Please help me find another forum/online community.

So to put it in a far more concise way, "I am different too you all, find me some place better". My answer is: why should I help you ditch us?

Fact is from what I have seen and heard most of the internet is full of fuck, there are the odd gems. Jump ship and you'll likely end up in shit, not saying the escapist is the best but better than a site of "shut up fag" and "COD iz teh bezt game evar!obligatory1".

There are a lot of diverse people on this site, some hate them games you love and the opposite is the also true.

As Tyler Durden said "You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everyone else, and we are all part of the same compost pile." Do you think there is a magical place where everybody on there loves all the games you do and hates the same things you do? Do think that is a haven or a hell? The earth would be an awfully boring place if everybody agreed, same goes for the net.

If you're set on leaving then bye, I am certainly not helping you.

oh my god that one response with that cat whose eyes just dilate really quickly

can't breathe



OT: I'm going to echo what many other have said, Lilith: we don't hate you, we just don't like the attitude that comes with a lot of your posts. Try and go and look back over your posts and see them from the perspective of someone that doesn't know you IRL--hopefully, you'll see why flame wars escalate so quickly from your posts. :/

I am a huge anime fan. However I am alone on my tastes it seems, I love the old animes. I tried to join a forum specifically for such and I got realy excited, however it was a closed community and I didnt pass muster....when they said it's just a formality. So that annoyed me.

Overall its hard to hang your hat somewhere else.

did you have to take some kind of test or somthing? :/

I had to send a message to the head guy, And follow the guidelines to outline why you would be a good candidate to join the forums. I did so. I decided to not act like it was a job interview or a CV. So I spent an hour or two on my thing. So considering all the things said "its just to make sure you like OLD anime". I know a tone despite being 23. I went into deep back story of development of old 60s 70s and 80s anime.

I am also dyslexic. What the guy was looking for was not a dyslexic person and the way I presented myself Light heatedly. Instead it turns out I should have treated it like a Job interview and IF I still got in. Be under constant threat I could be kicked out due to not keeping up muster.

The guy never told me, I had to contact another member and had to have every pass on from them. Instead of the guy replying to me and telling me no.

It was bad, I could have reapplied and tried better, however I was so offended by the elitism I didnt want to. They had some people smiler ages to me, however they were under constant threat of being kicked. They had been around for a year and they had only 7 member's. Which the guy stated he wanted more...except he apparently wants "Perfect" people.

So yeah annoys me.

why hello! have we met?

And though must bow before her majesty, 'tis her day today!

OT: No. Please. Don't go.
My emotions threaten to burst like a sorrow filled wart, lanced by a pin of anguish.
A little to much melodrama?

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

Curse you! damned accidental doublepost!

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

This is a shame. I too have been looking for a new community (not to leave the Escapist for, just to have another place to visit) and I was hoping I'd find some suggestions. Then I saw the OP.

This won't really go anywhere, will it?

OT: Try Reddit. Its one of my other places.

 

[Malty Milk Whistle]

that's just horsing around only to go overboard. *pun intended*

That made me giggle all together to much.

I guess Lillith just wants a free Rein Yohohohoho.
Dat slaps me on the knee.

[Dr Pussymagnet]

I'm sure there are a few Touhou fansites out there.

 

[Zagzag]

I'm sorry to have to say this, but I want nothing to do with someone who is attention seeking enough to make a thread complaining about how much they hate this community. If you want to go, just go, don't waste our time telling us about it.

 

[Scipio1770]

Don't just leave a community when you aren't getting along, it's childish and it doesn't work in real life.

Matthew94 got most of what the problem is. Try listening more instead of talking so much Lilith.

 

[ElPatron]

Wait. You're the person that once posted "Men are not as under threat of rape as women. Men are not as under pressure for sex as women."

Stop rustling so many jimmies with those posts!

I'm sorry to have to say this, but I want nothing to do with someone who is attention seeking enough to make a thread complaining about how much they hate this community. If you want to go, just go, don't waste our time telling us about it.

This times infinity.

 

[Promethax]

After evaluating what I know about you, TVTropes sounds like the place for you. There should certainly be people there who share your interests.

 

[LilithSlave]

I can tell you that Japanese culture is actually not that great (for example, they stagnate on soooooo many social issues that it's like Japan's stuck several decades, if not more, in the past. And you're a feminist! You should know this kind of stuff!

