It seems like a good forum for the most part, I just started going here recently. And it was only because of yahtzee, but it's one of the few boards I post on at this point. There's generally a better intelligence-to-shit ratio than you find on most forums. Decent place, doomworld is still my favorite, but it's a good place.
I always thought Escpanoughts sounded cooler. At lest when compared to 'pists which kinda sounds like pissed. And I don't want to be forever know as 'pissed'.wilsonscrazybed said:
[em]Hi pissed, how's it going?
Oh pissed, I'm loving that new glove your wearing on your right hand.
Sorry, pissed, but I'm leaning you because I hate you.[/em]
Here, Here! I'm loving my time at the escapist. I used to be a Gamespot poster under the name Head_Psychosis. So many wasted hours trying to educated morons... *sigh*Fritzvalt said:
This is why I side with 'Pistons. If said with the appropriate inflections (peezt-ONz) it has a good ring of culture and intelligence which is what I think this board prides itself on. I don't mind "The 'Pist" but just calling us 'pists seems kind of ... unsatisfying.bodyklok said:
Escapnoughts isn't bad but it's kind of long. It's got the right kind of mood but I wouldn't want to use it more than once in the same sentence. "I and a couple other Escapnoughts were talking about the Escapnoughts who still love yahtzee. I've made this thread to ..."
Agreed. 'pissed just doesn't give me a feeling of identity, which is what I'd like our community pronoun (Not sure if thats right) to do.Khedive Rex said:
I see what you mean. Maybe we should use Escapanoughts for formal greetings, "Welcome, my fellow Escpanoughts." and Escapists, Escapees, 'Pistons for light conversation.Khedive Rex said:
Something to keep in mind: The Escapist works (when it works) as an intelligent forum in part because we have relatively strict mods, but really, in the end it's up to us. Members are the real quality-control team here, all members. If you like the forums as they are, help keep them clean.
--Don't make pointless threads.
--Don't make repeats of threads that were done just a couple days before.
--When you get in a debate, fight fair and don't turn it into a personal fight.
--When someone is doing one of the above "don'ts", hit the report button and PM the mods. Don't jump in, flamethrower ablaze with righteous wrath.
--If you have a question, comment, or criticism to make about the moderation, PM the mods and discuss it in private. Airing your grievances in public on the forum does nothing but make their jobs more difficult.
--Read before you post. If you are posting to a hot thread, read what other people have already written first. You point may have already been made, countered, defended, and settled by previous posts, and rekindling it further down the thread just adds to the length and repetitiveness of already overlong and overly repetative threads.
