I was wondering how everyone would react if the Escapist suddenly announced they were merging with Facebook.

I would crawl back into the abyss that is 4chan...

It would be horrible...

I'd have to use my welcome thing about a million times, and I'd probably get banned after going absolutely ape-shit at people.

Why? What exactly would be different other than tons of new people coming in from Facebook?

Then we would rally up all the Escapists and assault whatever building is Facebook's HQ. You know Furburt would be up for it.

I probably wouldn't come to the Escapist anymore, I'm already tired of twitter and facebook connecting with everything else. Seriously the other day I updated my AIM and oh joy it now connects with facebook so the few hundred people on facebook are assigned to my buddy list and I get to hear the logging on/off sound every 5 seconds.

Everything. You saw what happened at the March Mayhem voting forums. They don't know what they're doing.

I would probably leave this site.

Facebook is not a forum, it's a dumb social networking site where all you do is post pictures and write one sentence comments. If it merged with an actual forum like this, the quality would drop instantly.

OOOH! That sounds fun!

To the OP(p7, see what I did there?), why did you change your avatar? This one's okay, but the old one was better, I think.


OT: I think the banhammer would swing dozens of times every minute. I'm also thinking there might be an epic last stand of Kuliani staying behind to monitor the site and keep it clean while the rest of us migrate to some other, pure, site. Just before we leave we give him a bottle of brain bleach and nod solemnly.

I'd suicide my account.

Post stuff like giant hentai pics or something.

Link to bad stuff, like sites with viruses.

I'll be vague...

I would need three hundred feet of PVC pipe, three trained squirrels, and an industrial crate of Lucky Charms...

Moral of the story is that nobody from Facebook associated with the merger would be left alive.

I'd become bitter, and spew hate on the forums, while ignoring everyone that isn't part of the escapist elite.

Yeah, probably leave it after a while.

Leave. Instantly.

Not to mention all the crappy apps they have, as well as everyone bugging you to use them. Hell, there's a reason I deleted my account on there.

I'd rage, and I'd help on any raid or DOS attack on FB, because the two sites are simply not compatible.

Step 1: Post a lot of Nazi propaganda. Like, a lot. And openly insult staff in the same thread.
Step 2: Go find a better site, because this one would become worse than 4chan.
Step 3: ?????
Step 4: Profit, i guess. How - i do not know.
