Has anyone seen Jack and Calumon? I used to see them all over the place, but I haven't seen him in a while...
Where have all the Escapists gone?

While I've been much more of a lurker than anything during my stay at the escapist, I've stopped trying to post or even checked some threads because this place has too many people being pretentious pseudo intellectual witty comments that are little less than trying to one-up each other in every thread or everywhere, and that is not good for serious discussion, and I know this pushed a lot of members away.
That and content wise, the escapist has less entertaining shows/articles to offer, and I miss the weekly issue to be honest, that and the sub-par reviews have been getting a bit worse for the most part.

Until you have somehow proven your identity, I will be working under the assumption that behind that avatar is currently a corpse hanging from a set of strings controlled by a grinning Furburt.
I'unno. Maybe I should start either making threads on a whim or putting thought into them and making them...
Fuck should I know where people went?

His account wasn't deleted, he changed the name to "Cherry Cola" (and was later banned). Due to the name-change the username Hubilub was freed up for anyone to take.anthony87 said:

All the interesting people with their own opinions all get banned. All thats left is those with the escapists approved opinion on every topic. So no one stands out anymore.
EC cost this site way more.
March Mayhem always sees a heap more leave.
And of course the ugly redesign cost even more.

Very much so. You disappeared around the time of the Great Furburt Migration, and I presumed you MIA after that. Well, until now, obviously.Hubilub said:Redlin5 said:anthony87 said:Macgyvercas said:Surprised to see me?Jonluw said:Hubilub said:

So how the hell are you, friend?
The topics here just aren't as interesting as they used to be. Whenever a new game comes out, everyone decided to make some kind of thread about it. And the original threads are few and far between. Plus threads get reposted every couple of months, which for a longtime member can get a bit annoying and repetitive.
Just curious, have you seen my avatar on someone else?brandon237 said:And almost every avatar (despite most of them being new from when I was here last) I have seen crop up at least twice.
I used to be on fairly regularly and I still visit the site every week for Zero punctuation but at the moment I am waking up early and coming back home late so I don't post in the forums as much as I used to. That and I don't really have anything to contribute to a lot of threads.
I'm fairly sure a resurgence is happening. A topic I just posted is nearly off the first page off "off topic" in the space of a few minutes. Give it time, friend.brandon237 said:
Personally, I intend to be here for years to come. Hopefully if any of my friends are here in a few years (hopefully even a decade) we can reflect together.
Edit: Also, if anyone has taken my avatar, they've taken it from me directly, considering it was given to me by an American pen pal.
No, I don't think I have seen your avatar anywhere else, although I have not been back for all too longRune342 said:The topics here just aren't as interesting as they used to be.

I do hope so, and I see Hubilub is back tooBinnsyboy said:
Maybe just maybe, if another big release with some controversy doesn't scare everyone off the forums again, and the Escapist does not go any changes in design or shows too soon. Too much change and drama at once is scary, so let us hope for some peace time now ^.^
Nay, this place seems fuller than ever, I just recognise fewer people. I always get a little smile when I see guys like you who have been around for less time than me hankering for 'the good old days', but I'll admit I think it's justified. I don't really feel like the community is as tightly knit as it used to be, all kinds of stupid things used to happen. Mostly arguments. I guess me being 3 years older changes how I feel but still. It's fairly normal that people don't stay on a forum for three years, most people get bored or get banned or something, we're probably a minority that stay for this long, I wouldn't fault The Escapist itself for that.
You know, you're actually correct. Every day I'll see the same thread over and over in the latest posts box. The only real original things are Daystar Clarion's posts about British food. Every now and then though, a gem will pop up.
