[user]Optimus Hagrid[/user], because I know him.

I also remember a guy, [user]The Eggplant[/user]. His posts often give me a chuckle, as do [user]Amnestic[/user]'s, who also indirectly introduced me to Roy Zimmerman.

Also [user]Sir_Tor[/user], for the avatar, as well as [user]Eggsnham[/user].

Slightly more obscure I'd say, but that's half the fun.

Furburt:Why? Because I see him on EVERYTHING!
FargoDog: I don't know why. It's mostly because of his avatar.
TheNamlessGuy: Mostly your current avatar. Also your name.

According to their profile, he's not a she.

Jesus, every time I set a metaphorical foot into one of these threads all of the names are always different. I know that I stopped being a "regular" and sinked into the shadows a ways back, but has it really been that long?

Feh, with the exceptions of @Labyrinth and @NewClassic I doubt there's a name I could list off that anyone would recognize. Still, we'll give it a shot.

Escapists that I remember:

@Amnestic, @Archemetis, @Berethond, @ae86gamer, @BlazeTheVampire, @Anarchemitis, @Chris B Chikin, @Combined, @dalek sek, @ElArabDeMagnifico, @Erana, @fullmetalangel, @Galletea, @Hey Joe, @Higurashi, @Jumplion, @Knight Templar, @linchowlewy, @Lord Harrab, @Neesa, @Nivag the Owl, @Phoenix Arrow, @PurpleRain, @Radelaide, @Shivari, @smallharmlesskitten, @The Iron Ninja, @TheNecroswanson, @Trivun, @Ultrajoe, @Xitel.

Good people, every last one of them. I feel bad about falling out of touch, but hey, thus is life.

Returning back to the background where he belongs,

Marter, BonsaiK, Jarnja (for the badass avatar), and whoever else has a Soul Eater Avatar... I think it is the person with Maka... but I can't remember the person's name.

I'll have you know that I registered two days after you! :p

I have an instant dislike for this guy.
I wouldn't, he's quite a nice fellow.
He probably is too. I'm just old and bitter.
Oh hi! Nice to meet you.

I still don't know how Scde2 does it though. That man is a fucking machine.
He hangs out in forum games a lot.
Shush!

OT: Who do I remember mostly?

If I made a list it'll just be too damn long.
So if you post regularly, I'll remember you.

Nah. You spam here, you get banned, simple enough. Don't worry, all my posts are totally legitimate.

Believe me though, user groups is the main reason. The user group PRIATE (The one I use most) has 100,000 posts in the chat alone, and that's just one of many.
That's good to know, well, I guess. I don't understand why user groups count towards post counts, but eh, nothing to do about that. And wow, 100k in PRIATE o_O What do you guys talk about there? That's crazy, hah!

Yeah, sadly that wasn't some kind of elaborate troll. Darths Mobius and Empyrean were, way back when, during my "generation" of The Escapist, forum regulars and were pretty well known. They were married, they had a kid, it turned out to be a miscarriage. And yes, before you ask, they really were that into Star Wars that they named their daughter Leia.

Anyway, Leia died and the pair informed the Escapist community because, at the time, the forum regulars were already very aware that Empyrean was pregnant. Mobius gives the update, some people were "less than sensitive" (big surprise there, this being the internet) and eventually he went off the bloody deep end.

So yeah, true story.
Feel free to call me a cynical pessimist, but was there any rock solid evidence for this being true all was word the only thing that people could go on?
If it was true though, damn, hard break. Guess Mobius learnt the hard way that the internet can be a very cold place indeed.
Well, other than numerous pictures of the pair many months/a couple years prior to this happening, cluing everyone in as far as what they look like so it was pretty obvious that it was them in the pictures that they posted after the miscarriage, the majority of which probably can't be seen anymore due to both a removal of posts from The Escapist and photos simply being deleted from hosting sites as time goes on... no, there isn't any proof I can pull out anymore.

I'm sure "evidence" still exists on this site, but I sure as hell don't have the will to look for it, and I doubt anyone else does either.

And yes, the internet can be, and often is a very cold, unfriendly place...

Furburt (just used to seeing the name) and Jack and whatever the hell that damn things name is... And... erm... that is about it... I don't really have any "friends" or anyone on here that talks to me besides the occasional quote...

MaxTheReaper. He was arrogant and offensive, but damn was he entertaining.

Of the people active on the Escapist right now, probably Furburt. I've never had any interaction with him (besides maybe quoting/being quoted by him once, I think), but he seems a pretty cool guy, and is hard to miss because of just how fucking much he posts.

I registered at 11:00 PM that day, so it's actually one day and one hour XD

I would say Hubilub is the one that I remember the best. Perhaps it's because of the seizure inducing avatar?

Do join if you feel like it. We're very accepting to new gimps pets convenient places to rest drinks members.
I'm a bit worried about this, but okay, I'll give it a shot.

Oh, and does anyone know who I was talking about earlier? The guy who made those big well researched rant threads a year ago or so? Didn't his name begin with a K? I don't know, that's the only person I remember from a year ago that isn't here today that I remember.

I remember Furbert, tellmeimaninja, Neonbob, Hubilub, and RoganWilson but just because he is my little brother IRL.

People who are No longer with us I remember are MaxtheReaper and NoMoreSanity I thought both of them were funny NoMoreSanity more often then Maxy but they were both cool guys.

Edit: Oh and Jack and Calumon. I remember them because I was thinking of making Sten From DA:O my Avatar and at the end of every post writing Sten disapproves x amount but then I saw Jack and Calumon and my dreams were crushed

Also, the guy you're thinking of is Khell Sennet. Might be a _ in that name somewhere. He got banned.
Yes! Him! I loved his rants, but I knew he'd strike one too close to home. Mind if you PM me a bit more of the details? I don't think it'd be fair to express more on open forums.
