So you have so much sass, you have to wheel it around. Got it. :) I'm familiar with your contributions. Thanks for caring.

Wow. How do you fit through doors with all that sass? There are a few things happening here: 1. Enthusiast HQ is still building out its tech team. 2. Escapist tech was way more broken than anyone initially assumed, so it's taken a while to prioritize specific fixes. 3. There are A LOT of...

Old Escapist was first created in 2004-5, and then added onto periodically. But for the past few years, no one has really been updating it outside of some quick updates Kross made this spring and summer. Kross is no longer working with us, though The programmers at HQ have been spelunking the...

Y'all are giving me a feeling.

Preserving y'all's existing accounts and as much of the badges and other bells & whistles as possible is precisely what makes this complicated. It would be WAYYYY easier to simply install; a new forum system, but I don't want to do that if we can avoid it. I love these forums as much as you do...

Hey y'all. It's been a struggle to keep the site up AT ALL for the past week or so. But we think we've solved most of the problems we were having with the old tech. The forums will live here for now. We are working on a plan to bring them over to the new site. It's complicated. But we're...

Turning off your ad blocker would be great. Please do that. The quality of ads has improved significantly since Enthusiast acquired the site from Defy. Were will also be doing Patreons or other forms of crowdfunding to create new, possibly experimental content. Stay tuned for more on that.

If y'all are done seeing how far you can poke the bear, I'm calling this thread officially under Rule #1, which reads: "We want Escapist Magazine to be a welcoming and safe place for creators and contributors of all backgrounds. Therefore criticism, harassment, shaming, or any action deemed...

Weird. That's not in any way what happened. Almost like you weren't there and are just talking shit ... ? For the record, the PAX panel had been planned for months. We didn't post about it here because the site tech is so legitimately broken, I only have about 6 spots on the front page to...
