RPGDot pulls the 'A Fond Farewell and New Beginnings' thread
October 19th, 2006, 13:33
Yeah, that freaked me out, too. We need a way to spread the word to others who don't know…

That was to be expected and is called damage control. I would have done the same, really.

True enough - I posted for informational purposes. The post there was respectful, but still it was inevitable that it would be pulled.

That one was from an outside source and the (then) mods and admins allowed it. The new one was almost the entire RPGDot Staff posting an item that more or less implied 'farewall and thanks for the hassles, we'd rather pay than deal with you for free'.
That aside, if *you* owned the RPGDot site, would you want a bolded post stating that the staff had left?

Bart and Corwin should just admit that when it gets down to it, I will have the final say.

Are you implying I'm in the closet?
I figure I'm in a slightly better position to act with impunity, so I'll make sure the word continues to get out one way or another.

Sorry. No pearls of wisdom in this oyster.

Try to write "RPGwatch" on the RPGDot forum, post the reply or topic and prepare for a surprise…

. They cannot auto-censor urls, however. The word censor can change the name of a link, but not the url… at least it could not while I was trying.

So, the *entire* staff packed up and left?
One has to wonder what the reason was…
Anyway, do you have any clue as to what will happen with the original website? Will it be maintained, or… ?
Congrats on the new site, by the way. It looks pretty good. Hopefully this will expand further quickly so it may rival the original one.

Links get auto-censored into www.rpgdot.com too, but I made a fix:

I experimented with the word censor myself to get rid of some of the gold spambots, but all I ended up with were links saying 'Cucumber Farm' which still led to gold-selling sites when clicked. So the link text might have been censored while the link still did what it was supposed to do.
