Firstly, I can tell very easily that the general layout and look of the sight has changed. Secondly, I know the new, updated rules for posting so i need not be told them again. I'm talking of specifics. What great posters have left, who's been banned, why, what new video series should I check out and anything else that you think someone who has been off the forums for around 15 months should know.

I will thank you in advance because I know you guys are good. So ta muchly.

I am now your Lord and Saviour.

Do not heed anyone speaking the contrary, for they are smelly and lack acceptable table manners.

True story.

Hey, I think I might remember you. Your Dilbert dog avatar looks familiar :D

The Escapist has gone through some major topic trends recently, so you want to avoid making threads about the following:

1. Rape in games
2. Sexism in games
3. The place of women in gaming and geek culture
4. Mass Effect 3

...Hm...I feel like there's one more, but I can't think of it now. But yeah, welcome back, and please for the love of God do not bring up any of these topics :3

Make sure to catch up on the latest Feed Dump videos, especially Girls Dump(That's really its name). Beside that not much else. There was a user called Zeel who was banned but I'm not sure if you were there for that.

Nothing much.

The special topics of the month are sexism in games and the word "rape". Oh, and if you see a thread saying "delete me" or something along those lines get in it and post all the gifs! Which also reminds me, there's a bit of a Fillion phase going on but it's dying down, sort of.

Awesome! I think I remember seeing your name about the place, so either I was your stalker or your arch nemesis. Your choice.

Despite the...odd introduction, Daystar is a regular here on the foruns. And he always has something useful to say. I can say the same about Matt94.

Anyway, here's some general stuff.

1)People love Jim sterling now (Dont ask me how that happened)

2)When a controversial topic comes up, there will be dozens of threads on for weeks until the subject is run into the ground.

3) Trolls can not be defeated.

4)Get use to the layout of the site being changed to something worse and no one doing anything about it.

5) Most importantly, do not EVER talk about, or make threads about ponies. You will be flamed on site.

Daystar has risen to power as an awesome guy, obviously, with his Brovengers (a group I dream of joining), but has rivals in PsychicTaco115's Injustice League. Internet super-troll Zeel came and went. Many forum upgrades occured. I showed up. The scourge Danyal got banned then unbanned. Many great users got banned or left. Shows died, others showed up. Stolen Pixels is over, NameGame premered but has it's own site now. Extra Credits left after a scuffle with the staff. Yahtzee feels a little less edgy and funny, but is still strong. The cycle will march on.

Enjoy!

Also, I assume your a Dilbert fan like me!

The false prophet rears its foul head.

Don't listen to her. She is a woman, and if the forums are to be believed, she is a foul temptress, who shall lead you to sin.
