Did MaxTheReaper leave in the past six months?

That's the only thing I've really noticed.
Has Max stopped posting? Wow he was one of the most prominent members when I stopped.
Yeah, he got banned.

Also, the Escapist introduced the "Publishers Club"

Caused quite a bit of controversy for some reason. Essentially you can pay $20 to the site and in return you get a custom title, don't see any ads, get access to an exclusive Pubclub forum(Its like off-topic, only with more discussion), high quality videos, and a few other negligible things.

Also, we got some new shows. Doraleous and Associates premiered, and its awesome. We now have Extra Credis, which is absolutely amazing and offers some very in-depth discussion to the gaming world. We have Game Dogs, which is hit-or-miss for most. And a few others.

And we have user groups, which are like little clubhouses and each one is for a particular game/genre/tv show/movie/band/ect.

Pretty much that ^ Also people dislike Moviebob for some reason :\
Do they? But he's so funny and I can't think of any review recently that's pushed buttons.
I don't know. Something about an action movie he didn't like and people went all crazy.
People are pissed at that because he basically called everyone who went to see it brainless sheep who are damaging the movie industry. I also took offence to this, because if you give anyone the choice to go see a movie with every action star ever or a movie with Micheal Cera and chances are they're going to go for the one with every action star.

Actually he and NoMoreSanity were banned a while back. It was kind of odd. Oh! Also we added a bunch more Red Guards to help fight off trolls and the likes.

Most of the reconizable people have been banned, people are QQing over Moviebob stating his opinion on a movie, new shows, publisher's club, nothing much really.

Really? I've always enjoyed him.

Nothing much in the forums, and everything else has already been said.

We got the religion and politics forum which has seen three rather insane guys get banned within a few days of joining, the fastest was less then 12 hours I think. he was threatening people and calling them Nazis.

Fixed that for you.

OT: Other than the fact that There Will Be Brawl is done, Unforgotton Realms is gone, and Game Dogs started a new season, there's the awesome series "Extra Credits" that just started. Zero Punctuation is still going, and Furburt and Hublilub are widely known.

Really, that's it.

I've actually started to post on the forums. Because that is extremely important.
Everyone is ninja-ing me today.
I actually ninja'd someone? Ah ha. I feel so accomplished.
I can tell by your avy.

OT: I joined? There were at least 24 new ZP? Doomsday Arcade ended? Now that I remember I haven't watched Doomsday Arcade, maybe I will later...

Plenty of stuff with the shows; if you haven't already, check out Doomsday Arcade, Doraleous and Associates, and There Will Be Brawl. All good stuff.

Also, Extra Credits started like a month ago, and it gives some of the best commentary on the gaming medium I've ever heard. But definitely check it out.

And yeah, MaxtheReaper was banned.

Besides that, stuff has just happened like always. Have fun getting accustomed to it again! :)

Well, the forums are exactly how you left them.

People have been arguing over Halo's quality or lack thereof.
People have been arguing about whether Yahtzee should be taken seriously or not.
People have been seeking confirmation of their opinions.
People have been telling each other how bad Twilight is.

Y'know, the usual.

As for the actual site content.... well, there's a new series called Extra Credit that is definitely worth a look. Oh yeah, and Moviebob pissed off some people because he didn't like something that they liked.

Extra Credits is now part of the escapist.
Rebecca Mayes wrote a "Love" song for yahtzee.
The community is still awesome.

Zynga almost defeated Valve in March Mayhem. So yeah... that happened.
I know there's probably somewhere on the site I can search but what happened with March Mayhem this year? So long as Turbine didn't pull the same shit as a few year ago lol
What was the shit Turbine pulled? I didn't participate in last year's MM. This year's, though....

If it was promoting people to vote for them on every web page ever, then that's what Zynga did. If it isn't, then I don't know...

Zynga took out Square Enix, Infinity Ward, and Rockstar before being taken out by Valve. That was an overly dramatic battle of the internets ever.
Taken lightly: http://overlypositive.com/2010/04/05/the-real-zynga-vs-valve/

On a different note, why was MaxTheReaper banned? I signed up when he was still here, but I haven't seen him after two(?) months after.

This and people are more paranoid about ACTA now. Long live the internet!

Same as any other high post ban, insulted or raged at someone because of some stupid argument.
