Also, I just looked back at my friends list... Blast from the past, man...
Pimppeter2, Fat Man Spoon, TheNamelessGuy, PayJ567, Insanum, Julianking93... To name but a few guys I remember being prolific but never see posting any more. Also Furburt, but I'm fairly sure he was banned.
I'm here! I'm stubborn as hell though. Even if someone told me to leave I'd chain myself to the website and only move in my own time.
can't believe it's been 3 years...
I haven't seen many of the old posters recently, or I've only befriended the old ones recently, a lot of the newer ones are nice too.

I joined basically because of Yahtzee. I remember a friend of mine introducing Zero Punctuation to my teammates, though I didn't really pay that much attention to him until a year later.
...Man, I really need to go back in time. Then, maybe I could save the world from something I could have stopped... But I digress. I'm from 2008 and I'm still here.

I arrived to The Escapist to find people with a working cerebrum, Zero Punctuation and Extra Credits.
I guess I'll make a appearance just for you. To prove how old a member I am, I remember when unforgotten realms was around and Zero Punctuation just came out. I guess I should also mention doomsday arcade, though I was never a fan of it. Also there will be brawl and ENN.
I don't post around here much anymore. Not sure why, just lost a taste for the Forums.

Insanum left for a while, but he's back now. He just doesn't post often enough to get noticed again. =PDaffy F said:
Again, can't remember whether it was Demented Teddy or someone else.Macgyvercas said:
Remember the Drawn to Pain series? tried checking out one episode back in the day, meh.Mcupobob said:
Well, I'm still here. I got interested in Zero Punctuation and then I decided that I wanted to jump in and join the conversations on the Escapist given that I had noticed a very anti-Halo bias on the forums and wanted to add my say as a Halo fan.
That was back in 2009 and I've been here ever since, I don't post as frequently granted but I still am always around and lurking.

I'm an older member, though I can't help but think I'm more noticeable for my avatar than anything else. I've just sort of drifted away, mostly. It truly did seem at some point that the Escapist was a more intelligent discussion site for games, where you could say what you felt about games and the most you'd get was a drive-by argument. "Oh, Reginald...I DISAGREE! *screech*" Now, however, it's become a lot more "burn the witch", while still claiming it's a more intelligent forum.
I still post reviews at least weekly, and I lurk about. But I've just become...disillusioned, I guess. I mean, there are still plenty of great people on here. But I still remember a few months back when I was going through some serious issues, and asked the people on here what I should do about it. Nine posts in was someone telling me to kill myself. He did get a warning, I believe, but I still remember when I joined, that response would probably have gotten him banned.
I still have great memories, though. I still remember a long time ago, a troll put up a thread. It was shut down about 20 pages in, 15 of which were an epic troll slaying fantasy quest. Good times.
