I didn't recognise you for a while after you changed your username/avatar. Unless you never were Greyfox, in which case I've made a terrible mistake!Katherine Kerensky said:
Used to. But I think I've just been here too long. I feel like I've seen every single thread a hundred times. Now I mostly just open up the Escapist out of habit. I don't have the energy or attention span to type at as long of posts as I used to, or to reply to people.
I'd actually say this is the site that got me really into the internet.
Edit: I've been here since 2009. Had an older account that I forgot the password.

I'm regularly here, but I'm pretty sure no one really notices me. Still not sure if this is a positive or a negative thing though, even though I've practically been here an eternity.
Yes and Yes. Most people remember me for my old Username.
I recognize quite a lot of people, mainly based on there Avatars.

Despite how much time I waste spend on this site I'm not sure I can say I'm active because my post count is pretty low. I tend to read threads (spend a lot of time in R+P but I frequent Gaming, Off-Topic and Advice as well) and tend to only contribute if I feel like I have something of value to add. Or very occasionally when I want to vent on threads about relationships or similar.
Pretty much how I interact with groups of people in real life, really. Sit quietly in the corner and only pipe up when I feel it's necessary.
I doubt I'm recognised, although I recognise a few people here who've said the same so perhaps there's hope for me yet. It's kinda tempting to list names I've noticed over the years but it'd feel a bit embarrassing if they then went 'that's nice... I have no idea who you are, though'.

I recognise you! You're the guy... with the name... that I recognise.Lt._nefarious said:
Again, I recognise the name, but I can't put a face... I mean... a posting tone to it. I've seen you around a lot, I'm sure, think I've even replied to your posts from time to time, but for the life of me I don't know what they were about.Binnsyboy said:
Hmm yes and no I suppose. I imagine a few may recognise me, but otherwise I think I'm unknown. Though some may recognise my avatar, I don't know! You tell me! 
All of you tell me.
I'm not as active as I used to be. I'm still here daily, I just don't post as often as I used to.

I can't answer any of the last six poll options because none of them say Daystar Clarion
But yeah, I'd consider myself a regular.

Yes, but only recently. I stopped visiting for a while, and the TSR announcement brought me back.
1. Not sure, that's not really up to me to judge. I'm sure some people would recognize me and I'm just as some most wouldn't.
2. I think so yeah, most days I check in and make a few posts. Some days a few more than others. Lately I've got a new job though so with that my activity's gone down somewhat, would still consider myself pretty active though.

No and kinda.
1) Despite my bitchin' avatar and decently recognisable name, I don't post nearly enough to be recognised by anyone.
2) I suppose I am in a sense. I usually visit the Escapist every day, but on some days there won't be any content I'm interested in (these days only really check out Critical Miss and interesting looking news articles), and the forums will look pretty dead. On others there might be some interesting content, and I'll read it and the comments, then check out the forums for a couple hours. Really depends on how I feel at that moment in time.
All the same, I do have the 'Landmark' badge, so obviously I must be active to an extent.

I stop by the Escapist at least once a day, often more, and always make a pass of the forums. I don't post a lot, as you can conclude for my post count when compared to how long I've been around. I have no idea if anyone recognises me. I've had some heated debates with fellow Escapists in the past, but whether they're still around, or even remember who it was they bared untempered rhetoric upon, is anyone's guess. I hope not, I prefer the relative anonymity.
I consider myself as active as I will ever be. Days are too brief without sinking further time into internet habits.

Used to be on here a lot, PC broke for the good part of a year so I was kind of forced to stop. Back now but I don't think I will be posting as much, I realized that while talking about games you're not playing them.
I would rather play and enjoy games then read people picking them apart and post in the same 20 odd threads, that reminds me ... when was the last "me3 ending" thread?
Not hating this site, that's what it's here for but I would rather be playing than being cynical.
Recognized? I don't think so, Sass once said he reads all my posts 'cos of the drunk pikachu but I don't know. Since people usually recognize avatars before names, I guess I would be remembered since I've only had 2 (the first was anima and lasted about a month).
