Is this site running Drupal or "unicorns and fairy dust"? This site from a technical standpoint is fantastic. The entire site runs insanely smooth.

Kudos on the great site.

I was surprised to see that videos load fast even on slower internet so the server tech is insanely good.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Kudos on the great site.

I think a lot of those thanks are to @Virgil and @Kross.

 

[ZiggyE]

I, by no means, have the fastest internet connection. However, I'm never ceased to be amazed that five minute videos on here will load in a manner of seconds.

Yes, this site does run smoothly. When I joined I didn't even know about some of the features they have. Lucky I joined, I'm only sad I didn't join earlier.

Welcome to the Escapist, enjoy your hopefully long stay. Please stay out of the basement.

I thought the title was going to end with "unicorns and fairy dust" or something. It didn't and now I'm sad.

Sigh.

Fixed it for ya.

I stumbled on this site during the great PSN drought. Read a few reviews and articles and I like what I see. I think I'll stick around.

They are God Mode coders.

Where is the golden pedestal I ordered? >.>

Yeah for me personally videos here on the Escapist load faster than any other site, including youtube.

And now my frown is upside down

Yeah I like this place. It gets a bit negative at times, and the March Mayhem that just passed was a hell of a shit storm (I'm just surprised Mojang managed to beat Valve and Bioware, the two biggest fanboy groups on this site) but on the whole, you guys are all right

We're glad to hear that. Welcome to The Escapist. Stay out of the basement, and you'll be fine. ^_^

OT: They're definitely doing something right here. I got here when Yahtzee started posting his videos on here, but was only lurking for the videos at the time. Then I started seeing the forums, how they do things around here, etc. I couldn't help myself, I had to join.

I can only remember 2 times it's gone down, and they were a while ago now, too (and only for a relatively short time). As in, over a year ago since the last time, I think...
But yes. For how (relatively) big this site is/how big it's gotten, it's amazing how well they've kept things going around here.

The Escapist runs on Redstone. Magic red dust from the depths of the earth makes most things run faster.

 

[MercurySteam]

The enthusiasm of gamers, most likely.

Connection times out way too often on Wednesdays. Other than that, no complaints.

Yahtzee's popularity will be the bane of this site.
