Poll: Fellow Oldscapists!

[Imp_Emissary]

Spoiler: You know your own words.

Fellow OldScapists; take heed!
Your leader Souplex still lives.
Though we remain dispersed throughout the far reaches of the internet, exiled from our true home, we are all still 'Pists; united by a common purpose!
The time has come for us to put aside our differences, and act as one under my undisputed leadership!
Only then can we cast off the shackles of NewScapist oppression!
Working together, we can raise up our glorious forums once more...
...And crush all who stand in our way!

Enough flowery speech; down to the nitty-gritty brass-tacks.
Many of the posters who made these forums great have either drifted away, retreated into user-groups, or been banned, and these forums are withering under a pile of gender threads and gimmick threads.

Your task is simple: Contact other Escapist users who have drifted away, and try to get them back.
If only some of us do this, it will not work. Without a concentration of quality posters and quality threads they will resume drifting.
We must work together.

Capatcha: Upper hand.
That is correct.

The first person to correctly guess where I stole that speech from gets a cookie.

No poll option for peace, or at the very least diplomatic negotiations?

Speaking of old Escapists, is there anyone here who remembers MaxtheReaper out of interest? I enjoyed his posts, shame he was banned because he wasn't a bad apple by any means. And more recently there was that Irish bloke, think his name began with an F, but he too was quite famous and entertaining, what ever happened to him, was he banned too?

I knew Furburt but only knew of Max by reputation alone. Never once really saw him.

In a site this large it is possible to go by unnoticed by at least two thirds of the populace, even if you post a ton and get a following.

I'll watch these efforts from my bunker. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Internet-Bunker]
I offer asylum to anyone who wants it. I remain neutral.

Mind if I join you?

By all means. We have room for hundreds.

Is this the new escapist faction?

CAN I JOIN?

 

[Aerosteam]

Now I regret lurking since 2008 then decide to make an account in 2011.

You always ask for it. As to whether I'll actually tell about it is a different matter. ;D

And my hugs are free and of premium quality. You just need to ask. <.< *hugs* ON THE HOUSE.

What do you mean, always? I never (as far as I can remember, which isn't that far) ask you for it. Might have something to do with me only using Skype what so ever because my friends are lazy bastards.

Still, the hug was pretty ok. Not the best ever, but why complain? FREE HUGS!!!!!

Not so much a faction as a refuge from the violent politics of Escapist Factions.

You may join.

 

[War Penguin]

There are many who say they were lurkers during the age of the OldScapist.
They are welcome in our glorious revolution, just as NewScapists who understand the glory of the OldScapists are.
Together we will spread our buttery justice over the 'Pist's every nook and cranny!
Its toast shall never go bare again!

Fool! The toast shall be burnt under your control! You lead a land full of chaos and anarchy! The Escapist will burn under your reign!

You couldn't even stop the flying monkeys from stealing your avatar, what good are you in a battle?

Fool... You do not know of the horrors that I have seen. I have fought dragons, skeletons, zombies, flood, Covenant, Combine, Empires, Sith, bandits, goombas, the list goes on! They have all died by my hands...

The monkeys were merely a scratch. They may have taken my sight avatar, but they will never take my will and my might!

So don't talk to me of battle, boy!

You are not the only one to have experience such sights.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time...

I have searched castles for a princess. I have witnessed the glassing of Reach! I punched a goddamn deathclaw in the face! With my own. Bear. Hands!

 

[weatherfn]

Holy crap, I've been a member for 4 years now?! And been lurking for 5? Well, nice to say hi to some of those I remember reading posts from long ago. I just miss the weekly magazine...

I'll go back in my lurker hole now. It's nice every so often to come out and see the sun. I'll come back out the next time they have a game or Puzzle Adventure. (Or if one of the whipper snappers really get my pants in a bunch!)

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

If you remember the great war then you're old enough to be here.

There have been many great wars, I have been neutral to all of the ones I have witnessed.

Specifics man.

How about before the great Zynga horde, that was two years ago if I remember, my mind ain't what it used to be.

Remember guys, ABZ! Anyone.But.Zynga. xD.

Who said it was gone or is that just what it wanted you to think?

OT: I certainly wouldn't mind getting some of the old users back as I've become a bit sick of this trend of

????
Banned/Disappear to user groups.

