When you find it so nostalgic to talk about stuff, that you ended up looking up that conversation when you were drunk for the first time using the date of the the Farscape DVD set to find it.
So here it is I'm the a anime girl talking about being drunk for the first time obviously, sadly the most amusing part of the conversation is lost as that was in a User Group chat, where I actually started posting when I wanted to cry really badly (As described in this post) and made everyone kinda worried because they thought I was seriously depressed, but I was just drunk.

Fuck, so you really are Kaleion. I was actually wondering, considering Mexico and you mentioning your new username is from the first letter of your old username, but at that point I have been away enough from the forums that I couldn't be sure it wasn't some other Mexican. I'm happy to see you still around.
So, OT: You know you've been in the Escapist for too long when you have a sudden reunion with a person you used to spam Forum Games with back in 2012 despite having been interacting to them in the new forum for at least a couple of months now.
When you recall a bunch of users and realise you haven't seen them post in ages, whether in V1 or V2 at all.
When you try broadening out to a different forum but it's all scary and strange and nobody there is a name you've put on your will and testament.
You say that like your current one isn't. We all know your avatar wasn't wearing pants in the original picture.

Ah, but are you cringing at your old posts though? Apparently I used to make lots of painfully unfunny jokes back in the day, good thing I'm hilarious nowdays...

Yeah, I guess I am that robot/guy/girl/space mutant lobster, to be entirely honest I wasn't expecting people to remember me at all, also I'm like at least 70% less edgy now maybe that's why you didn't catch on.
Yeah, I still like the show quite a bit and I definitely don't regret the purchase at all, I also think how I bought it is at least a cool way to start conversations, so it sits on a shelf for everyone to see.
At least for me, the cringe is real, I like thought I was cool back then, at least I know I'm a dork now.
You know you've been in the Escapist long enough when you know all Forum games get derailed with casual conversations or at least have thinly veiled conversations barely dressed up as the game.
I still remember most people, even the ones that have changed their names and avatars a few times.

When you take posting on the site as something serious.
When you see people hold grudges over text on a screen.
When you see passive aggressiveness everywhere.
When you see a load of new threads pop up all at once and you think Epic Wynn has returned.
Not that I had anything against Mr Wynn, certainly less than everyone else. He made things interesting for a while
