I've stared at the back of Daystar's head for far too long to be considered his subordinate

Quiet Fappy, Daystar is talking.

Yeah Fappy, be quiet for a damn change.

I'm being appreciated.

Congratulations, both of you. You've both made it... on the list.

You've both made it... on the list.

The list of people you're scheduled to make sandwiches for?

I'll have a BLT.

Post-2012: Who knows but you're all doomed.

Cool story, bro.

But really, tell us all about it in the Modcast

I will do! I'll just talk about myself for an hour without letting anyone else interrupt, yes?

[Chromatic Aberration]

If I might chime into this little forum-celebrity get-together....

I have a few things that came to mind.

1) The Attack Of The Gun-Control Threads (June 2012, example [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.383657-Guns-A-simple-solution#15186343])
2) The Attack Of The Icky Fetish Threads (Oct 2012, this one [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.390901-Incest-What-about-Beastiality#15719538] and the three or so mock threads it spawned, also the large amount of all those appearing in 2011; see eg. here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.276455-Anyone-here-have-a-fetish?page=1])
3) Kross hijinks #1: Going AxeCrazy Mk 1: Thrown Into The Basement [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.264244-why-were-you-put-on-probation-suspended-or-warned?page=3#10016746] and Mk 2: Revenge of the Banhammer (can't find it, but was some ignore please thread that was turned into the living infernal hell of bannings - sponsored by Kross and a sticky in OT, appeared sometime this year I think)
4) Kross hijinks #2: A Ghost In The Machine and a Practical Study on Meatbag Subjugation [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.384820-A-PRACTICAL-STUDY-ON-MEATBAG-SUBJUGATION#15278196]
5) The R&P Modgroup Rebellion (Modgroup Chat 2012 - might be coupled with the Fall of Danyal and Katatori's Exodus)
6) Impactful Games on the forums and the countless threads they spawned: Skyrim, Minecraft + others I might have forgotten

I feel like such a bad Forum Member.....as I was reading through all of these "events" I was like "wha....which is that?....who's he?..."

I mean I remember the Zynga thing, but didn't know it was "an incident", and I never knew that The Escapist crashing for a day was a huge deal either.

And are we really including forum members as significant people on this timeline? I mean I know Danyal posted a lot of weird topics, but I wouldn't call his banning "significant"

Was "The Great Banning" an actual thing?
I don't really remember it.
I've been on the Escapist for a fair while, but I don't always visit it frequently, so it's interesting learning about some of these significant things that perhaps passed me by.
I definitely remember the "Pony invasion" though- I recall avoiding the Escapist for at least a month while that was going on, because I just didn't (and still don't) understand the appeal. I still have no idea whether people legitimately like the show, or whether they enjoy it with a strong dose of irony.

That is okay, most people do not remember things that happened. This timeline is a group effort of a collective mind, a bit like the Borg.

Also, I have not quite decided what to do about notable members. I am against using the user names because I do not want people to feel left out. I would rather use nicknames. I am going to see how many names come up, and have a think about it.

Like I remember most of this stuff, it's just all kind of blended together. To me, the biggest Escapist timelines was site redesigns and when Extra Credits left. I mean if people thought ME3 was bad, they must not have been around for the Extra Credits fiasco. I remember little stuff like MovieBob's first Expendables review, and that shit-storm.

Maybe add July 2010, The Scary Thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.211546-The-scary-thread]

YES

I need to feel validated dammit!

Well you're one of the recognizable posters on the site, so there's that

Yay, I was hoping someone would give me a date for the scary thread. On it goes

The last [noun] you [verb]ed in a [form of media] is now [humourous situation]. Does no one remember this?

Don't forget the zombie threads and the X situation dream team of non/fictional characters of your choice from '09. And people say they're tired of zombies now.

Zombie threads are there under "zombie apocalypse". But I have it under 2010. Is 2009 more accurate?

I'd say '09/'10 would be the most accurate.

2008: The year the 'Pist found it's supreme overlord; Souplex.
09: The great troll hunt.
Also: You mention PRIATE but not the Asylum? That's like mentioning GoBots, but not Transformers.
