Of the WotC Forums and the OTT

[Klirshon]

They did give an explaination, though it was just a "we reserve the rights to terminate accounts at our discretion" clause.

Huh, that all sucks.

Let WotC die off.
Not many people left that give a crap about them or their crappy products.

Well, when 5e eventually hits the market, that will determine how true your statement actually is about how many people care about their products.

Hrm, it's funny that the five Similar Threads to this are "The WotC Forums Are Down". All different threads, spanning from 2004 through 2012.

Dang, no love... AFAIK, both EnWorld and Paizo have no problems with Alts.

Our normal policy is this: We don't mind alts, so long as they are not used to get around bans, to deceive people, or otherwise be a jerk.

Well, one of my players finally found where the play-by-post threads were moved to.
Sadly, by yielding to democracy, the majority of players wanted to move to Myth-weavers, so that is where my games are. I like the layout and group here (especially with the dark display option).

Well, yeah, of course! I do remember a couple of instances where people using alts caused trouble. And one instance where someone had like 20 alts and decided at a certain point to have conversations with himself...

Fair enough.
But keep in mind that people "caring" and people buying something simply through name recognition are entirely separate.

WotC could put "Dungeons & Dragons" on boxes full of feces and still sell them for $25 a piece.

Hmmm....
Reminds me of somebody... Communist Dog and W.S. Lawyer come to mind...

Yup. In fact, our longest, busiest threads are about the development of 5E. People certainly care; anyone who thinks otherwise isn't paying attention.
