Well I've finally readjusted my life to living post "ALL HAIL PRESIDENT TRUMP". Oh wait, I haven't had a problem with that EVER! Especially because there is this thread which has been even more amusing.

Seriously, I believe that our lives have been improved! Thank you GGG! I hope that we all can eventually come to that conclusion.

I for one miss it. It gave me more than enough cringe, chuckle and rage inducing moments to last the day. Now all i have is General Discussion and that's mainly just awash with a metric butt ton of whining.

I think we went down in OT from roughly 490 post's in a week to around 100 in a week, i reckon that's a success for a forum board.

Peace,

There was a Code of Conduct change!? Anyone got a summary of the changes? I hate it when companies change their policies and don't include a summary.

Yeah, off-topic is a shell of itself now, so I suppose you are right, it accomplished what it was meant to do.

I guess congrats GGG?

The irony of claiming/stating that people leave the forums and dont post if the topics are inflammatory, only to have a dramatic abandonment of the entire index once you updated the CoC.

80% reduction in postings...kudos, I hope support staff experienced an 80% improvement of their mental health.

Reading the code of conduct I liked this one.

Reference explicit or illegal material

I think they mean one cannot reference sexually explicit material. But it is amusing to think it means one must only reference ambiguous material.

Much wider scope than that. It probably mean violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language that are not suitable for minor. Those usual stuff.

Yeah, the kind of stuff featured (including an account of sexual violence) in the game itself. =9[.]9=

A grim, violent role-playing game promoting loot and exploration, with explicit sexual content that little kids are playing. If you rate the game strictly, it would receive a mature rating but that rating is generally meaningless. The game is openly and easily available.

If the players are underage, they are suppose to get parent consent, but you know kids don't really ask. It is for the sake of appearances, it's for show. Technically there is no age restriction.

Why would you write the opposite of the truth?

Technically, there is an age restriction it's just not enforceable in practice.

And people pretending to be older are violating the terms of agreement and therefore forfeit their rights to hold GGG accountable.(as if that would be possible in practice)
