Oops! I think I killed rpg.net

[Mark CMG]

I have posted there more since the separation of the d20 forum. It is easier for me to find things that interest me (d20) and I do not have to scroll through as many pages searching for threads on d20 if I do not get over there for a few days. Is it a lot more work for those with mixed interests to look through two forums? I also see a lot less sniping against d20 as those who used to just click a thread and take a shot now would need to go to the new forum to do so.

My point exactly. It has made rpg.net far more usable to me while still finding stuff about other games as well.

(un)reason is on the money too about Palladium. I admit I've never played it, but man, that company gets a lot of bile. And much of it is ad hominem attacks against Kevin and/or Maryanne. Don't know what those two did, but they sure p.o.'d a lot of people.

Nothing wrong with RPG.net; in fact, there's a lot of discussion there that's very relevant to me because I play things other than d20. But I stick around EN World because I prefer the stricter moderation and forum rules. Mods are really good here about quashing flamewars, in my experience.

If the RPGnet d20 forum is a ghetto, it's a very sneaky one indeed.

I for one am always happy to see RPG.net folk over here. They've been gracious about letting us post about our board problems many, many times in the past.

Feel free to use RPG FunZone for posting EnWorld news if need be.

I'm naturaltwenty here - and naturaltwenty there (rpg.net) and I've never been harassed for my login (of which I've owned the domain name pre-2000 and the whole d20 hubbub).

Since rpg.net's been down I've actually gotten more work done .

I don't really like the forum seperation, as I've found the d20/Dungeons & Dragons really equates to Dungeons & Dragons. I play C&C but have found it harder since the seperation to discuss C&C without someone who thinks D&D is a superior system breaking in to "enlighten" those who are interested or prefer other d20 systems. In fact I've noticed way less threas about anything d20 except D&D. It's annoying and I have slowly started to ignore that section of the forums. YMMV of course.

That's right. I don't need rpg.net to become "EN World II" because of their new D&D subforum. I always liked rpg.net for the different mix of ideas you get there. Despite people like walkerpc, or what his name was .

 

[Evilhalfling]

you mean RPG.net has threads other than Tangency cliff notes and motivational posters?
I average 1 post a year over there, and stay well away from the gaming threads, really its all about the flame wars.

 

[Akrasia]

... really its all about the flame wars.

No.