Gets a bit lonely when you only see like 2 people from 08 posting in a thread and it is a cold day in hell someone from 07 or before posts. I understand people get caught it up in life but it is nice to see some people still exist.

 

[Imp_Emissary]

Now I regret lurking since 2008 then decide to make an account in 2011.

Don't feel to bad. This is all mostly just fun chit chat.
I mean really. The one who made this thread about "old Escapist" is only one year older than me. I know it's not about "how old you are", but this all just seems way too silly to take seriously.

This is like when twins fight about who's the oldest because they don't both come out at the same time.

Captcha: silver lining?

Well, it's always good to see some people coming back to the Escapist. Old or not.

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

I probably don't count as an Oldscapist, since I've only been here since Feb 2011, and even then my post count is probably quite low compared to some others who joined at a similar time. However, I'm on board with anything that tries to provide a check against all these stupid-arse, repetitive, pointless, flame-bait, trolling, hot topic badge-fishing, gender/mass effect 3/pony-loving/pony-hating/drowning DICK ARSE THREADS!!!

*deep sigh* It's alright. I'm calm. I'm calm.

 

[USSR]

OldScapists unite!!

Resurrect Max!
..and Stolen Pixels.

I remember him, vaguely. I'd also quite like to see Hank Man back.

 

[Mr.Pandah]

Now then, I may or may not have noticed some people who may or may not be. . . against the revolution. [user]Redlin5[/user], Para, got something to say? <3

2010 and earlier? I feel a little older now...-_-

Hey, you'll never be old to me pal.

*pats your back*

Nice to see you're still posting!

Hey red, sorry I've been away for so long and posting intermittently. Life and all that. Good to see you around here still as well. Still nice to see familiar faces on here.

Yes, Max and I spoke a bit here on the Escapist. I enjoyed his presence on these boards. It's a shame he got banned in my opinion. He's the only personality I would actually say I "miss" on here. Nobody else has been as memorable.

Fellow OldScapists; take heed!
Your leader Souplex still lives.
Though we remain dispersed throughout the far reaches of the internet, exiled from our true home, we are all still 'Pists; united by a common purpose!
The time has come for us to put aside our differences, and act as one under my undisputed leadership!
Only then can we cast off the shackles of NewScapist oppression!
Working together, we can raise up our glorious forums once more...
...And crush all who stand in our way!

Enough flowery speech; down to the nitty-gritty brass-tacks.
Many of the posters who made these forums great have either drifted away, retreated into user-groups, or been banned, and these forums are withering under a pile of gender threads and gimmick threads.

Your task is simple: Contact other Escapist users who have drifted away, and try to get them back.
If only some of us do this, it will not work. Without a concentration of quality posters and quality threads they will resume drifting.
We must work together.

Capatcha: Upper hand.
That is correct.

The first person to correctly guess where I stole that speech from gets a cookie.

I only follow [user]Newclassic[/user], he's is much more of a classy gentelman.

My "glory days" actually predate you, Souplex. Just sayin'.

That said, pretty neat to see some old posters around and about, even if most of the users I "grew up" with on the Escapist have moved on to different walks of life, there are still a few of you kicking around.

I still talk to a few of the older Escapists, some of them very rarely, but it's nice to see them around and about. If anyone can manage to summon [http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a395/NewClassic/Kittens/Marmalade.jpg][footnote]For old time's sake.[/footnote] up a FeNinja or John Johnnston, I'd be particularly impressed.

Otherwise, if predating the Zynga thing means you're an oldScapist, what happens when you're as old as [user]Erana[/user], or [user]Archeopterix[/user]?

Come my lord, take your rightful place as the leader of this revolution.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Meh. The forums weren't that good before and there not that good now either... I don't see any reason to be agitated. Though I do miss the phantom of the arcade.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Don't really know if I can be counted as an Old-scapist, but I have that sense of being old and behind in the evolutions seeing as I left the Escapist forums for around one-two years, not paying attention to the changes that were occurring outside the pages that led to the videos. I've just recently started posting again, as I'm trying to get back into the gaming community.

 

[Phlakes]

I've never been that active, and I'm a little more recent than most of you, but I remember all the jive turkeys that were here back when I lurked and joined. Good times.

I sense a civil war within a revolution that's only just beginning.

And according the the Captcha you've all been blinded by science
