The finer points of Escapism

[Erana]

I must say that it is likely due to Yahtzee that these forums are changing so much. There are so few people dating before his premire here, but this online magazine has been up for years. Even if this place is dreadful in comparison to how it once was, it is still brilliant. The admins don't just go kicking bum just because they're all out of gum, nor do they sit idly by while a flame war is going on. Kudos to yall.

I can't say the same thing for the Outspark forums, sadly. It was a place that didn't need much policing, but there are about six people there who are ruining everything...
*places flower on its grave*

I certainly came because of Yahtzee, but found the forums to be unique. Very few places on the internet, even hard science forums, are as intelligent, plus there is an unusually broad range of nationalities and unusual people which allows me to see things from a perspective not otherwise available to one of my age, background, and genitalia. And while I'm sometimes curious as to why a particular poster got banned, the results speak for themselves.

I think I said everything I needed to say about the community here on the thread which basically turned into 'Ask A Mod'. The community here is witty, quick and can be very amusing. They're great to work with, and are more productive than a lot of magazines out there; especially given all of the reviewers here are volunteers. Thus, to my eyes, this means that the members here even surpass the hilarious guys over at the PC Gamer UK forums, who did little more than sit around for days upon end and make wry cracks at topics or one another.

I actually have good conversations on this board. I love the fact that trolls are more likely to trigger spontaneous RPs than flamewars. I love the preference for properly written English. I love that debates don't routinely degenerate into flamewars, even when they are on seriously touchy topics. The articles are not simple rounds of industry gossip.

And I have a harem! How can I not love a place that has given me a virtual harem!

LOL You do indeed.

Slightly off topic, but I love your avatar even though I normally hate anime. It's like it's saying "Don't make me come over there and kick your ass. Because I will. I don't care if I have to pack a lunch and climb you like a redwood, your ass *will* be kicked."

The fine point of Escapism is Escaping from clients, co-workers, fanboys and idiots (perhaps even familiy, but I sincerely hope not) to talk about things we like in a mutual respect.
We all good friends! High five!

I like how lively the forum is. If you put something up, you get almost instant gratification. And from people who can form sentences!

 

[Fire Daemon]

The fact that everyone here is a nice and intelligent person is what makes me come back.
The moderators (or the moderator that I've ever seen ban someone) work hard to make sure that the people and both

a) Able to form a sentance
b) Not hooting Dick Holes

If it wasn't for the moderators and the fabled Ban Hammer then this place would have gone down hill.

I also like the User Review section.

I like this place cause Purple Rain's here.

Dude, thanks! You're awesome too!

Thanks! We should make a team or something. You're like a god you know.

I try my best.

I'm only here for the free tacos.

We get tacos now?

I have to admit, this community of peopleis great to be around. I used to hate english at school. After being drawn in by Yahtzee and hanging around here, I found myself loving the ancient language once more. Plus everyone here is quite funny, are the great minds of tommorow and are probably devilishly handsom in reality. Ok, I'm pushing it now.

 

[jim_doki]

i'm new here and the other forums i came from (ultimate guitar, Questionable content, jolt) all make this place look like some kind of shining heaven. there's your regulars, the odd joke, its all good

plus, we all live in fear of the banhammer

 

[Mirika_the_warrior]

I prefer to talk to funny, intelligent, and sense able people not the hooting d*ck-heads found on other forums. and there is yahtzee

Well I don't know about you guys but I am thought of as the best looking guy around.

You can't find relaxed conversation like this on any other gaming website

Yeah, if you combine that with self-critical and occasionally pathologically shy, that's her. Or me.

I'm regularly mistaken for George Clooney on many occasions.
