The Escapists You Recognise

[Incompl te]

What Escapists on these here forums do you find to be the most distinguishable, the most famous to you ? If you can recall, was there anything in particular that made these people memorable for you? Also, do you think of yourself as a known name on the Escapist?

Personally, I don't think of myself as a known name here. I've been inactive for nearly a year now, and only started posting again about a week ago.

For me, people like New Classic, Ultra Joe, Xitel, Pimppeter2, Berethond stick out as those I really acknowledge with the Escapist.

I don't tend to pay attention to people based on post count, which is what distinguishes most "famous" escapists in the minds of most people as far as I know. I guess I have nobody to mention. I couldn't name half of the people in my very limited friends list.

Usually it's the folks who make their posts worth something. People like Inverse Skies, Cheese, cuddly tomato, NewClassic, Scott, and Khell. You know, people who actually contribute to the growth and intelligence of the website. You might agree or disagree with what they have to say, but you can't deny they're contributing fresh viewpoints in a competent way.

Then there are people I recognize but strongly dislike, because I see them as part of a growing fad that rewards quantity over quality. Sure, you can have both, but it's just more logical you'll have more of one than the other. It's like the classic "Which 'R' ya filled with" Kill Bill question.

I try not to, but I can't help but judge the quality of a user by their post count. A bad habit of mine.

Probably Furburt, although I haven't seen him in a while (maybe I'm looking in the wrong places). I don't really recognise him from his post count but more the fact he is always there when I go to post.

 

[Sassafrass]

Pimppeter2, VaudeVillianVeteran, Lambi, Neonbob and, of course, Furburt and Hubilub. Oh and IdealistCommi.
And what made them memorable in the order they are listed above.

• Good advice in helping me star reviewing.
  Fun to be around and to talk to.
  Also fun to be around and talk to.
  Good guy, good times are had chatting with him.
  Knew before he was 'famous' and was cool then and is even cooler now.
  Look at the above reason.
  Is the resident Communist. And also funny.

I don't think of myself as a known name as when I do, I die a little inside. No idea why, though.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I recognise most people who have a post count larger then 8000 and anyone who is here regularly. Especially if their avatar is distictive.

 

[AvsJoe]

Lets see...

Furbert
NeonBob
Hubilub
Diagonal Horizontally
Nivag
NeoAC
Amnesiac
Pararaptor
Suiseiseki IRL
Souplex
UltraJoe

These are people so far who... I guess I am a fan of for lack of a better collection of words.

EDIT: I'm not a known/famous member of these forums but I'm sure many of you have seen one or two of my posts before.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Probably most people who regularly post in the faction, like Namless, Furburt, Asturiel, Bloodythoughts, Lycanthrope, Xpwnential (which I can remember, just not pronounce),and UnusualStranger, to name most of them.

And I can name most of the people on my friends list with relative ease.

 

[scorch 13]

Oh god now all the egotastic people are going to show up.

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Oh, I recognize Eukaryote Factualsquirrel

Oh, and this as well obviously.

EDIT: I'm not a known/famous member of these forums but I'm sure many of you have seen one or two of my posts before.

I have, but only remembered your avatar

[Gigaguy64]

IdealistCommi
NeutralDrow
AuraGuardian
Suiseiseki IRL
ChromeAlchemist

Hail Fire

These are the few off the top of my head.

 

[Sassafrass]

We never left. Hi! *Waves*

And I've just remembered a few more users who caught my attention and I respect in a way.

Satin6t, LordNue, Sleekgiant, Domble, Cleril, Guitar Gamer, Ren3004, COR2000 (If you're reading this, COR, where are you? Forum Games misses you) Swollen Goat, Empireth (Also sadly missed), Last of the Chinchillas, Poopie McGee, Dalek Sec and TheNumber1Zero.

EDIT: I forgot everyone else on Forum Games as well.
Take a leaf out of Pimp's book and blame the French for my mistake.

That's how most people remember me.

 

[mikecoulter]

Furbert
NeonBob
Pimpeter2
New Classic
IdealistCommi
Suiseiseki IRL

NewK only has a little over 2k posts; far from a high post count.
I'm sorry, but post count doesn't mean anything. Berethond is a post-count highbie, is a decent poster and has been around since '08, but no one remembers him. Poor guy...

Yeah, it's also how I remember most people outside the faction. [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Faction]

 

[Dusty Donuts]

Funny, but the only people I can really remember on the one-off are:
Hubilub
Furburt
and for whatever reason;
Fluffy Bacon

 

[Citrus]

I don't recognize any users. I just recognize a bunch of avatars. I don't pay any attention to post counts or usernames, to be honest.
