist lol

 

[Humbaba]

fallout was a critique of communists always flipping over the table when they're losing

just realized a bunch of non-americans love fallout because they thought it was anti-capitalist lol

It's both

nope, it's a commentary on how based capitalism is that it lets you have fucking power armor

if you can't see that it's probably because you're a disgusting turd worlder

Mods, Fallout's central themes discussion thread STAT

everything bad that happens in fallout happens because the commies invade america to steal their resources though, I have no idea where people get this revisionist shit from

• 2066 Spring As the oil resources dry up across the globe, China's fossil fuel dependency causes an energy crisis in the nation. China, bordering on collapse, becomes more aggressive in its trade talks with the United States. Unwilling to export oil to China, talks between the United States and China break down.
• 2066 Summer Adding further insult to the Chinese-American relations, the first crude fusion cell is unveiled, one of the results of the Power Armor project. Devices designed for the fusion cell begin to be manufactured. Incorporating fusion power into the general US infrastructure begins, but the process is too slow to supply power to the regions that need it. Nearly thirteen years later, few sections of the United States were supplied with fusion power.
• 2066 Winter In the winter of 2066, China invades Alaska. The Anchorage Front Line becomes a true battleground.

In the opening video you see an American soldier execute a Canadian POW and happily wave to the camera, that means America bad.

can you explain how that's a bad thing?

Is it established somewhere if power armors are build by private company or government owned armory?

 

[Humbaba]

And here I thought that Fallout was about survival and rebuilding and like what that means for humanity, man.

Power armor is a personal infantry combat technology developed before the Great War by United States defense contractors.

Both.
ZAX:

In 2069, West Tech was the single largest contractor for the United States government; its largest contract being Powered Infantry Armor Model T-51b.

You were doing good, but then you got to this.

Yeah. It is cool wasteland.

 

[King Crispy]

Even our thread about their closing down is growing faster than their thread about closing down. When we finally close down our thread about closing down will grow so fast that we'll be forced to close down.

Anyway,

 

[Humbaba]

But we didn't do anything

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

I thought Fallout was about looking for Fargo or that sweet bbgun.

Now its a page count/post count race?

I remember thinking "WTF is RPGWatch" whenever I first heard it here. I was surprised at how dead it was when I went to check what it was. Make no mistake, this was a while coming. For such a general forum to be so dead, it was a clear sign it wasn't long for the world.

 

[Scruffy]

RPGWatch closes down, and yet we endure. As in real life, the bad guys win.

 

[S.torch]

Is cool to be the bad guy then

Time for you and Crispy to take a retirement tour at the glue factory.

 

[Pladio]

Oh fuck that!

Sooooooo..... maybe not moderate over there and beg for cash and it can stay open? Sounds like an easy fix. Not that I care....

Not the reason it's closing :D
Owner tired of administering the site.

For once you say something agreeable.
