Poll: Guys. What is this forum to you basically?

[Reginald the Butler]

A window into the rest of the world. I will go out on a limb and say that many Americans are not exposed to perspectives from people outside of our country, even our media which does dwelve into outside affairs is still mostly american based. The downside of having a media machine that is all encompassing as ours, it tends to block out others.

I agree completely. The forums here are a great place to get opinions from non-Americans. It has caused me to think more critically about global issues, more so than the generic media's spin on events.

 

[Bestival]

A fun mostly liberal, open minded community where there seems to be an interesting discussion going on almost every day. I lurk more than I post, but I do think most serious topics are handled well here. And on a whole bunch of good days I've read something that either opened my mind a little, or shown me a perspective I hadn't considered before.

Also, it has random funny stuff sometimes!

It is also the only place in the world where I am open about my sexuality. This comes back to the community being so open minded I suppose.
So thanks you guys, you're (almost) all very sweet!

(Sorry for getting all serious. Next person, please start a, now not so random, song again.)

 

[King of Asgaard]

A release valve from my life.
A place where I'm free to embrace my geekdom proudly.
A place that makes me wish I had more friends and knew more people like my fellow Escapists in my everyday life.

 

[Beffudled Sheep_v1legacy]

It's my home away from and at home.
Its my sanctuary from the dude-broism of the world.
Its where I want to be under the sea.
Its my Octopuses' Garden in the shade.

OK Bamba, what is up with you collecting all this information?
Are you trying to model your army of robot after the users of these fine forums?
Because if that is your intent, let me just say that I have already beaten you to the punch.
Everyone on here is actually a robot, created by yours truly.
Most of them aren't even aware of that, but it's true.
And the funny thing?
I made it so they could bleed and suffer.
MUhahahHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

But the thing you don't know...

I really made you in order to make me, so I could travel back in time to make you make me, and hid it by also making you make everyone else, possibly making some of them travel back in time to make you make me make you make me make you make me make you make me make you make me! I'm dastardly like that.

OT: This is just a fun place to sometimes act silly and sometimes act seriously. Haven't yet found any like it.

This might have held true in the past future, but what you don't know is, that to break the loop, I actually made myself make myself.
Yes, I broke your perfect loop by making myself make myself.

My avatar is Joffrey being slapped over and over and over, surely that's the direct opposite of scum and villainy?

[Heronblade]

-Source of new perspectives
-A place to semi rant about the crap I shut my yap about on a daily basis
-A place to otherwise speak my mind, especially concerning topics those around me in the physical world often don't appreciate/understand.

WHAT!?

Spoiler: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That would mean that in the future past I no longer exist!

Unless....

I have to hit that wire with the connecting hook at precisely 88 miles per hour, the instant the lightning strikes the tower... everything will be fine...

1. Yes it is and I terribly enjoy watching it all day every day.

2. I was referencing the fact that you quote star wars when you could have tried for a suitable "A Song of Ice and Fire"-quote instead.
I should have made myself clearer, I admit.

3. Awesome avatar.

But I tinkered with your clock tower.
I installed a lightning rod.
Muhhaahahahahahaa.
Also, if I prevented myself from making you, then how did you build that time machine in the first place?

 

[Sindwiller]

It's a quite cool place, basically.

Alright

"Some of those forums will never come back!"
"The Escapist will, the worst ones always live"

That's all I can think of right now.

Well done that was.
Write more I must, Mod Wrath to avoid it seem.

I didn't build it. You did. Then I stole it, traveled back in time to before you made it and distracted you with random forum conversations (WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THIS CONVERSATION! YOU ARE NOT ABOUT TO HAVE AN IDEA FOR A TIME MACHINE!)

Now it's mine! And I've removed myself and it from the timeline which causes all sorts of fun paradoxes. And spaghetti. I'm still not sure where exactly it comes from but there's a lot of spaghetti involved in time travel.

But the point is. It's all your fault.

And that lightning rod you thought you installed? That never happened. I traveled way back in time and seduced your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, preventing your entire existence in the first place! I think... family trees aren't what they used to be...

ps. She was smoking hot!

But when you seduced my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, how did I make myself to stop myself from making you?
And if I never existed, then who built that time machine you stole from me, which you used to seduce my great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother? Also, I just finished my time machine and, during my test run, I ran over an ancestor of yours, so did I just crash reality?

And the spaghetti are important, it's what I had for dinner.

I think there's only one explanation...

CALIBAN!

I AM YOUR GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER!

Which means you actually drove over your own ancestor, you asshole! I'll disinherit you for that!

But..

But I just got married to your mother...

Which makes me your father.

Which makes me my own GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GREAT-GRANDFATHER...

HA, I shall slander all money you would get from me on blackjack and coke.
Not prostitutes though, I am a married man.
Which means, that you will not inherit money from me, which means I won't inherit money from you.
