The Escapist forums are pretty win.

I've only been here an hour, but so far, I'm bloody impressed.

Most forums I'm a member of (it started with www.overclock.net) are full of idiots, people who contribute nothing and just tools, but so far, I've seen none of that here.

I'm regretting deliberating over signing up now.

 

[BonsaiK]

I know, we're awesome. Cheers.

Discussion value; on a scale from 1 to 10, how awesome is The Escapist forums!

 

[DazZ.]

Welcome!

Even though you're not talking about anything I've posted I'm going to say danke as well.

 

[rokkolpo]

yes, we do rock *pose* *pose*......*sexy pose*

glad to have you here, safe from cave-dwellers. (trolls)

You guys just need a PC section and you've got the best forum I've ever seen!

It's not easy to keep a forum this bustling of high quality, but you all manage it. I suspect that all the idiots get banned... lack of banning is the biggest problem at a few forums.

 

[Trivun]

Woot, we're awesome! Hooray!

Anywho, welcome to The Escapist, watch out for trolls, and be pretty careful when you navigate. The kitchen is usually full of meats that I have no idea of their origins, which is worrying, since usually the strange meats are courtesy of me... Also, the basement is usually a place people warn you to stay away from. I say don't. They just don't want you to get access to all the porn, games and snacks down there...

Hahaha, yes, he'll take the bait and then... huh? What? Why are you reading this bit? Go do something else, these are my evil plans...

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

Then you obviously haven't been here long enough.

I kid, really.
I'm not.

I am pleased you like it here (welcome to the forums by the way). As long as you don't spam topics that have been done one hundred times before or act too aggressively then I am sure you will have a great time.

There are also a few topics you may wish to view to help get you up to speed with the rules and whatnot:


Forum rules and guidelines. (Written by the community manager person)

How not to get banned. (A helpful guide to avoid trouble)


Enjoy your stay.

 

[meticadpa]

Oh, and thanks for the warm welcome, guys.

I'll definitely be sticking around for a while.

 

[Darktau]

No-ones said it? Don't, just don't go into the basement.

Also, say hi to jack and calumon

 

[Urgh76]

Just stay out of the basement

yes banning is pretty regular here.
first probation after minor mistakes to show you you're doing something wrong.

then suspension to give you a warning to not screw up in the suspension period.

and finally the BanHammer. reserved for those who constantly poison the forums.

Don't worry, you can find plenty of idiots and tools in the religion/politics forum XD
If you're feeling nostalgic for the good old days (and by that I mean bad, terrible, how did you cope? old days), that is.

Oh, and what's wrong with the basement? I got lost down there once, and nothing bad happ- OH GOD THE MEMORIES! IT WAS TERRIBLE! AAAAARGH!

On second thoughts yeah, stay out of the basement.

Nice to see a new face that enjoys the forums.

Welcome and enjoy your stay.

42. That's how awesome we are.

Platform specific boards would definitely appeal to me... but then again I've only been here for about an hour, so it's probably a little early for me to throw the suggestion out there.

It'd just be handy for the PC gamer (me) who doesn't play consoles (not because I'm an elitist, I've owned an PS3, 360 and Wii, I just can't afford to keep a PC/guitar/audio habit as well as consoles) or platform specific gamer who wanted to post about his new game, or a query or something, and have it only viewed by people who actually know what they're talking about in regards to the specific platform.

Edit: what's this basement everyone's talking about?!

 

[FightThePower]

Generally people here are pretty intelligent. But there are way too many metalheads, some variety would be nice.

Just don't even try to go there. Don't think about it, and don't ask questions.

OT: Yes, this place is good. I welcome you, and pray that you learn to use the quote button, and that you will follow all of the rules, so that you do not get yourself banned.

Enjoy your stay!
