Escapist is Less civilised than Youtube comments, More Civiised than Any Memebase Comments, and about as insane is The Bay12Forums - With less magma, blood, Goblins and Baby Merpeople farming.
Less civilised than youtube comments? Really? That's pitiful on our count.Jimmybobjr said:Escapist is Less civilised than Youtube comments, More Civiised than Any Memebase Comments, and about as insane is The Bay12Forums - With less magma, blood, Goblins and Baby Merpeople farming.

I know, right! I bet we're the only ones who realize its not meant to be taken seriously.Kopikatsu said:Depends on the topic. Seriously.
Make a topic with 'Am I the only one...' in the title and watch how you get destroyed by the community. Even though 'Am I the only one' isn't meant to be taken seriously. It's a figure of speech for godsakes.
I consider myself to be the Escapist's most infamous/successful troll, though. It's much too easy to get people riled up here.
If you give ideas on how to improve the website, you are a troll and will be banned.Vault101 said:whats wrong with TV tropes?thelittleman66 said:From what I have seen, these forums are okay. Not as bad as tvtropes, but can grow uncivilized with one proper comment.
anyway although I havent had much itnernet experience thease forums seem pretty good, although I do fear moderator wrath at times..but I think its a fair price to pay
This is a rather nice analogy. Props to you!canadamus_prime said:Let's put it this way, it we were to compare it to evolution, then the Escapist is living in caves and just learning about fire while the rest of the Internet is still just crawling out of the ocean.
Yep like nintendo or anything related to nintendo. Then what looks like a civil forum turns into the usual bandwagon of hate like the rest of the internet.white_salad said:It's a very civilized place until you bring up something the escapist doesn't like. Then it turns into the normal internet.
New members tend no to know how the rest of the internet tends to think of the Escapist forums but then again the rest of the internet thinks the same of itself. I've yet to go onto a forum that has said good things about another forum unless that forum has ties with the other forum.Nokiro said:To the people talking about 4chan: you do realize most /v/ hates us right?
I want to start by saying that I love your avatar, retyopy. It never ceases to fascinate me.retyopy said:Compared to the rest of the internet, I mean. On one hand, we don't seem to say "FIRST!" or call each other homophobic fags as much as other forums. But on the other hand, all the old members constantly complain about how "the forums used to be better" and "we used to have better threads!"
So... You guys!
Lol I've seen your posts and you have a long way to go. There have been trolls that have rickrolled mods and others that have spawned flame wars lasting up to a 1,000 replies. You have a long way to go before you can claim that. Whether you are serious or not about the claim is irrelevant but scope of the successful trolling that has gone on here needs to be noted.Kopikatsu said:Depends on the topic. Seriously.
