Poll: A question to all the new people

[Go Fighting In The War Room]

This is a question directed mostly to anyone who has joined after January 1 2010.

For the past little while, I have been noticing, like a few other people that there's been a huge increase in new users joining the Escapist. I don't have any problem with any of you/them (if being read by someone who isn't new), but I'm just curious, why did you come here?

Was it Zero Punctuation?

Friends telling you about it?

Or something diffrent altogether?

Swedish Snip.

I guess thats a good point.

LINKS FOR YOU!

Word of our conversational superiority spread to them all over the internet and they were enlightened and drawn to our holy place of happy geekdom.

Actually it's probably because we came up in lots of MW2 google searches

They all came because of me.

This is the safest and most friendly place on the net for Jak 2 fans.

Hmm. Well I've been reading articles for a while, and the forum seemed pretty cool so I joined. I was getting sick of most other forums at any rate, this one's pretty good.

('cept for the Avatar flame war threads that pop up by the dozen.)

Well I originally came here some time ago for the ZP videos, I never actually did much more then that. BUUUTTTT this seemed like a nice place so I finally made an account and hunkered down.

I came here because a friend recommended this place to me; glad she did.

And I still don't even know exactly what Zero Punctuation is.

WHAT!? Go watch Zero Punctuation now; preferably his early reviews because they are hilarious.

I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THEM TOO!

How many of you even bothered to read the guidelines?

Seriously.

I actually did skim through them. I'm surprised at myself for doing so too.

Cookie for you!

You about to get banned boy.

OP: As long as they don't do that fucking idolize the higher post count users thing, then I'm okay with them.

OMG OMG OMG 12 000 posts can I bring you your slippers???

Nom.

Have you noticed the forum's gone a bit mental today? Must be something in the virtual air.

I doubt that not even a 1/4 of new comers read the guidelines. When I first came I didn't. I only read it on my 5th post. Look at my badges! Epic poster !

OT:

That sums it up. Thank you Hubilub.

Well a large portion of the Population boom came around late 2009 around the time MW2 and Ac2 and all the big sequels came out. I would assume it's word of mouth that made the site so popular. ZP did it's part, but I don't want to think that everyone came here for that one series.
