Zero Punctuation is probably the only thing I watch here actively but I'm sure I'd be able to treasure the memories as well as grow into the new series. I wouldn't leave. This is probably the only forum I'm actually active on. -_-
Zp is great and all, but the humor of it kinda faded, so i watch it, but I prefer the other things
No.. I would not leave.. There are a couple other shows here that I like.. If Yahtzee AND Moviebob both leave, however, then yes.. I am so gone..
ZP is around 60%+ of the reason I'm still here, the other things are starting to appeal to me, but that fast-talking accented man with heavy cynicism makes me smile when I'm feeling glum, funny how negativity works, huh? So I might, I might not...
Probably. I joined the forums because I occasionally wanted to post snarky comments regarding how I try to avoid posting snarky comments. There was another topic I saw earlier in the Hot Threads: age demographic for the Escapist forums. Somewhere between 13 and 20 I think is the base age...s'all groovy and such, but it really ain't my age group or interest.
But Yahtzee is a damned intelligent and creative bloke, and the Escapist have got a good thing going having him here, so I'll be posting snarky comments while Zero Punctuation loads for quite a while longer I'm sure, heh. Wouldn't expect him to move out any time soon.

Nope. Now if the LRR guys left too, then yes.
Granted, you could still watch LRR on their site, but if there's no Unskippable, Daily Drop, LRR sketches on escapist as well as no ZP, even then I wouldn't leave, because I read several articles and comics Escapist does, but... LRR and ZP are the two main reasons I come here. I would still probably pop in periodically, but it wouldn't be nearly as much.

I wouldn't really do much of anything..I would just not check and see if their were any updates
I'm actually here for Extra Credits, mostly. I was a fan of that show when it was on ScrewAttack and it was "Talking About These". I did watch ZP before EC was on here, but really only when there was nothing better to do. I've been watching ZP every Thursday lately, after Extra Credits is done. Without EC or ZP, I'd still be kind of content with LoadingReadyRun, but I probably wouldn't come to the Escapist much. I've also been more prevalent on the forum lately, so that would probably keep me around more, too.
No because I didn't join the escapist to watch it (although I do tehe) and you don't have to be a member to watch it. So most people who just wanting to have a peek at it can then wonder back to there cakes and bash there heads on rocks.
most likely not... I mean sure I'd be saddened, dissapointed, or something else(depending on the reason why it got pulled) but I have other video series (top 5 w/ Lisa foiles, Movie Bob's shows, Extra Credits, and Daily Drop) all good reasons for me to keep coming back along with the Forums, the news and two webcomics which i can't name right now off the top of my head
No. It's true that Zero Punctuation brought me to this site, but the LRR Crew and Extra Credits stuff is what really brings me back these days. And yeah, I do read the articles, but there is lots of stuff I find fun: Shamus's Lets Plays, Stolen Pixels (what ever happened to that?), the webcomics and so on, not to mention the articles. The forums, not so much. I got kind of sick of the "Your Last X is now Y" crap threads. I still occasionally post in the groups I am in, but my posting activity is way down.
It was ZP that brought me to the Escapist, but I haven't watched a ZP in ages. I enjoy Movie Bob's film reviews and Big Picture and a lot of the other content.
The site still would still have MovieBob and the Extra Credits team, not to mention pretty excellent (if uncharismatic) video reviews by the more tenured staff like Pitts and Susan. So, no. I would definitely still come.
I'd probably come MORE often if they ditched the forums though, or at least started banning people less. They got this place set up as a great POTENTIAL discussion playground, but I don't ever feel as though I'm truly allowed to have an opinion without worrying if the banhammer's gonna land on my head because some overzealous mod doesn't like me. It's more than a little fascist.
Hell, for example, I'm probably going to get probationed for this one.

You would probably lose the people how just show up to watch that show, but anyone that actually posts and watches other things won't go anywhere, so I doubt it would affect anything greatly. I wouldn't leave personally, Escape to the Movies, Extra Credits and The Big Picture are all equally as awesome.
