Speaking for the Codex, I have been authorized to announce that any mention of the ESF on these forums will be used to make fun of their bafflingly incompetent moderators.

Pssst...

It's an order from the HIGH RANKS. Top of the ladder.

CODEXERS! They are onto us. Never face a door with your back.

Absolutely hilarious. Could it be Bethesda is actually AFRAID of the Codex?

You know, this isn't bad news post material. Censoring links could be half-way justified, but the mere mention of the site... Pretty bad stuff. The issue deserves some airing.

Except we don't have the thread. If someone had saved it, we could stick it up over here and then make a news post.

It'd be like Rex vs Grimoire all over again. :revolution:

No, it's better to have this as something we keep in our back pocket and pull out to chuckle about every now and then. Let the gay drama stay on their end.

You are all RPG TERRORISTS!!!

Hahaha, this is beautiful!

I can just image their little board meeting discussing how the RPG Codex is potentially damaging to their revenue and how it is in their best interest to keep the lines to us severed.

Sucks for them that they can't keep all potential customers from seeing the truth we so aggressively bring to light.

It makes me feel like I'm a part of something special... *sniffle* :twisted:

I'm prolly the last person to notice this, as I haven't posted on ESF recently. Try typing in "RPGcodex" or "RPG Codex" into a post and their bad-word filter changes it to "I love Oblivion" and "I really love Oblivion". Talk about a paranoid bunch of self-delusional idiots. Wow. That's really the last straw for me. I don't care if they finally release the tools I want, or if the entire modding scene goes through a revival, I'm never posting there again.

So you reckon the whole concept was authorised from someone at the top of Bethesda or was just a side project of the moderators?

Since we all know Todd screams "BOOBIES!!1" when exposed to nude breasts, this behavior doesn't seem too out of character.

I think they consider the Codex negative press which hurts sales if only just a little.

They don't like us and I'd be utterly shocked if they didn't make Fallout 3 as "Oblivion With Guns" just to spite this website.

Apparently, the "I love Oblivion" in place of "RPGCodex" stuff is true. I just tested it, though any forum veteran knows how to get around that crap. :cool:

Well that's it. I'm done with the ESForums. I'm only going to go there, every once in awhile, to have a few laughs at the Emo threads that get posted Daily in the Community Discussion.

C'mon. Fess up.

Yeah, that's why we have forums devoted to those other genres. It's not because we actually play those games and discuss them as well, it's because we really hate them and lay in wait for someone to post in them so we can attack.
