The thing I love about this site is the amount of intelligence it pervades. It's difficult to find a gaming website that's chalk full of intelligent people with interesting opinions.

So I look into the wikipedia article and there's only 3 FUCKING PARAGRAPHS!
Here we are with the best gaming magazine around and bloody wikipedia only has 3 paragraphs?

This is a calling to everyone who loves this site more then their mums. We need to expand that article to the point of explosion. Who wants to help?

lol, even Yahtzee has a bigger article than us. I guess it's more about who created this place, not so much as what's it it.

Lol is not a legit way to begin a sentence-damnit!

Anyways, what else could we add? A list of contributors? The forum posting ranks?

If quantity is your measure of quality, why not copy some random text and paste it over and over?

Yes it was. It was a reminder as to how many paragraphs there are in the Wikipedia article. See what he did there?

Anyways, why does it matter so much how long the Escapist's Wikipedia article is, so long as it has links to the many interesting and nice people that contribute in significant ways? If it links to even some of the major contributors, people should be able to realize it's a good place/thing; and if they can't then do we really want them here?

Well seeing as how this is the Escapist I don't think we should care too much about the Scapist.

Don't worry, who cares about Wikipedia anyway.

Ye3s! Always!

To be honest what is there to say that can't be said in a sentence?

If we make the article bigger, it'll get more attention. More attention means more trolls will come stomping around these parts. 'Tis fine the way it is.

The 3 was an accident.. but I guess amazing things just happen with me. Like how I misspelled Escapist in the subject.

Maybe detailed sub-sections about all of the Escapists reggular contributers? Like Yahtzee or those De-Rez guys Maybe even the up and coming Unforgotten Realms shorts.

Oh ye3ah double posts are for cool kids.
