    The Escapist Countdown to Shutdown Thread: What’s Next?

    Had to dig into the back of my brain to remember my password for this, but got in eventually. Anyway, I guess this is hello again ...and goodbye. Ngl, I'm surprised so many of you are still here. When I heard the news, I was expecting this place to be a ghost town. Either way, I guess this...

    Windows 11 is out!

    Is that old saying still true, where every version of Windows always seems to alternate between good and bad? Either way, I'm getting Vista vibes from this. ie: an unnecessarily large UI overhaul, and some hefty system requirements. Well, maybe "hefty" isn't the right word, but it still...

    A Formal Thread about Activision/Blizzard

    I had no idea McCree was named after a real person. And I bet I wasn't the only one. Now everybody knows. They should've just kept quiet about this.

    Best/worst computer brands.

    That's pedantic.

    Best/worst computer brands.

    I work at a business that is (among other things) an authorized HP reseller. The number of HP machines that arrive DOA is honestly shocking.

    James Stephanie Sterling YouTube Account Suspended

    Jim used to do those short 'news' videos, which I really liked. I think I miss those videos the most. Granted, the vast majority of them were about Bethesda and/or Fallout 76. But they were informative, and if nothing else were a good bit of entertainment.

    Has Houseman been banned?

    I'm gonna say yeah, I agree. Not that I want to stop the discussion about music preferences, far from it (feel free to make that topic again, if you want). It's just annoying to see this thread bumping to the top of the forum all the time, when the discussion isn't even about Houseman anymore.

    [VID] The Escapist forums moderation is wildly inconsistent (now with data!)

    That was already answered rather succinctly back in post #4 (by Odin). In fact, the thread could've easily ended right there. It surprises me actually, to see somebody request we strictly adhere to the strikes system, because that system was one of the biggest complaints on V1. The flaw of that...

    Has Houseman been banned?

    That's what the old board did, and it came with its own set of problems. The way the old forum software would fixate on the final post that got someone banned, often meant that it obfuscated the rest of their missteps prior to that. More times than I could shake a stick at, we had people make...

    Why I Will Continue Calling Users Fascists

    Does not meet the requirements for a CE thread. A reputable news source is needed.

    The Stuff removed / changed / pulled relating to Trump

    It's almost like actions have consequences.

    Impeachment 2, the reckoning revenge redemption.

    Impeachment took weeks (or was it months?) last time. Are they really going to be able to push this through in just 2 weeks? Besides, call me cynical, but the fool has caused 4 years of damage. What's another 2 weeks?

    trump needs 11 thousand more votes in Georgia

    Clearly I'm a simpleton, because I have to be missing something crucial here. Trump has been saying for weeks that the election was "rigged", and yet here he is actually trying to rig it. Just... what?
