The main issue I see with this is that all it would take to get this entire place shut down would be one jackass from 4chan/Encyclopedia Dramatica that sees that post and decides to run with it. One troll. Boom. No more subforum.
I rather doubt we can debate this point, though...
MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWe would need a forum appropriate for roleplaying, with the suitable features like coloured text and such. It would need moderators and such for order.
I'm certainly hoping that this is a last resort measure and that the RP threads remain as they are.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Honestly, I think this is a bit of an overreaction. Low as my faith in the community is, I don't think anybody would try and pull pedo stuff in a public space like this.
The example he used was "lusty ten year old", for fuck's sake.

Perhaps this is a way of ensuring our vigilance, helping the mods with the threat of losing it all if we hesitate.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Welp, this gives me good reason to update my archive of We Are All Pokemon Trainers…
So long as this doesn't become a witch hunt, I'd say that running with business as usual, thumping appropriate posts, and keeping everything clean would do wonders to improve Fast Eddie's confidence in the subforum.
Fixed Profile pageIf anyone wants to archive any games for future reference, this could come in handy.
He's doing this because he's wanted to get rid of this subforum for a long time.

Because now our main concern is trolls seeing that post and doing things to deliberately get the forum nuked. And I rather doubt Eddie will sympathise.

MY SOUL IS DARK BUT MY HAIR IS COLORFUL — Brahian Pokémon AlchemistWhoa, what?
I need to see this thread, man. On the off chance that it wasn't wiped from the face of the earth.

"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probablyMaybe making it Forum policy that every character must be over 16 to be approved? I really hate to say it. It's a really limiting thing but it's the only thing we can do that would send Eddie the message that we're trying all we can to prevent this kind of creepiness? Anyone that violates that rule would be proven to be a troll or someone so foolish as to not read the rules at all.
The Crystal Caverns A bird's gotta sing.

Don't know if I have the right to make this or not, but it needs to be made by someone. Everyone is freaked out and discussion is scattered, and we need to think coherently about this.
