Huzzah to the good ol' days!
Somebody who joined earlier than me and has stayed/not been banned?
That seems rare!
There are plenty of oldies, it's just a majority of them are in certain groups, resting/hiding, only commenting on the occasional thing.

Yeah, ever since I made the original comment, they all seem to be quoting me.
Now I seem like a pillock! Woo!

It's okay gramps, you're old! We can pass it off as a disease or maybe your reading glasses fell off!

Well I am glad you enjoy it here. Although just because you are a senior member doesn't mean you get to be cool unfortunately as I doubt many here know for good reasons more just recognise me. I find however, that the general forums have become a bit of a sad place at least to me as I remember plenty golden oldies that have been banned and anyone else senior that has not been banned mostly just stick to user groups rather than post in gaming and off topic. Threads like this attract them out of the woodwork though.

At least we seem to be done with the massive wave of repeat and similar threads of this year though and while it is good less peopel go on about the search bar some still need to use it more.

I've been here for a bit of time now, and I don't regret spending a second.

The forums keep me here, it's a lovely place.

I love it here. Sure it was better before, but the people are still some of the most insightful on the internet. Thanks guys, you make me proud to be a mod!

The fact that there are barely any bronies
The consistently good discussion
The community
The content


I'm drawing a blank here.
Yeah, we really have nothing of any value here...

That is why it is the top 4000 sites in the world...
A better question would be, If he doesn't like anything here... then who was phone!

I have only been posting on these forums a short while but I really like it :) People are friendly and the subject matter is fun.

I came here after I saw Extra Credits move from youtube to this site.
I was interested and browsed a bit and then I decided to join. I only been here a couple of months but I already feel that this website is one of the safe havens on the internet where (most) people can have a good discussion.

People on here are great :)
Some people are creepy however
Bronies come to mind
Can't quite tell if you're being serious
OP: My favourite thing about the escapist is the MLP:FiM usergroup, I was welcomed with open arms and everypony there is really nice :D

Pah! I was too cool to make an account back then. You youngin's have it better these days! Back in my day MaxtheReaper was just an unknown!
I still talk to him on Twitter. And by 'talk to' I mean 'annoy'.

I was being serious lol
Cant tell if your MLP bit is serious or just because of my comment

Seems we have formed some kind of loop lol
XD Indeed we have, I was serious about the MLP, but if I hadn't seen your comment I probably wouldn't have posted...

Somehow, in two years of posting here, I don't seem to have made much contact with the site's members...

I've not spent much time in the user groups, so I suppose that's a reason, but I just don't feel like I've made any real friendships off here. I've never heard the voice of anyone I've met on here, for example (except in accent videos).

Oh well. It's still a nice place to waste time on.

Its been nearly two years. Not that spectacular compared to others, but I've been here longer than a bunch.

Not many unique things about the Escapist. I guess the big one right now is Critical Miss.

MactheReapers... the depressed emo kid with too much time on his hand that was begging for attention? Yeah, I don't miss him/her/it.
Yeah, just seemed to hate on FPSs to get people angry for no real reason.
Also, turns out it's MaxtheReaper, made a typo that I didn't notice.
Considering that he came back from banning more then once (or so the story goes) I wouldn't be surprised if he was mac at one point. (he might even be here right now *shudder*).

Oh god, I remember MactheReaper. One of the people that could be an utter asshole, yet still make amazing points and manage to be hilarious.

Today, it's hard to see anyone like that on here.
It was MaxTheReaper.
I've been here for more than two years, and it's starting to wear a bit thin. Maybe it's because I've gotten older, but the majority of threads these days seem to be immature, nerdy tripe. That said, people are still pretty nice here. Group hug.
What was Max banned for again? I saw all these posts of people complaining but I didn't know I was supposed to care.

My favorite thing about the Escapist is either A: Being able to argue without raging and being at least a bit polite or B: The threads where people freak out and actually DO start raging. I never post in them but it's hilarious to read.
