Its time to show your appreciation towards the Escapist Magazine! [sub]search bar approved[/sub] Rate on a scale from 1-10 of how much this website moves you and why that was your rating.

Personally, I do not get on the Escapist daily because I have no internet access on the weekends. Also, my email is a big for me as well. However, this site has changed my thoughts of how I interpret the opionions of others around the globe, as well as showing me the large variety of culture of people just like me. So, i give this site a 9/10.

What do you Escapists rate it?

5/10.
It used to be higher, but it's gotten much, much worse from my time of joining to much now. Overall, it hasn't changed me at all, other than how much I check my email.

How?

Was it the massive influx of annoying newcomers? Oh...sorry?

I love this site. Don't know anyone though. Cries.

I guess I would go with 10/10, quite a small number compared to some others here, but it shall do.

Damn it, 9001/10 and 11/10 have already been taken.

So I guess I'll have to do a boring 10/10.

I'm not good at giving things ratings, so I will just say why I like the site.

Admittedly I found myself here thanks to one Y. Croshaw, but I had also been wandering the word wide webiverse looking for a new forum. I used to frequent the MTV:2 forums when I was (a LOT) younger, and more recently B3ta, but I got really tired of the cliquey hierarchy of it. (I also tried 4chan once after lurking Imagechan for a while... Never again...)

Basically I really like the maturity of these forums, there is relatively no trolling and very little flaming, low post counts don't mean your opinions are ignored and there's a good balance of nationalities.

I've had some really interesting discussions on here and am probably going to fail the essay i'm supposed to be writing because I'm getting distracted by this forum.

So to sum up, The Escapist has some great content (in particular ZP, Movie Bob, Apocalypse Lane) and probably the most fun forum I've ever posted on.

Awww, isn't that sweet?

Everything I liked about this site has gotten worse, in my opinion, over the last few months. It isn't just one thing.

The magazine/site itself, 9/10. Always amusing, and the news stories are generally relevant, but not always. The reviews are nice, as are the other features. I mostly enjoy Unskippable, Zero Punctuation and Stolen Pixels.

The forums I try to avoid, because it's generally more of the same threads every week, mostly reposts of old pseudo-intellectual topics or "Am I/Should I..." threads in an attempt to be popular. That's a problem of the people and not the Escapist though, so I don't place any blame there.

Dear Escapist,

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Cantaloupe.

Hmm.
While my poetry could probably do with some work, the message was that The Escapist gets ten out of ten. However, it is still below TV Tropes.

I'll let you guys decide how highly I rate it.
And I've haven't watched any videos here due to really, really, really slow internet, at least for downloading and streaming stuff any way.
