I've seen so many of Fantadomat's posts that I've come to associate the Thief 2 cover art with him, and whenever I see it I imagine Garrett speaking in slightly broken English about fags and trannies

Codexers ruin many a character with their avatars.

Many of us felt the same way about Kaiserin and SMA using VV and Kaelyn the Dove avatars back in the day.

Certainly adds a new aspect to those characters anyhow.

RPGs are now for validating the concerns of the marginalized

As they were always

Back in the day you didn't need to dress like a woman to be marginalized. All it took was being a nerd.

What is the difference? Nerds tend to end up as faggot trannies that like to dress like women.

so what color is your favorite dress of choice for browsing rpgcodex? Mine is salmon pink.

I can't ever see this guy anymore without going "behead all muslims, including their women and children"

At least my current avatar is obscure enough.

phillyd wants to see your boobs, will you comply or be forced to watch his show for all time?

Oh no, Fantadomat's posts have improved my opinion of the Thief games. Slavic Garrett is practically my headcanon now.

Truth in advertising.

I joined in 2007, because I thought it was a gaming discussion forum. It mostly was.

There was enough jank then that I self-ejected almost immediately, yet years later frustrated with moderation from some developer forums, I came back... and the answer to that question, like the voting in this poll, was ???

Truth in advertising.

Also, for those with wrinkles in their grey matter, these options are not mutually exclusive.

Australia will introduce legislation to make social media giants provide details of users who post defamatory comments, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Sunday.

The government has been looking at the extent of the responsibility of platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, for defamatory material published on their sites and comes after the country's highest court ruled that publishers can be held liable for public comments on online forums.

The ruling caused some news companies like CNN to deny Australians access to their Facebook pages.

"The online world should not be a wild west where bots and bigots and trolls and others are anonymously going around and can harm people," Morrison said at a televised press briefing. "That is not what can happen in the real world, and there is no case for it to be able to be happening in the digital world."

The new legislation will introduce a complaints mechanism, so that if somebody thinks they are being defamed, bullied or attacked on social media, they will be able to require the platform to take the material down.

If the content is not withdrawn, a court process could force a social media platform to provide details of the commenter.

"Digital platforms - these online companies - must have proper processes to enable the takedown of this content," Morrison said.

"They have created the space and they need to make it safe, and if they won't, we will make them (through) laws such as this."

Is this all because someone cyberbullied him for speaking in tongues?

Australia to introduce new laws to force media platforms to unmask online trolls

Unmasking online trolls, what the hell are they thinking?

Don't they know there's a pandemic on?

The internet may not always be the most tasteful of places, but not safe? What's going to happen to you there considering that they're not addressing scammers, identity theft, or financial crime which are areas where the internet can actually expose you to harm?

Oh no, some Codexers think I'm a moron. I have experienced egregious harms to my sense of self!

I guess it was only a matter of time in a world that requires labels to remind idiots not to eat paint.

I suppose it's to censor anti-LGBTQ, anti-democratic and anti-Soros opinions.

 

[Kruno]

yeah Codex should be a fitness site

i was about to buy heavier dumbbells, > 30Kg each, until I realised I can actually do a lot more with bands like combine them, and grip them closer to the bottom for more stress
seems to be a good stop gap for now

We don't actually live in a world that requires labels like that. At least, not to prevent significant injury. We live in a world where corporate lawyers fear there is a nonzero chance of a moron who manages to hurt themselves doing something ridiculously stupid, like self dentistry with a power drill, being able to convince 12 people that it was a corporation's fault he did that stupid thing.

It's not necessarily that people are THAT stupid. The problem is, we can be convinced that it's reasonable to expect to be able to survive while being that stupid. If a jury hears a moron drank a gallon of paint then died, their response should be "Good, one less moron" not "This is all the fault of Big Paint!!!"

DarkUnderlord Taluntain Is there a plan B if Xenforo revokes the Codex's license as well?

Could always just do a Fediverse site. Wouldn't be the same though, as I don't think any of them are doing forums yet.

That's what the site owner of kiwifarms is doing as well, btw:

With #3 I am subscribed to 0day trackers so if something compromises the version of the software we're on I will find a way to patch it out. Don't want to say much more than that.

Yeah, but for the time being, he plans to just use it as is and pirate any necessary updates.

 

[Taluntain]

XenForo discontinued our license.

View attachment 21847

The results of this decision are:
1. We can continue using the software, as it is, indefinitely.
2. I will no longer receive customer support.
3. I will not get updates to the software.

Suffice it to say, it wouldn't kill the Codex.
