I think you're right. The tagline for the forum was "Welcome to the Basement", which is where I must be getting mixed up.Sir Thomas Sean Connery said:
That's the site! Also had some current members of this site. It's dead now. People started leaving in bunches and then it just died.Sir Thomas Sean Connery said:

Maybe for a while but it got changed up really frequently for a good portion of the site's life. Sometimes multiple times a day. Too many admins and too few cares to give.Soviet Heavy said:
Careful saying his name. It's like Beetlejuice, it can summon him. And if you're on the IRC at the right time of night, you'll actually see him, online and chatting.Gxas said:
I was thinking the same thing. Would people miss me if I was gone? Well, I'd expect a little curiosity thrown in everyone's direction, at least for the people with more than a couple-thousand posts and and avatar (such as yours) which sticks out from the rest. Because I start to wonder about people who post in the Forum Games for a couple of weeks then fall off the face of the earth.tippy2k2 said:
Haha, yeah, the dedication is admirable, isn't it? I'm constantly switching between my two personas...just so people don't think I'm crazy.FriedRicer said:
I will always remember [user]animehermit[/user] because of how he went out with one of the biggest bangs I've ever seen on these forums (or any for that matter). The phrase "I hope Jim Sterling eats you" will be forever burned into my memory.
Anyway, I tend to forget about people who simply stop using the site (not that I remember very many people anyway).

Anyone remember that guy who used to be willing to defend Nintendo to the point of insanity?
Name was Kotamaru or something...
His avatar was a small fat green thing with otaku glasses.
I used to like his rants he was good value.

Oh man... the last I remember of Boudica, she was hijacking a thread by defending her position that Hitler was a misunderstood historical personality, and under different circumstances would've been a great leader. Oh, and my favorite part of all threads she was involved with was where she would summon trilligan for assistance who would immediately quote and respond to everyone involved. *sigh*Vault101 said:he was disapointed he didn't get a mentionLionsfan said:.....

I also remember her particular fetish...I'm not one to judge but...Too much info...
also the amazing thing about Moonlight is her record is sqeaky clean...[i/]and she participated in gender threads[/i]
Also, I remember Mortai Gravesend. Quite a few of the (in)famous personalities all seemed to drop off the face of the earth / were purged within a few months of each other.
I've been a lurker on this site for a veeeery long time. Long before I created this account. So I have subconscious memories of a lot of the escapists. Does anyone remember that guy who had Homer Simpson wallowing in riches? I have only good memories of him, don't remember why he was banned.

That is ALL kinds of creepy!Hopefully we only helped someones Anthropology project...TopazFusion said:
Oh, fantastic. Are we going to have to re-strengthen the wards around #escapist again? You know I'm running low on eye of megatoad.NewClassic said:
There are quite a few I remember seeing a lot of back in t'day before all these dern kids started messin' up t'lawn. They acquire personal problems, drift away or forget how to internet, and that makes me sad.
Like Ultrajoe, who managed to convince us all that he was actually "Ultrajosephine" via a stand-in at the first-ever Escapism and some trickery; Labyrinth, who was almost as terrifying online as in real life; Beefcakes, who I'm fairly sure just couldn't bring himself to break 1000 posts; Anonymoustache (known to some IRCers as "Tickles") with her... refreshing take on reality; and Greyfox105, who I believe changed her username to something else but I've seen little of over the last year or so.
And then there are others, mainly Escapismers, who I don't see post but see in the real meatspace on occasion. So we haven't exactly lost contact.

You have to admit though, his kids are cute.
I can't really say about anyone I miss as the ones I miss I talk to either in texts or twitter or facebook.
Frank_Sinatra_ occasionally is still around I presume when he decides to get himself banned he'll let me know
maxthereaper I talk to on facebook from time to time and still have some old communications in my inbox between he and I but he's been banned for a while now
ummm those are the two I can think of that people might most remember.
Everyone else I can think of has gotten busy with life stuffs.
[user]Donnyp[/user]. Doesn't link to a post for why he was banned, which usually implies something off the forums.Victim of Progress said:
Yeah, she changed her name but still posts here on occasion.DragonsAteMyMarbles said:
OT: The person I probably miss the most is fellow ex-mod/partner-in-crime [user]Sevre[/user]. I also kind of miss [user]BonsaiK[/user], but I'm not fond of how he left the site.
I'll still always remember [user]Karutomaru[/user] and his Best JRPG ever thread where he and [user]Hazy992[/user] went at it for like 10 pages worth of comments. It saddens me that they don't save these threads somewhere.
verdant monkai said:
...His name was Karutomaru, and he had a profile pic of Fawful from the Mario & Luigi RPG games.sextus the crazy said:
He was banned from Destructoid, banned from the Escapist, and banned from the Destructoid TF2 server.
...And I was his Steam friend. For a while.
........I don't want to talk about it.
As for people from around the Escapist, I don't think I've been around long enough (or at least around the forums) to have any memories about people that may have vanished or were banned. And seeing as how I don't really do much other than watch videos or read articles, I...probably won't be missed, if I left. Still, I do post using my Facebook from time to time, but that's somewhat "separate" from my Escapist account.
Hahaha oh god poor big K. I know its painful but was he as funny on steam as he was on here?LG Jargon said:
The guy I always remember most was RAKtheundead (I've lurked without an account since 2009 ish). With his feelings towards women he'd never have made it through the sea of feminism threads that exist today. I'm quite bitter when it comes to relationships and other people gloating about their happiness, I'll hold my hands up to that, but RAKtheundead, he even made me think "dude, too much".
Wasn't he one of the main supporters for the Advice Sub-forum so he wouldn't have too look at relationship threads in OT anymore?Frothy Gibblets said:
He was a proper humbug but I do miss his crabby ways.
I recognise all of the names in these threads but I can never think of ones myself, I just see them posted and think "oh yeah, that guy".
