This community rocks! (a 5000 post thread)

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Hi. Well, I guess I'm getting my Neo. AWESOME!

Anyway, I've provided two choices for y'all.

Spoiler: If you want to listen to me ramble about how I love this community, click here

So when I originally took the first tentative steps into this community I didn't expect to be noticed. I just posted comments on Zero Punctuation videos (I was actually visiting the site weekly for ZP two years before I joined) and went back to Youtube. When I did eventually go over to the forums, I discovered that there was actually a lot of meaningful topics being covered as well as the usual internet games and whatnot. I gradually started posting and met a few awesome friends along the way.

It wasn't until I started getting quoted that I noticed I was contributing. People online noticing my opinions and challenging my ideas? Wow! How cool is that! I started watching other shows here on the Escapist (There Will Be Brawl and Apocalypse lane were awesome XD) and read the articles that people were putting up. The site introduced me to the LRR crew, the group who are officially now my favorite online comedians as well as keeping me up to date in gaming news. It might just be my imagination but this site seems to be full of people who are willing to help others despite dealing with their own lives.

Before I came here I was generally on Youtube and Facebook. As everyone knows, both sites are infested with trolls and I generally avoided discussion on the internet because I figured most of it was the same. So when I came here and found that the frequently moderated forums encouraged real life discussion instead of just pointless arguments I jumped onboard. Its awesome hearing stories like Mr. Pandah's [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.244675-Thanks-guys?page=1] where a community of strangers didn't just stand by and wonder if all would turn out for the best. This is a community with a huge heart as well as a great sense of humor. I feel that while we all have different tastes, we are united by the great site that is The Escapist and the common experience of falling down a pit in Mario Bros.

Thanks for letting me be a part of your community guys, you all rock!

NOW WHERE'S MY BADGE?!? XD

[HEADING=2]What is your favorite dessert?[/HEADING]

Mine is Bakers Boys Cinnamon twists. If I knew where to buy them here in Vancouver, I can guarantee you I'd be obese.

Your turn! XD

[sub]Grammar Nazi's, do your worst! I'm too happy to care if you butcher my ability to post XD[/sub]

 

[Marter]

My favourite desert is probably pie. Apple pie, to be precise. Tastes really good. I like many other deserts too though.

Happy 5000th post Redlin!

 

[Neonbob]

Congratulations, Reddy!
I'm glad you enjoy the site as much as you do!
As far as desserts go...I think the apple pizza from CiCi's is fucking amazing. [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3052/2822572390_664ea20a61.jpg]

 

[Dango]

Congratulations on your awesome new badge! Hopefully I'll be joining you soon enough...

And when it comes to deserts I absolutely love ice cream sandwiches.

 

[Irridium]

Glad you enjoy it so much. And congrats, I guess. I don't know, I never really cared about my post count. Even when it apparently "mattered" way back when.

Either way, good for you.

As for dessert, a giant, warm, fudge brownie covered in chocolate syrup and whipped cream.

*drools*

This site is awesome, there is no getting around it.

[sub]I've never had desert pizza. Can I order some online? [/sub]

Also this is post 5001 I'm ecstatic!

 

[smearyllama]

Congrats!
My favorite dessert probably doesn't exist.
If I had to choose one, it'd be Amish Friendship Cake.

Grats on the posts!

OT: Banoffee Pie. No contest...

Well done, Redlin! I see you a lot, and you're a great guy :3

Anyway, mine is lemon sorbet. It's so gooood!

You've got the forum knack I guess. Congrats on being punctual

[sub]Originally this was going to be kind of a history buff post but then I figured "Everyone likes desert, lets talk about desert!" [/sub]

 

[Tartarga]

My favorite desert is Pumpkin Pie with some whipped cream on top. Freaking orgasmic, and congratulations on your 5000th post.

 

[interspark]

congrats! i'll have to wait till i post this to be sure of my post count as for desert? you can't beat a good sundae! with vanilla ice cream, bananas, syrup, crumbled biscuits and all manners of sauces! but NO juicy fruits!

edit: bleah! post 1546

 

[Sassafrass]

Hmm, I've begun to see the darker side of this community in recent weeks. But then again, people whining about what this site used to be like and complaining they aren't remembered is pretty much what happened this time last year, and pretty much once a month since that massive rant back in January. We'll have to see what happens.

But that's really here nor there, it's for another thread.[footnote]Which I get the feeling will be arriving oh so very soon, either by my hands or someone else's.[/footnote] So, congrats on the 5K posts, have a good time and enjoy your badge when you receive it.

As for my favourite dessert, I don't really have one. Just give me some form of strawberry yoghurt and I'll be fine.

Do they have the technology for that? ;p

OT; My fave desert is hot chocolate fudge-cake. With icecream.

Yum yum.

Yes, they do. It consists of...

It's pretty awesome, and the double chocolate variety, after being left in the freezer for a while, is especially delicious.

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Congratulations!

My favorite dessert is probably a tie between ice cream sandwiches and brownies. They're both so delicious!

Hmm, I've begun to see the darker side of this community in recent weeks. But then again, people whining about what this site used to be like and complaining they aren't remembered is pretty much what happened this time last year, and pretty much once a month since that massive rant back in January. We'll have to see what happens.

But that's really here nor there, it's for another thread.[footnote]Which I get the feeling will be arriving oh so very soon, either by my hands or someone else's.[/footnote]

I've noticed a few of these posts springing up lately too but I still think the good outweighs the bad. I just hope you stick around, you're a pretty cool guy and I've enjoyed reading your posts.

[sub]Not every community is perfect but I do think the Escapist is still pretty great.[/sub]

 

[Steppin Razor]

people whining about what this site used to be like and complaining they aren't remembered

People complain that other users don't remember them? That's uhh... yeah, that's just a tad stupid.

On topic: Congrats on the 5000 and such. As for favourite dessert, hmmm...
I don't really have a favourite. All depends on the mood I'm in at the time, although anything smothered in chocolate and with some form of alcohol involved is always welcomed.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Lemon meringue pie, because my mama made it when I was small.

mmmm.... pie.

Anyway, 'grats on the posts, I know some people don't see any merit in it, but I sort of do. Commitment, man! But yeah, Escapists hurrah! We're pretty awesome. I guess we're not perfect (who is? and more importantly, who cares?), but we're good enough.

Yeah, I agree, the good still does outweigh the bad. It's just that normally when someone posts that this site was better a couple of years ago, something normally happens at some point down the line, either a small event or a fairly big one. And I'm not underestimating the site exploding if/when that happens either. Remember the shit storm when the Escapist announced the Publisher's Club? Hell, even my group, PRIATE, got caught up in a shit-storm lately.

But, as long as I've got a few friends here, the Forum Games section still exists and I can PM people, I'm pretty much gonna be here for as long as I can be here. Plus this is the only site I know of with a User Review section. Love that section, I just need to get more active in there myself.
