Don't know how this works but for some reason your escapist account is automatically a teen.com account, badges, forum meter and all.

Check it out

If someone knows the why behind this bizarre thing I'd love to know.

I think what you meant to say was that it turns out I have a profile on escapistmagazine.com for some reason due to my teen.com profile...

Also, to answer your question

DEFY MEDIA

Any Defy Media owned website (which includes The Escapist and evidently teen.com) is connected with your profile.

This is pretty weird. Guess it is time to enjoy my last few months as a teenager before I finally become 20.

Yup, this came up about this time last year - we all have profiles on other Defy Media sites, whether we have ever visited them or not. I recall people asking for accounts to be removed from all these other sites but apparently it can't be done without nuking you from all Defy stuff, which would take an ungodly amount of effort with the number of sites they run. Given my age I find the fact I have a teen.com account creepy as hell, but I'm never going to visit to see for myself if there is an option of deleting the damn thing.

There are a few of these around. Warcry is another example.

It seems Defy Media are rather fond of cross-site 'universal logins'.

Wow, this site. What little there was in the forums was actually kind of hilarious, it's almost too bad the forums are a ghost. How come the Escapist doesn't have a 'secrets' subforum where I can post about all my hawt crushes?

I see there is also a lol news section containing all the best rofls for today's teen like "That's So Raven Jokes That Prove It's the Dirtiest Show." Because that's what the young folk want now days, photoshopped jokes about a show that's been off the air for 9 years.

Also:
"15 Hilar Examples of the New Selfie Trend, Fish Gaping"
"15 Hilarious Misuses of the Word 'Fleek'"

What the heck do "fleek" and "hilar" mean? Is this how kids talk now days?

I'm pretty sure all sites use the same database[footnote]most likely MySQL [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL][/footnote]. Even if they have separate databases, changes to one would have to be automatically propagated so it would be essentially the same.

Nicki Minaj: How i feel alot like Roman Zolanski said:
Well..Ok this is going to sound VERRY strange but here it is: I feel like i have a second person in me.Why? Well because she talks to me.Not just me talking to myself but she actually responds to what i think or feel or how i act towards people.She can be very sweet and caring but alot of the time she makes me feel self consience about how i look. She?s vain but talented.She?s 5?11, Model perfection slim ( with a fabulous butt) She has strawberry blond hair, hazel eyes and she?s african american and indian with a little white in her.She helps me ALOT with my wardrobe..I think she came not to torment me like the kids at school do but more be my bestfriend.Sometimes i laugh to myself because she said something funny about someone and people stare at me weird.She gives me confidence and poise whenever im about to go into anything that deals with performing in front of people.And how this ties back to Nicki Minaj ( who I L O V E) is that Nicki has Roman who guides her and lives inside her..And thats where her beauty and inspiration comes from.And Sasha is like the sister i?ve never had before in my life.And no i don?t have personality disorders! Seriously though, Sasha has like a whole complete different life then me. She started out when she was 5 into beauty peagents and later on ballet. She won all of her peagents and had her manager ( aka her moms bestfriend a world renown ex supermodel) sell every dress she won for millions of dollars to random rich people who wanted them. Later on everyone had started to notice that Sasha had a not only beauty but a wonderful voice and so at age 11 she decide to open her own record label with the money she saved from which she was 5 and started her music career. It turned out succssful! Now she is 15 yrs old (Like myself) OH YEA, She was born December 5. Anywho her and her dad don?t get along very well because he?s this bible over religous guy and he feels guilty that he didn?t stop her success in the ?world? but she still thrives and loves her father and mother and two sisters. And this is my confession about my inner person.

Thank You, M

Ooookaaayy...i am unsure what type of site that is, nor do i care to find out. But last time i spent more than an hour around more than one teenager conferring amongst each other, i had to suppress the greatest urge to slap all of them, and my past teenage self in the face. It was horrible! How do we defy this "defymedia?" Is it planning something grand for us all? Should i pack my suitcase for transcendence?

Dear god, it's like they're talking a completely different language.

(Then again, they probably say the same about us and our 'RPGs', 'SJWs', and 'QTEs')

Another Defy site that uses the same Escapist code is EveryJoe.com

They even use the same webcode and structure that we use for March Mayhem, albeit that they use it for an entirely different purpose:

That's just weird, it makes sense though... The problem is that the database thing is going to cause issues for people who use one site for one thing, then this one for totally different applications.

On that note the fact that they use the same data base, wouldn't that mean all the Defy Media sites have the same web team? If so that would explain a lot of the truly horrendously backwards and inefficient things the site and forums do.

Welp, time to get myself on FBI watch-list!

I jest, I jest.

I'd end up on Interpol 'cause I live in Europe
