Remeber when this was a gameing forum?

[Freeze_L]

We are become community? Generally I like the pepole here more, there is a diverse crowd here as well. Really this is a "gamer" site but we are a diverse crowd and have much more going on than games. Hell well games were a major part of my life I find my self following games more than playing them now.

It is like saying a book club can't talk about politics. The expressed purpose of a gathering of pepole is not always the true purpose of the gathering, gaming is simply a gateway to social interaction. There is only so much you can say about games before it turns into a meme forum, no one wants that!

You come for the Gaming News, You'll stay for the community.

Lol, that last sentence could be used as a promotional advertisement for escapist. Do you work for escapist by chance? >_>

It doesn't do much for the credibility of gamers when a sophisticated establishment has threads that are mostly immature crap from kids. But video games are just children toys.

I don't post much, but I've been lurking here for years. And no, as far as I can remember, it's never been JUST about gaming.

Because wider broad of topics aren't allowed? This site is not allowed to touch more ground that it used to? It is not our fault wikipedia is out-dated.
Also... We got off topic forum for a reason.
And I don't even know what Gameing is? I assume it was meant to be "Gaming".

Off-topic is off-topic.
Escapist focuses on wide spread of subject, if you don't like it, you can leave the site.

Also: There is a difference between "voicing my opinion" and "Being a jerk". You can be honest and be polite at the same time.

Here is what i saw in the topics when i came here today:

The old belt (Parents using violence to correct you)
Female Perspective - Friend Zone
Student Exposes My Little Pony's Faulty Science
Odd features you find attractive.
Poll: The ladder theory. Do you believe?

LISTEN if i want to talk about abortion or whatever, ill go to yahoo.
if i want to talk about VIDEO GAMES i go to the ESCAPIST.

And for the haters who are ready to spam my mail as we speak, this is what Wikipedia had to say:
The Escapist (typeset as the escapist) is an online magazine covering video games, gamers, the gaming industry, and gaming culture.

EDIT: Someone cleared it up for me:

If someone posted an abortion issue topic on say, yahoo, they would want a mixed opinion of all sorts of people, from eighty year old racists to 11 year old emos.

But if they post it here they are looking for the opinion of Gamers and only gamers. Although we may have differences in opinion, we are all gamers.

I guess im just a re-re.

what?...unless somones puttign thease in the gamign discussion thread....its called OFF TOPIC where people can discuss all kinds of moral or "intulectual" issues...or you know make up crazy stories about their avatar

last Time I checked no one is forcing you to look at the off topic

or TL;DR: what the hell is your problem?
