I came here because of Unforgotten Realm, but now that it's gone, I remain here only for the RPing and the people.

The articles are pretty nice, too.

Well, forums and videos, mostly. Forums are the ones I come to visit every day, and I do often also watch the videos here.

Zero Punctuation attracted me here.
Then I also found Unskippable interesting.
But in only signed up to post a reply to a post ... huh, I can't remember what it was...

I came for ZP and stayed for the forums[footnote]That..and it's my only social outlet. Please don't send me away, I don't want to be alone..[/footnote]. I've been lurking since '07, some time around the Halo 3 review.

I'd been on a few forums in the past and none of them were as generally friendly and like minded as this one. The last one I was really involved in was the Runescape forums. There were a few nice personalities but mostly they were 14 year olds with attitude problems.

I think "came for ZP, stayed for forums" is going to be a staple response for this thread.

Zero Punctuation took me to the stars, and then I stayed to answer every applicable poll/forum.

The forums, without question. I liked ZP for a while, but it grew to be stale and unfunny, so I stopped watching it. I never really got into the other shows, so my reason for coming here is for the forums and my friends here.

For me, I'd have to say: The forums, Unskippable, Zero Punctuation and Loading, Ready, Run. ENN as well, sometimes.

Pretty much what I was going to say.
Now to the actual reason I am quoting you: am I getting crazy or is your avatar animated? Because if so I never ever noticed that before...

I came for the neat articles. I stayed for the funny videos. And I linger because of this forum.

Like many people, I came here for ZP. Then I discovered Unskippable. Then I discovered the forums and user groups.

Now, I still watch the videos, but really, I come to the Escapist for the user groups and Forum Games.

Because of the interesting conversations you can have with interesting people from different cultures all over the world. I came here to watch ZP but I also like to watch MovieBob who I think is a tad bit underrated. Also I like the news from here... The news here doesn't seem to be affected by any bias and we even get it earlier here than some news stations... How do you guys do it??.

Big Brother is watching MMMEEE!!! -runs-.

Iridium and another member (your name escapes me...sorry! :O ) made a topic on Machinima.com asking us to join in the whole March Madness affair. I had been lurking for quite a while and decided "Why not?".

So here I am!
