Topic: What is your "That Book"?
I came here like many others: with the advent of popularity for Yahtzee's reviews. I noticed the forums had some interesting topics, so I eventually joined the club.
Since then, I've made a few friends, had a few enemies (who were circling the Ban-drain anyway), but these forums were always a place where people could at least try to act civilized. People can complain about passive-aggressiveness and general high horses, but I've never seen somebody get rewarded for spouting "gay" as the answer to something they didn't like, which automatically puts this community at some sort of higher standard...
You guys just seem to be always there to be sarcastic where others will be ignorant, be sad when others save face, and act as friends to people you barely know. And in the end, no barrage of empty threads in the world can ruin that for me.
In this thread, let's talk about why we joined, and why we stayed, and all have a big hug-and-cry fest.
On August 8th, 2011, I dipped my foot into the Escapist community for the first time. A thousand posts later, and I've come to appreciate you guys for much more than I had thought then.
