I definitely recognize your avatar. I know avatars better than names, especially when they're as distinctive as yours. I know Daystar, Smash, and half a dozen others on sight.

I don't know how much recognition I have with 950 posts. Probably not much. I'd say real recognition comes at about the 2000 mark.

I'm definitely a regular. I check the site at least every other day. I make at least a post a week, sometimes ten or a dozen in a day.

I'm not much of a joiner, but..... praise 1Rookie1?

1. Not really. Maybe a bit. I'm still fairly new (relatively) and post semi-sporadically, so... eh, I don't much care about recognition. xD

2. I am fairly active. I post most days, but not that much. I don't have time to spend on this site all day anymore. And I only even post when there's a topic in which I have something to add and that isn't that often. But I'm here, whether I post or not, so I call that active.

1: Do you consider yourself a recognized member of the escapist?
Maybe?

2: Do you consider yourself to be an ACTIVE member of the escapist?
Sort of...depends on the week.

I guess I'm pretty regular. I browse every day and post on a semi regular basis.
I have had the same avatar since I joined in '09 so that should help with some sort of recognition.

No to 1 and yes to 2. I am a regular despite the fact that I don't have as high a post count as others from when I started or afterwards.

No to both questions. I keep vanishing from here for long periods of time and never post anything or contribute in any way whatsoever to this site. I should go back to not bothering anyone, so goodbye.

1. No, I do not consider myself as recognised. Not anymore. Maybe a year or two ago, but I'd say I've just about fallen from memory.
2. No, I'd say I'm not really active on here anymore. I mean, sure, it's one of my home tabs (Well, the mod queue is, even though I'm no longer a mod, so I log on to a 403 every day), so I see the site whenever I come online, and look at the front page, but I rarely browse or post anymore.

Possibly. I've made friends with some powerful people and I've gotten occasional bouts of recondition for one reason or another. Oh, and my avatar being fairly distinctive has gotten a few mentions. This is actually the first time I've changed it since I got the account - it used to be a zen circle.

lRookiel said:
2: Do you consider yourself to be an ACTIVE member of the escapist?
Not anymore - I used to post a half dozen times a day on a SLOW day. Now that I'm busy with my last year of school, I've been lucky to post a couple times a week.

No. No I don't. I got a gold star once. But that was for some dopey suck-up move to graphically depict a written explanation for an Escapist contest. I was totally brown-nosing it.
lRookiel said:
2: Do you consider yourself to be an ACTIVE member of the escapist?
Yes. Sure. Why not. I'm here every day and then some. I find the whiny drivel feedback that you young miscreants type to be very amusing. It helps me bracket the opinions of today's youth. (I am old.) Oh. And I enjoy a good cringe at the constant misrepresentation of "your" as "you're".

Are they 8-way power seats? I don't jump on any bandwagon unless it has 8-way power seats. And cup holders.

yeah I think so, but I do think people view me as annoying or something if they notice me at all.

I've actually had people pm me and say I deliberately baited them into getting a warning... :/

All I try to do is get my opinion across really, I'm shy and quiet irl.

I didn't recognise you for a while after you changed your username/avatar. Unless you never were Greyfox, in which case I've made a terrible mistake!

Used to. But I think I've just been here too long. I feel like I've seen every single thread a hundred times. Now I mostly just open up the Escapist out of habit. I don't have the energy or attention span to type at as long of posts as I used to, or to reply to people.

I'd actually say this is the site that got me really into the internet.

Edit: I've been here since 2009. Had an older account that I forgot the password.

I'm regularly here, but I'm pretty sure no one really notices me. Still not sure if this is a positive or a negative thing though, even though I've practically been here an eternity.

Yes and Yes. Most people remember me for my old Username.

I recognize quite a lot of people, mainly based on there Avatars.