Indeed it isn't. It has just as many problems as the West. I'm not that big of a Japanese culture nut, myself. I just like their video games. Just because I'm a feminist doesn't mean I can't enjoy Japanese video games.

Also, everyone, I wasn't trying to make a dramatic "I'm leaving" thread. I was looking for recommendations for good gaming sites. There shouldn't be anything odd or melodramatic about asking for website recommendations.

Don't just leave a community when you aren't getting along, it's childish and it doesn't work in real life.

Wait, what, wouldn't the foolish thing be to stay in a community where you don't belong?

If you're not getting along somewhere, you leave. That's just common sense. It's baffling that you would call staying someplace you aren't enjoying and wasting your time there, the appropriate action, and the opposite, childish. What is the wisdom of forcing yourself to be a part of something you don't like? And what on earth are you talking about when you say it doesn't work in real life? Of course that's what you do!

And people, this thread has nothing at all to do with Touhou. Don't make this a "it's not your tastes(%100) it's you" and try to bring back a whole bunch of Touhou drama. People who hold users to their username constantly and try to invoke drama of old threads that have nothing to do with them, is aggressive.

Wait. You're the person that once posted "Men are not as under threat of rape as women. Men are not as under pressure for sex as women."

Stop rustling so many jimmies with those posts!

So, pretend to hold positions on gender that I don't, and support a backwards gender mentality that I don't. Yeah, that isn't going to happen. If users here consider a user posting in a feminist fashion overly aggressive. Well, it isn't me that is the problem.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but I want nothing to do with someone who is attention seeking enough to make a thread complaining about how much they hate this community. If you want to go, just go, don't waste our time telling us about it.

I'm not making a thread saying I hate this community. There's nothing in the OP like that. I made a thread mentioning my tastes, and asked for recommendations for another site better suited to them.

I'm not interested in going anywhere unless I have an adequate replacement.

Here you say anyone who disagrees to you does not hold a valid opinion.

In that post I was obviously saying, that though there are people who don't like My Little Pony, people shouldn't care what they think.

As in, there is no reason people should challenge or doubt their own taste in liking My Little Pony just because they don't like it or don't like people who do like it. Saying people should not care what people who don't like what they like think, is not aggressive.

People can dislike whatever they want. But nobody should care what they think.

Of course, you have a long history of aggressive posting towards me, yourself. You attacked me for having different taste when I said I don't like Duke Nukem and dogpiled along with other people in trying to force me to make excuses for what I like and don't like. As if people need permission from you for what they can like, and then have the audacity to, ironically, tell me "oh dear, someone with taste other than you", or "it's just okay when you like it, huh?".

 

[AngelOfBlueRoses]

Snippity!

I'm sorry, Lilith, but when your entire post basically reads off as "I don't belong at the Escapist; we don't get along. 'help me say goodbye'" in addition to all the recent build up with you this post simply doesn't come off as anything BUT dramatic. If you really, really didn't want to be dramatic, you would have simply stated that you were looking for new gaming sites and given a well-thought out and concise description of your tastes.

 

[LilithSlave]

If you're set on leaving then bye, I am certainly not helping you.

I'm not set on leaving unless I find a good replacement. I won't necessarily suddenly leave for good. But it would be nice to find a good place to occupy my time and hopefully slowly replace my time here.

Do you think there is a magical place where everybody on there loves all the games you do and hates the same things you do?

Unlikely. But it should be possible to find someplace that I have more in common with the typical person than here. You wouldn't want to be on a Nintendo centric site if you don't like Nintendo games.

The Escapist seems to be into wRPGs, realistic games, and PC gaming, for the most part. That's what I've heard, at least. Not my cup of tea, personally.

Even in terms of topics about stuff other than video games, I'm usually riling everyone up with controversial statements on the subject of piracy and gender. Apparently a lot of people take great offense to the statement that white privilege exists, as well.

You do realise that it's her that says any opinions that differ to hers shouldn't be acknowledged?

You're bending my words again. As usual.:/

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I've asked these sorts of questions at online forums before, usually to not very good results like "why would you want to go anywhere else" or something like that. I think some people view it as advertising and I think on some forums it isn't even allowed. But I'm hoping I'll get lucky this time. I've noticed tonight I'm a bit frustrated and tempted to behave badly. And stoop down to levels I shouldn't stoop down to.

