Tacticular Cancer: We'll have your balls

  1. Having trouble staying logged in? Note: We are rpgcodex.NET not .COM. Trying to login via .com will cause issues. Make sure you are on rpgcodex.net to login and all will be fine.

    And if the Password Recovery doesn't work (there was an error transitioning accounts during the upgrade), use the "contact us" link right down the bottom right of the forums and harass us about it. Include your account name and its e-mail address (or whatever parts of it you remember).

    "This message is awaiting moderator approval": All new users must pass through our moderation queue before they will be able to post normally. Until your account has "passed" your posts will only be visible to yourself (and moderators) until they are approved. Give us a week to get around to approving / deleting / ignoring your mundane opinion on crap before hassling us about it. Once you have passed the moderation period (think of it as a test), you will be able to post normally, just like all the other retards.

RPGCodex needs an acronym

    Whenever I'm referring to this fine institution (hey, why not?) someplace else, I find myself typing out the whole RPG Codex. This kinda bugs me. Most sites have a handy acronym that refers to them. Duck and Cover has DAC. Terra-Arcanum has TA. The Interplay boards have IPLY. For RPG Codex, nothing really springs to mind. RPG doesn't work, RC neither. We need to find something that works. Please, nine characters is too many!

    I don't like RPGC either. Sounds like an authoring language.

    The only sites with Codex in their name are Myth sites and they're long gone, thanks to the disaster that was Myth 3.

    Codex is a fine name, it's nice, it has a ring, it speaks of ancient annals, of things long forgotten ( that unfortunately include a fine art of role-playing these days ) and of efforts of a handful of people trying to preserve the ancient teaching of choices and consequences thereof. It's a fitting name. :)

    I'd suggest Rx personally. I quote :

    The second is pretty much the way I feel about role playing at the moment.

    A solution for a problem....it's nice, it's simple, it's deep, I like it :) The only thing, Rx does not have a good sound. How about Rex or C-Rex - King Codex? :D All in favour say aye.

    No Rex. It'll remind people of Exitium.

    The pronunciation would be "ahr-ex" rather than rex (wrecks.) I pretty much just use the full RPGCodex when referring to the site, not being averse to typing. (Although this post would slightly disprove that statement.)

    Oh, and is it just me or is the "edit" function not working in the "site feedback" section? Since the update I've edited posts elsewhere but can't seem to here.
