Your friend most likely found one of the thousands of available pirated RPG scans that have been available for years via p2p networks and other sources. Virtually any RPG (including many from defunct small / indie producers from the late 70's & 80's) can be found if you have no moral qualms about using them. I'm not advocating this, just pointing out that the scans are out there and readily available while I don't think most of the titles in WoC's DRM protected release are (yet).
In what way is a gay friendly guild promoting hate mongering? The only thing promoting harassment is the bigotry of the small-minded dimwits that would react that way. The fear of retalliation from homophobes is no reason to block like-minded people from organizing or advertising their existance.
Yeah, I have been following BS's deployment schedule for a while now. DSL was deployed to our CO last fall, however my neighborhood suffers from some undisclosed facilities issue that prevents me from getting service in my home. Supposedly they're working to correct the problem. Some friends one block down the street have DSL and are much happier with the service than they were with Charter. They use Telocity because they heard that BS sucks.
Until very recently, my cable modem service provider (Charter) had a couple thousand customers sharing a single T1 on the head that services my home. In the evenings, the service was completely unuseable (below 20kbps). Charter credited my account for several months to make up for my inconvenience. While waiting for it to be resolved, I frequently used an AT&T dial up account. They've recently installed a T3 to service our head,and the speed issues have largely gone away. Unfortunately, I'm still dealing with frequent service interruptions that leave me off the net for hours at a time.
Charter was obviously only concerned about getting a couple thousand paying customers lined up, and could care less that their infrastructure was incapable of handling the load. If only Bellsouth would get off of their dead asses and get the infrastructure in place for dsl to my home.