I was wondering if you could help me. I need a new site. You see, I love video games, or at least, I think I do. Being on the Escapist makes me question that sometimes. I love thousands of video games, and so, naturally, I thought I would fit in here. But I think that perhaps, things haven't gone optimally.

Spoiler

I do, I love thousands of games. There are a lot more games that I'm interested in and feel up to talking about if others want to talk about it, than I do. I love almost every single genre of video game and thus most of the games that belong to those genres. I love scrolling shooters, I love bullet hells, I love Touhou, I love DoDonPachi, I love Mushihimesama, I love Ibara, I love Espgaluda, I love Deathsmiles, I love platformers, I love jRPGs, I love Metroidvanias, I love Life Similators, I love Visual Novels, I love Racing games, I love some sports games, I love skateboarding games, I love puzzle games, I love Tower Defense games, I love Fighting Games, I love MUSHes and MUCKs, I love Raising Sims, I love Survival Horror games, I even don't mind some MMORPGs that much.

Melee, I love Muramasa: The Demon Blade, I love Super Mario Galaxy 2, I love PokePark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure, I love My Little Pony: Story of the Blanks, I love Octomania, I love Puyo Puyo SUN, I love Soulcalibur IV, I love PaRappa the Rapper, I love Persona 2, I love Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner, I love Touch My Katamari, I love PoPoLoCrois, I love The UnderGarden, I love DuckTales, I love Xenosaga: Episode 1, I love Ivy the Kiwi?, I love Klonoa: Empire of Dreams, I love Klonoa: Dream Champ Tournament, I love Dance Dance Revolution X, I love Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, I love Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, I love Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, I love Wizardry V, I love Wizardry VI, I love Wizardry VII, I love Wild Arms 2, I love Xenosaga episode II, I love Xenosaga episode III, I love .hack//infection, I love Xenoblade Chronicles, I love Star Ocean: The Second Story, I love Coron Land, I love Maui Mallad in Cold Shadow, I love Radiant Historia, I love Magical Starsign, I love The World Ends with You, I love Yoshi's Cookie, I love Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, I love Rune Factory 2, I love Rune Factory 3, I love Tobe's Vertical Adventure, I love Pop'n Music, I love Dr. Mario, the Legendary Starfy. I love so many games. I love almost every single game that exists. Or at least over half.

And yet, somehow I don't belong here. That long list of games I like wasn't for you to read all of, it was to prove a point that when I think of all the games I like, versus the games that I don't, I feel like I enjoy most video games in general. But somehow what I like doesn't fit around here, me, and the Escapist, aren't the same kind of video game fan. I don't enjoy most of what the Escapist likes, and the Escapist hates what I like with a passion.

So I need somewhere else to go. If you know my tastes, and you probably do, as notorious as I am, where I could go. A website that would be fitting for my video games tastes and desires. Someplace not completely alienating, even, would be good enough. I really want someplace to talk about video games that I like. I don't like being alone, and I hate to sound melodramatic by saying that, but I don't have an online community like that right now. Therefor, I'm kind of alone in terms of online communities. Not completely, but fairly so. And I don't want to be.

So please please help me. Help me say goodbye to the Escapist, and hello to greener pastures. And thank you for your time.

Hey don't leave Lilith. You aren't alone, I am the same way when it comes to games. The type of person that wants to talk about the good in a game way more then the bad. A person that loves all genres and a wide range of taste in those genres. I have been on this site for 3 years *this is my second profile* and I have yet to find a greater online community than Escapist. Of course this is my opinion, but a largely agreed upon opinion.

If you choose to leave, that is your choice, but I have enjoyed many posts you have made in the past and would like to be your friend on here, maybe you wouldn't feel so alone if you start talking to more people on this thread that are telling you to stay? There are lots of great people on the Escapist. As a person that doesn't like many people, I like plenty on this site, and some have left messages on this thread, like Daystar, Shinji, Vault, Matthew94 and of course Caramel Frappe, possibly the nicest person on here!

In terms of what other forums are out there, thats tough. Every forum is going to have discussions and different opinions, so maybe what you are looking for is fan sites?

 

[Giftfromme]

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME, I WILL DIE WITHOUT READING YOUR POSTS. OH I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU POSTING ON THE ESCAPIST, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!!!!! I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU!
