My feelings summed up by another, I wouldn't leave now even if only the groups stayed.

No. Long time watcher of ZP and- more recently- no longer a lurker here. If ZP went to the wayside I would be definitely miss it, but I would stay. For better or for worse.

I rarely watch ZP as it is. I'm pretty much here for the forums at this point.

Only reason I bought my publisher subscription was LRR. I used to occassionally stop by the Escapist to watch ZP, then Unskippable was picked up, which brought me in a lot more, and finally they brought LRR onboard, which basically ensured that this became my homepage. I only lurk the forums though (see my post count as proof).

i like it, but it takes my crappy laptop like 30 minutes to maaaaaybe load it, or crash and die on me, so if it was discontinued it wouldn't be the worst thing

Nope! It would be pretty shallow of me to leave because a show got canceled
Now if they canceled everything and forced us to pay them to be part of the forums, hell yeah I would

Im on the forums more than ZP, same with the actual magazine itself

I came for the ZP, stayed for the community

Probably. My interest in the site would slowly drain away. Only thing that could possibly keep me coming back is MovieBob's stuff and extra credits.

No... one of the main reasons I found the site and signed up, but I don't actually watch them any more unless it's a game I either own or plan on buying.

This. Come for ZP stay for the forums. I've spent too much of my damned time in these forums to throw it all away, I have a reputation to uphold.

ZP is only out once a week anyway so The Escapist would only lose one day viewers.

Pretty much this.

I really love the community here - discussion and random threads about whatever are fun stuff.

Also there are tons more fun shows on here. I really like MovieBob and the Extra Credits cast for example.

Of course I wouldn't leave. I may have been drawn here by Zero Punctuation and Unforgotten Realms, but I found far more reason to stay - namely the interesting articles and the interesting forum topics that crop up.

If Yahtzee created his own site comparable to The Escapist I'm sure most would head to it. Especially if it was the only place to view ZP.

I might mean that I visit here a lot less, but I don't know if I would stop coming here altogether.
Yeah Doralingus and Unskipable would make me come back and the odd Shamus article but I would come here a lot less. Theres too much rubbish on this site now it used to be quality over quantity but now with things like Top 5 with Lisa Folies, Movie 'alright we get it you're straight stop talking about about women being positive things about movies I don't need them to enjoy a film there are women in real life too' Bob and that new Pokemon thing the sites become bland and unfunny.

Same thing happened with that guy with the glasses I never go to that site anymore I just visit the Phelous and Cinema Snobs home sites.

Nope. Like I said in the "Show The Escapist Couldn't Live Without" thread, this is a great website for lots of information since it condenses all of the day's stories into a single database.
