What was your first impression of the Escapist as a poster?

Christ I remember those days. Me and you would go head to head on Forums games. You sir, are what kept me from killing myself during my spares in high school

Sweet! I'm putting that on my virtual resume!
*writes that bit of detail in*
Would you say that was out of interest or me keeping you up way too damn late and you lacking the energy needed to off yourself?

I stayed up way too late far too often back then on this site...

More of I was stuck in the student lounge and it was either do homework or go on the internet, and you saw which one won

Haha!
Kind of a no contest situation, wasn't it?
Aaaand it's still the same for me

I came here for the ZP, lurked on the forums for a few months and then joined. Has been awesome ever since.

this is the only forum i have ever used, and i have to say that over all its been rather disappointing. people have told me that other forums are much worse and that makes me wonder why anyone would want to use them. when i first started posting here i really had no experience with trolls, grammar nazis, general forum users, etc... i quickly became familiar with it all though, and then it all became really predictable, and then of course boring. so i stopped posting for a while. here lately i have been giving it a second chance because im bored and i do like a lot of the videos here and of course video games.

one thing that bothers me is most all of my threads have been complete failures, i mean not even one comment.

Try out a group, it makes the experience a whole lot funner.

Also, trolls - I find very hard to believe, if anyone trolls on this site - at least they use decent grammar.

there has been a few trolls since i have been here. i dont really know how many trolls are a lot or a little since this is the only forum i have ever used. i have heard that youtube is full of trolls, and that this forum is better.

I've said it before, I'll say it again;

At least the trolls on this site are subtle, use proper english and grammar.

First thought " Too liberal" after a few more looks my second thought was " I can see where most of these people are coming form maby I can learn somthing more about the world" not in exactly those words but something to that extent.

ZP was introduced to me by a classmate. I spent a year lurking and wondering if I should join or not. Until eventually on the 10th of September 2009 I joined this site and I don?t plan on leaving, ever.

Also my first thread was about foreign music and my first post was advice on what anime to watch.

I?ve had one complaint about grammar, one warning and no probations or suspensions.

I actually just decided to stop freeloading and decided to make an account here so I could join in with you guys.

But yeah, ZP brought me here, and I decided to explore the site, saw it was entertaining, and as of today decided to jump in.

With this guy except I joined awhile ago.
