RIP codex ?

Have you seen this ?
Aparently the site gone for good, anybody knows what happened ?

[ZIGS]

Why is it signed gog.com and then crossed? This smells fishy and it's not just my underwear

[mr.doo]

Actually, with a bit of investigation I came across this:

Read gog's farewell message and compare it with the one in the codex. I am now 99% sure this is some sort of lame joke.

It's fun to see people getting trolled this hard publicly. I hope this thread never ever gets deleted.

[mr.doo]

Yes because I'm guessing the exact moment you finished reading the message on the frontpage you remembered gog's farewell letter and immediately associated with it, right ?
Because if you don't, that makes us at least two morons.

So are they 3-4 months behind the rest of the internet/world?
That's like me saying to go here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ - because it's totally cool and relevant yo!

the RPGwatch's refugee thread is good for some dinner entertainment.

Reading that thread makes me grateful for the RPS forums.

I couldn't make it past two pages.

Indeed, Painful stuff.

At least they (sort of) know what an RPG is. That's one pretty significant redeeming quality.

Do they? I've always been under the impression that it's more a case of endless rounds of 'That's not a RPG!!!' rather than any unified grounded position tbh.

I'd rather be happy in ignorance than bitter in understanding.

But it's too late for some people. It's sort of like a homeless shelter.

I love the internets.

Honestly, although I don't remember that letter exactly, the somewhat daft way things are said in the above post did make me immediately think of the GoG stunt.

Of course it is. They are updating the forum software.

Perhaps they do. The sad thing is they then use that knowledge to rid themselves of any potential to have fun with any game that says it's an RPG and isn't.

I mean, there are people out there that only do it missionary-style because that's the 'right' way to have sex. And in some ways the weight of tradition means they could be sort of right. And one should respect their view. They are, however, totally missing out.

Have you checked out any of the sub-forums outside of General RPG Discussion such as the strategy, adventure and general gaming sub-forums? People there love as wide a variety of games as people do here.

I only played Planescape because of RPGCodex, so I'm pretty happy with the site.

Once you've seen people dance around in clown suits it's hard to take them seriously elsewhere tbh.
