I used to frequent the Escapist as FriendoftheFallen ages ago. Missed the less batshit crazy members of that site and happy to see a few of them are here.

Thanks. I miss the old Escapist forums but got rather sick of arguing with people who think those who disagree must be culled. Was a bit of fun but ultimately pointless. A shame this place is a bit slow. Oh shit, Signa, you're one of the old guard. You probably remember my original handle more since it's still in your recently befriended by list. A basement oriented mod was pretty devious on that account. I stopped posting anywhere but Wild West and she saved a post of mine to punish me for that was a few weeks old. Hit me before I could appeal and get my bar lowered (which was usually done promptly by any other mod or admin once they realized how biased said mod was) I thought it was me being an asshole until I heard from others they were just biased and totally tolerated worse crap from people on her "team." No wonder the place spiraled down to shit. Tribalist mods are inherently corrupt or incompetent.
Rant aside. Good to see some old names on here. Anyone know what happened to Dudeist?

Howdy! What was your avatar on the Escapist?

DudeistBelieve or something like that? What ever DID happen to that guy... I remember him making a couple of threads in the Wild West, can't remember what happened to him though...

Nope, more like before you got involved in R&P.

Sup FriendoftheFallen.

Yeah, no shit. I've gone back less and less since I started posting here and it's so amazingly oppressive and so toxic there. I got a strike recently for telling someone that they were crossing the line and probably were going to get mod wrath. We both got a warning, but I was able to appeal mine. Still, it should not have happened.

Welcome I guess, to be honest I don't remember you but I'm glad to see a new face here.
You guessed correctly. Thank you for the welcome. I tended to stick in a couple forums so you likely didn't read my ramblings unless you frequented the more contentious subs.

Thank you. It has been a bit. I saw a couple of Arnox's recruiting posts while lurking in Reddit. Recognized his name from the Escapist, checked out the site, saw no subterranean felines as "moderators" and gladly joined.

I used to use an avatar of Malcolm McDowell as the great emperor, Caligula. My annoying quote was "7-11 is an inside job!"

DudeistBelieve was his name and I enjoyed the Lebowski vibe as well as watching him try and be a sweet little centrist in the midst of everyone's passive aggressive vitriol. He struck me as a soul a bit too pure or innocent for what the internet has become. He had a website but don't remember it. Guess I should google it sometime.

I remember you but mainly because of the Aragorn avatar. You would very seldom post in the same forums as myself.

That's about right. How's it going, Mono?

Yeah some of the forums had hypocritical mods. Well at least one forum. One unnamed, unhinged individual could demand cullings of and erroneously label anyone right of Stalin a Nazi and get a pat on the back but if anyone said that might be wrong they'd get an infraction. The admins seemed much more reasonable but it still doesn't make up for that horseshit.
