Poll: Would you consider yourself a regular here on the escapist?

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Am I known? To an extent. Especially when I first joined, I had a tendency to get involved in flame wars, so a lot of people know me for arguing things in one direction or another.

Am I a regular? Like Phasmal, I've got a tab open to this place at all times, and am constantly posting. I've also been here for darn near three years. So yes, I am a regular.

By the way, I recognize pretty much everyone in this thread by name, avatar, or both. Not sure if that validates the high poll results for yes, or if it just means I spend way too much time on these forums

1. I kinda doubt it. I don't post nearly enough so I'm kinda invisible.

2. Well, I come here everyday, sometimes just to lurk some threads, check the news or watch videos. I don't post a lot, hence why I have such a low post count despite being here for 2 years.

1: Do you consider yourself a recognized member of the escapist? I seriously doubt it. There may be a couple who'll recognise my avatar or name, but that would be about it.

2: Do you consider yourself to be an ACTIVE member of the escapist? To a degree, yeah. I've been pretty active since December of 2011. I do a lot of lurking too, I only post in several threads, not all (not even most, really). I'm not active all across the board though, I've only posted in Games and Off-topic, with the very occasional Religion & Politics post.

I think that sums it up alright.

Says the user who joined February this year? I'll have to PM Timelord and tell him we've found another time-traveller on the site!

Don't you remember BathorysGraveland? Same avatar, same nickname, sans the 2 on the end, bigger potcount (and presumably join date further back in time). Dunno why he made a second account but I certainly recall the first one.

Ah, that clears up some questions and explains why he/she seemed vaguely familiar, though I won't pretend to understand the reasoning behind making a new account that's no different from an older one.

Am I known?
Likely not, though I've probably made an impact of some sort on a few people.
I have an interesting argumentative style, to say the least.
Though, who wants to read the damn paragraphs I often type?

Am I a regular?
Technically not as of this moment. Though the Escapist is always open in a tab and I frequently check the articles and boards. I've been lurking since Spring '08 on a fairly regular basis and I recall the days when Yahtzee used to have pop songs for the opening of Zero Punctuation. So in a way, I'd surmise that I am if not only in spirit.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

Yes, I'm active and yes I'm a regular. Not so much on the weekends, but weekdays my status will say "Online now" for a good portion of the day. The Escapist is a nice tab to have open.

As for being noticed? I couldn't say, I think some people might recognize me, but many more don't know or care that I exist.

[Calibanbutcher]

I am a regular, or at least I do spend way too much time here and I even have my own usergroup, which you and everyone else should totally join.

Though I don't know if people recognize me, if they do it's probably because of my rainbow manatee avatar.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

1) Not really. While I do come here often and frequently post, there's not really anything I do that particularly stands out among the rest outside of linking to a certain Avenue Q song whenever a thread about racism crops up.

2) Yes. This website is pretty much the first thing I check when I go online and I like to post as frequently as I can, the only times I don't being if I really can't find something to say, if there's a certain subject matter I'm sick to death of hearing about or if I really can't find the energy to be snarky.

 

[Lionsfan]

I definitely consider myself a regular.
I'm not sure how recognised I am, in certain circles maybe.

I think your old avatar was more recognizable, since it seemed so angry....

1. I think so. I'm not exactly sure the things I've been noticed for are great, people seem to notice me more when I'm getting angry.

2. Yep, I'm here quite a lot. I usually have a million tabs open and the Escapist is always one of them. I've been accused of replying to quotes too fast, but I just notice when my tabs change. Plus I type pretty quick.

Who accuses people of replying to quotes too fast?

 

[Muspelheim]

I do see myself as a regular 'round here, but I don't think I'm very recognisable, since it's not very often I actually post anything. Even less if we go by posts worth reading.

But I do recognise almost every single avatar in this thread so far, and I can link most of them to a user without looking. This lack of change in familiarity pleases me. :3

I think I prefer the Amelie one to be honest. Maybe I'll bring it back.

Daww, thanks for the cookies...erm, unknown stranger. OK, OK, we both know that's a joke. I like the new thing you did with the avatar - are those petals? Or just hearts?

I recognise most people around here, even if they aren't that regular. Maybe sans some that only go on other boards (so, not GD or OT) - even if they have a double digit posts, I'd probably go "Hey, I know I've seen them in the past". Now, if only I was that good with faces and names in real life...

Yeah, I was trying to remember what avatar did you have before that - I recall I liked it more than the judgemental staring popcorn eating girl boy person. (it was a girl, right?)

 

[Marter]

Recognized? In the Forum Games, I'm a god. In the other forums... eh, not so much. I used post alot of reviews in the user Reviews! Ask Marter, he might vouch for me! If he remembers. <.<

I will vouch for this. Although we might have different definitions of "a lot."

OT: Sure. I'm here for a bunch of hours, on and off, most days. And I have that daily review thing. And I'm a moderator, so I kind of need to be a "regular."

They're petals in the shape of hearts!
A single petal of a cherry blossom. It's... spring-like.

People in real life don't have faces as interesting as dragons and cats and tacos.

It was Amelie!
Before that I had Weeping angels doing the Macarena. I had that avatar for years.

Yeah well... WHATEVER.

>.> *coughs* <.<

Well it was a a lot for me. I was just starting out as a user here and I discovered the joy of giving personal opinion in a semi professional form. <.<

Still, I couldn't ever reach 30 reviews before burning out. 'tis a shame, so many games/anime/books have been mentally consumed and properly thought of. <.>

[sub]Have you reviewed The Experiment, yet? You should if you haven't. It's awesome. <.<[/sub]

I haven't done. Which one are you talking about: The German one or the 2010 American one?

 

[Queen Michael]

Yes and yes. I come here and post almost every day, and have been doing that for years.

 

[mParadox]

;D

The American one! It has Adrian Brody, so that's an automatic win. Also, it's based on a real life experiment. Which was horrifying in itself. o.o
