    I may have friended some people. You might be one of them. I'm serious.

    You know, I've never really thought much of forum "friend" lists. To me, it's generally assumed that if you're adding me, you've got some reason for it. I like to think it's because of my [admittedly rare] posts. And, generally, I'm aware of what these reasons are. However, on the off-chance...

    This just in: Facebook still 'evil'!

    Out of curiosity, what do you mean by the bolded part? Would you happen to have any sort of citation for this? I'm wondering, specifically, what you mean by "fluff" on accounts. I was aware of the naming policy and so on. OT: While I'm not surpised that Facebook is doing this, they seem to...

    Can I flag my own posts?

    Yes, it is possible to report one's own posts. It is, however, more helpful if you edit the second post to something along the lines of "Double post" or "Please delete" prior to reporting the post. That way the reason for the report is evident much faster. Alternatively, you could PM a...

    How not to get banned.

    Technically, the system does have a way for "forgiving" people. Also in the Code of Conduct [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/codeofconduct]: As it stands, you're also no longer on your last legs, thanks to the amnesty system. Just this past week you were lowered by one notch, thus...

    How not to get banned.

    Look. In the end, you're a visitor to this site. If you don't like the rules, you're welcome to not visit this place. You are quite perfectly allowed to come up with what you may think are better rules for the staff to look over, in an attempt to improve the site; constructive criticism is...

    A quick question about your friends

    First off, let me state that I don't deal with skin colour. As in to say, my mind can't compute it. A person is a person to me. It usually takes me quite a while to figure out questions like this. As in, I'd normally go "Oh, my friends are predominantly white." And then I'd think about it...

    Name as many Escapists as you can from the top of your head

    Whilst I am, yes, a moderator, I remain a member of the community like yourself. As such, I know of people who've never done anything wrong; people with awesome avatars, people with interesting names or titles, people who have excellent posts in threads. So I have as much reason to remember...

    Name as many Escapists as you can from the top of your head

    Although the "final stats" are up, it's not too late to post, is it? Etc, etc, the list goes on. I believe I've made my point. All of you. I remember you all. I know you all. I'm always watching. This is where you should begin to regret forgetting about me. Especially with me being one...

    The escapists menu doesn't work anymore.

    That's a bit odd, frankly, since you are the first person I've heard complain about issues with the menu bar. However, making a forum thread is not usually the way to make your issues heard when it comes to tech problems you're having with the site. Usually tech issues are brought up here...

    don't read

    Oh gods, I've been waiting for this day. FREE CANDY. FREE CANDY FOR EVERYONE. This is, like, dream come true, man. I'm so happy.

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    It's a bit of a stretch for me, but it wouldn't happen to be Broderbund's Write, Camera, Action, would it? The storyline for the movie, if I remember correctly, was some woman's cat was missing, and the detective had to go find him. The movie might have been called "The Case of the Maltese...

    Strange Glitch on The Escapist? (Attention Whore moment. :D)

    With you having said that, I have taken it upon myself to quote you where you've not been an asshat, so you will have, at least once, gotten a quote notification in which it's a friendly note. [Insert friendly note here, smiley-emote optional.] On topic: In my years here, I've never had...

    Other People's Criticism of you!

    You know, strangely enough, most people complain about my lack of physics. For example: "You can't be a flame made of water!" "You know what? Your entire being is completely physically impossible." "How can you be water-fire? I don't understand what's going on." All perfectly common...

    Poll: Which browser should I use?

    Okay, you're looking at browsers. Let me add in my two cents: IE [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/products/ie/home] - Sucks, if you're using IE5, IE6, IE7. It got a bit better in IE8, but was still questionable. With IE9 things are looking pretty decent, though...

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    That sounds to me a bit like Black & White [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_%28video_game%29]... Although the animals in it were cow, tiger and gorilla. Since you're talking about recently, it may have been Black & White 2 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_%26_White_2], which...
