I don't really know. I mean, I love the Escapist, there's no doubt about that, but the Escapist was the first and only forum I ever posted on, and I never thought I'd like them. I like to think I've come a log way from the Yahtzee fanboy who only signed up for the right to worship Yahtzee like everyone else(God, admitting that makes me want to hurl).

I joined the Escapist at first because a friend pressured me into it. He showed me all the discussions and such but what really drew me in were the lyncher RPs. I missed most of them, which sucks, but I found plenty of other RPs that were interesting. I don't stick around just for the the RPs but they are an important factor, my posts in off topic discussion are a lot less.
I take full credit for everything he's ever contributed to the Escapist.

I came for the Yahtzee, I stayed for the intelligent discourse and great writers' forum at User Reviews. As long as I'm here, might as well post on the other fora, right?

(and I like to think I didn't make too much of a n00b of myself in the first couple weeks).

Actual people talking back. Not just those things that swear constantley, can't spell and have nothing to bring to the table conversation and arguement wise.
Ironyyyyyyy
This would be an example of someone not bringing anything to the table.
That's because he brings the whole table...

Because it offered me a cookie, which I still haven't received......

Oh, that and the sheer fantacularity of it all. Once you hit Pulitzer Laureate you CAN, in fact, make up words like that.

Just wait until you go Gonzo.

I've been wondering this for a while, what's with the whole "Copy Clerk...Pulitzer Laureate...etc" thing?

EDIT:
btw, smitty, is that a "Clockwork Orange" reference in your name?

Remember, there's a lot more of you than there are mods, and you guys can sure crank out a pile of posts - more than can reasonably be expected to be monitored in a real-time basis. This is why the Report function is so important. Think of it as calling in an airstrike: sure we've got planes orbiting, but mark the target with smoke and we're more likely to spot it.

I'm pretty sure quite a few of us reported him calling me a "wack-job" and a *****.

What did that amount to? Three days or something.

And i stay here for the fact that the Mods, merciful so they be, are ceaselessly vigilant.

Surely there must be some hope located in you. Would you have ventured to make this forum if there wasn't.
