Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2692 Joined: 3 Mar 2008    | DEFINITELY not me. I have a high post count, but don't let that fool you. I've only been here for 6 months. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2717 Joined: 18 Dec 2007    | The date underneath your profile shows how long you have been a member of Warcry as well as the Escapist. When you make an account for one, it counts to both. It is possible to have been a member of the Escapist before it was created. But I suppose the contest will go to one of the Escapist staff. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4245 Joined: 2 Dec 2007    | I needmy sippy cup (beer mug)! I think after 5 years or so, you get the group of 3 beer mugs. I've seen a few Escapist staff with those. They are gods amoungst men. |

What about Cheese_Pavillion? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4067 Joined: 24 Apr 2008  | Madness... Well, i have been here a while but i'm by no means the oldest. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3016 Joined: 21 Jan 2008   | I'm with Fire on this one; it's probably one of the staff. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1592 Joined: 14 Oct 2007  | Definitely the staff. |

Well at the moment your in the lead by 1 month to me. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2692 Joined: 3 Mar 2008 | How about "oldest NON-STAFF member?" That sounds a bit more interesting, because (Virgil?) is probably the oldest member around. And what do you mean, "probably the staff"? You can't have a non-staff member before the creators have joined. |

The Staff put alot of effort into The Escapist so we shouldnt brush them aside |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2692 Joined: 3 Mar 2008 |
Yeah, but it's a more interesting topic. I mean, you CAN point at a staff member and say "them", or you can keep this thread going for a while longer and more of a "Who's been loyal the longest?" thread. |
Beat Writer Posts: 140 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 | Done. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2113 Joined: 14 Sep 2007 | Hi, I'm Copter. I think I'm pretty close to winning, right? |
Beat Writer Posts: 140 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 |
1st place at the moment. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2692 Joined: 3 Mar 2008 |
Not if Cheeze_Pavillion posts, you're not. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2113 Joined: 14 Sep 2007 |
What's this tingling feeling? Is this the sensation known as 'winning'? It burnsss ussssss... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 853 Joined: 2 Jul 2008   | Wait, what year is it? I'm sure the staff could tell you the oldest registered member who is still active. But they won't, because they have lives. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 381 Joined: 8 Nov 2007   | Awwwww and I thought I had a shot. Congrats Copter you've won yourself a thread. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1367 Joined: 12 Sep 2007  | I've got Copter edged out by two days! There was a vibrant community here when I joined, though, which is why I stopped lurking. In particular, Cheeze_Pavilion sticks out in my mind. Geoffrey42 is the oldest member I can recall who hasn't gone staff - he's been here more than two years! |
Paperboy  Posts: 17 Joined: 16 Jul 2006   | I'm an old one, but I don't remember the date. Just posting to find out. EDIT: Seems I'm beating Copter by over a year. But I'm still not the oldest one I'm sure. |

Damit. Wait a moment! WanderingTaoist how are you that old with 16 posts? h4x0r!!!11! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4486 Joined: 23 Dec 2007 | Isn't it J-E-F-F-E-R-S? Isn't he like 50? |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1864 Joined: 13 Dec 2007 | WanderingTaoist just blew my mind. Do you only rarely drop by, or do you lurk? |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 854 Joined: 22 Aug 2006 | I present to you: Bongo Bill. Keep in mind, folks, The Escapist had a posting/thread mechanism pre-July 2006, but that it transferred into something closer to its current format in July 2006, circa Issue ?53?. This was in the days of the PDFs... oh, the glory... |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2668 Joined: 10 Apr 2007 |
For some reason, post counts seemed to skyrocket for people who joined/stayed active after the redesign from PDF to news portal page/the E3 _Fallout 3_ debacle. It also seems like the words-per-post dropped, while the posts-per-thread jumped for each user. Seriously, like Geoffrey42 mentioned, the PDFs were *incredible*. I have no idea how they churned them out on a weekly basis. Probably why they stopped making them--too much of a grind to produce every week. Check them out if you've never seen them. |

That is an awesome avatar. Somewhat troubling, but awesome. As to the threads question, I have no idea, but it's definitely not me. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 914 Joined: 16 Aug 2008 | I am around....999999999999999999 years old. I have been killing babies since the dawn of time.. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3903 Joined: 26 Feb 2008 | Not I, but I am nearly as well renowned as Purplerain and Fire Daemon. |
Beat Writer Posts: 140 Joined: 14 Nov 2007 | Looks like WanderingTaoist takes 1st place at the moment *note* this little contest finishes on the 5th of October so post if you think your the oldest. |
News Room Contributor  Posts: 4840 Joined: 13 Feb 2008  | I think me and Msch share the eldest, but I know we're not the oldest. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 2717 Joined: 18 Dec 2007 |
I'm renowned? Well I had no idea. I think Echolocating is one of the older members. He's been here since 2006, pretty long time to keep on coming back to a website if you ask me. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1728 Joined: 13 Sep 2007 | This badge is my only refuge from the horde of newfags trying to choke my fame... Oh, how I loved being a slightly-bigger-than-average fish in a average pond... Note: I don't really care that much, I just like playing the crotchety old man constantly complaining about those youngins trampling the lawn. |
Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 854 Joined: 22 Aug 2006 |
I think it unfair to disqualify Bongo Bill and Echolocating (who are tied) simply because they haven't hit this thread. Does one really have to nominate oneself for an honor to be awarded it? Silliness. Yes, WanderingTaoist may be king inside this nutshell, but who cares (no offense to you, WanderingTaoist)? |

Not by age but by the date you joined the Escapist.
So who has been a member of the Escapists for the longest time?
- No Banned Profiles
- Yes there is a First, Second and Third place (No prizes Ha)
Edit - Non Staff then I guess
(Don't worry Joe your already a winner to me.)
