It is the end of the year, and many Escapists are no longer with us.
Some left of their own account--requesting Bans because they felt that they spent too much time here and needed the closure to prevent them from lurking (I saw one Poster say this), or, as with Boudica, because they were so angry about something that they requested a banning to burn the bridge behind them.
Others were cast out. Pariahs who treaded upon the Rules and Guidelines once too many times.
Others practically begged to be banned. Jesse Ventura [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/Jesse%20Ventura] did that. He got bored, I think.
Despite years of lurking there are many of us who have been Posting at the Escapist for only a short time and often we hear of names which other Escapists speak of with a sense of loss or *shudders* horror.
Just what was it that Zeel did that warrants dread and taboo?
And there have been other names I have heard that people speak of...ones who went down with flames because they simply posted one too many Low Content Posts.[footnote]Watch yourself, Vault 101!!![/footnote]
