What is The Escapist Basement?

[TimeLord]

Better question. Where is the secret volcano base?

It is where He resides - tormentor of souls and flayer of minds. It is His domain, and none who have ventured in have returned. It is said that He feasts upon their living flesh for a millennium, their screams and lamentations echoing in His dark chamber for all eternity. It is said that He will once again walk amongst us here if the trolls return, hence the Moderators were formed to combat this threat with their mighty banhammers in an endless inquisition. May He never rise again.

Or it's the place where old threads go to die. I'm not entirely sure myself...

Everything that is needed to know
1.You do not speak of the basement
2.Do not go there (you will regret it)


though regret is not enough it's worse, even worse than "the Red shiny button" I pressed it and GOD just don't press it (it still lingers under my avatar) same is for the basement but worse!

Oh good golly, WHY did I press the red button under your avatar when I finished posting on the "Do not go into the basement" thread....

Pwhaahaha you did press the red button!. Hehe warned you, but that proves the theory: buttons must be pressed especially when it says "do not press"! I guess thats how they could launch a nuclear missile by "mistake" (guy walking around afterwards mumbling -why did I press the button, WHY!)

Soo who's gonna go in to the basement since it is a "don't go in there" sign on it?

The is an old thread about the basement which can be found if you use the search bar. I would recommend that you use the search bar I'm future to avoid repeat threads.

If you do not feel like sleeping tonight, the scary thread is a good read, also accessible via the search bar.

I'd put links but I'm none too web savvy.

There are stories, but never any stories of survivors. But someone must have survived to tell the tale.

All we know is that there is something that wants you, your dog, your family, and your friends family dead.

 

[BlackStar42]

No-one knows, just don't go in there.

 

[Broady Brio]

It is the void of this world. Go in and you can never come back.

I was recently reading another thread that an Escapist newcomer posted so that he could be I guess welcomed to the escapist and I read "don't go into the basement" or something along those lines at the end of a significant number of posts. I've only been an escapist since April and finding out about this new place I've never heard of intrigues me. I just want to know what the hell this thing is honestly and if such horror stories about it are true why it would even be accessible, (unless it's not.) Be serious about it or just come up with more scary rumors but I do hope to learn something about it from those of you who know of it.

This basement? [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/loadingreadyrun/2009-The-Basement] It's nothing special :3

NO! ive been in the basement! aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! so scary!!

 

[Easton Dark]

There are grues in the basement. That's reason enough to stay away.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

its were i live

 

[therandombear]

Some say it's the balrog. Others say an entire legion of chaos marines. Some even say it's the stig.

All we know is, we don't go there anymore...

There's also the cloning machine that Kross made to clone himself....but quickly discovered that the world is not ready for that.

i imagine it to be something like that.

As one of few who ventured down there and survived, I can say it is a place to be avoided. However, for those of you who are willing to brave the perils of the basement, there is pie down there. Delicious pie.

As a more or less newfriend on the escapist it is difficult to pin down exactly what it is. It is clearly a meme here, though what it refers to is difficult to deduce. From what I can gather it seems it is/was a section of the forum where all the trolling/spamming/etc posts were transferred to, or perhaps somewhere where only banned persons could post, but probably doesn't exist anymore. Probably. Or maybe it never existed, this is purely speculation based on secondary information. Only the oldfriends here know for sure, or maybe they don't.

But you didn't here it from me...I was never here. And don't go in the basement.
