You've got a typo in the Forums >> user groups thingy, Teach team should be Tech team. Besides that: Great job, off course :) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2263 Joined: 10 Mar 2009     | Nicely done and well written. |

Argh, good catch! Thanks! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4765 Joined: 20 Mar 2009    | Congrats on getting this stickied! I'll start working on the forum thing you asked me to do as soon as possible, just I've gotten a lot of stuff to do tonight, but I'll see if I can get started later on. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 122 Joined: 2 Oct 2009    | As a former lurker myself, I commend you for emerging from the shadows and posting this. Quite impressive. |

Congratulations on the sticky, man. |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire  Posts: 12304 Joined: 16 Jan 2009   | And so another great thread has earned the right to be stickied. I feel young on here again. But I do feel as if this thread is equally as worth as 'The Banhammer and You' thread, as this will explain everything to the newbies. I suggest you work in a different column for the user groups, since they don't get enough publicity and need something BIG to show them off.
On a COMPLETELY off-topic comment, I'm PRETTY sure I beat you in the race to 10k. |

Until I ascend into my true form and get the mods to ban your sorry self. |
Wordsmith Extraordinaire Posts: 12304 Joined: 16 Jan 2009 |
But then I'll set out to Banhammer you. |

You're a celebrity now? |

Well, considering I got half as many votes as Neon in that 'Who's the Best Escapist' thread yesterday, I think it's safe to say I AM. (And NO, I didn't make the thread. The OP put me in it.) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2393 Joined: 23 Jul 2009     | Well I'll be, this is one fancy map-thread thingy you got goin on 'ere, you must be mighty proud o' yerself. Enough with the idiot talk: You did this quite well, even getting one of the video guys to compliment you. As others have said, this should become a sticky, and you should be rewarded a badge of thanks, as well as the ones who assisted you. Good job and I hope to see more greatness from you in the future. |

I feel hurt now that I wasn't on that list, and neither were fourt of my five favorite Escapists. |
Muckraker  Posts: 300 Joined: 7 Jun 2009   | anyways i think most people go through this phase i too would lurk around until one day a music thread demanded that i post in it so yeah. i post fairly regulary. |

D'aww..... cheer up buddy! And I think it's enough of the thread derailment now. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 600 Joined: 25 Apr 2009   | wow amazing guide you did there this should be read by any new people |
Games Editor  Posts: 4260 Joined: 20 Dec 2005     | Watch the thread derailment, folks. Great little thread. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 223 Joined: 8 Jun 2009  | That is undoubtably the most massive post I've seen. O.o And one of the more useful ones, too. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3580 Joined: 8 Feb 2009    | Nomad, you sir, are a winner. Congrates on the sticky. |
Beat Writer Posts: 154 Joined: 17 Aug 2009   | This forum is probably one of the nicest I've ever been on. Looking back on my previous forums I can't really say my time as a forumite has been a good one. Left4Dead411 had a habit on lynching people for saying "I think Left4Dead needed some improvements". Don't even get me started on the something awful forums and 4chan still gives me nightmares. But the escapist is one of the funniest, wittiest and interesting forum I've had the pleasure to be part of. I am looking forward to the rest of my stay. Can I have a badge now? :D I can see how this guide will help lurkers to sign up and post away, good job! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 145 Joined: 20 Mar 2009   | Hitchhiker's Guide To The Escapist? I see wut you did thar! Very useful guide though. I found the picture under user groups quite humorous. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 60 Joined: 12 Oct 2009  | HOLY SHI-FECAL MATTER BATMAN! i AM one of those lurkers!! i read this forum and i just.. just was sucked in! you have me props! good show, good show! eh wot! |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 586 Joined: 24 Jul 2009 | I'm glad to see it's been put at the top there. Congratulations Nomad. |

I've never heard of either of you and I've been here longer than you both. On topic: This is a great little thread and I've actually shown it to a mod friend of mine on another site and he's thinking about making one the same. Good idea! |
Beat Writer  Posts: 152 Joined: 11 Oct 2009   |
Really REALLY couldn't agree more with that, I'm new here as you can tell, I've been visiting for a damn long time but I'm always finding new stuff and it consumes quite a bit of my internet time. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 126 Joined: 21 Mar 2009 | Very well done good sir, now, back to lurking |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1015 Joined: 11 Jan 2009    | That is a great read...And I applaud you for making it. Now back to being...a regular poster...unlike these lurkers. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3200 Joined: 8 Jun 2009    | It wold be cool if you had something on the badges, involving the thread and the User Group. |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 536 Joined: 21 Jun 2009   | Don't forget to warn the newbies about Max, that should be one of the first things that they are told about, actuallly, tell them to avoid off-topic until they feel that they can handle it. Also I have towel and will travel. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 70 Joined: 14 Oct 2009   | You hit a nerve with many people includeing me good job...wish I had read it when I was still lurking |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 432 Joined: 24 Jun 2009  | I had like the sixteen degrees of lurker down. I saw all of the unforgotten realms before I had an account, just of laziness. |

Uhhhh.... why? He's just a slightly angry angsty teenager. What's to fear? |

Phew, there we go. Made a bunch of updates. I fleshed out the video descriptions using the information given by Randommaster. I also added a reviews section and a subsection for user groups.
And finally I put up a to-do-list, partly for me so I know what I need to do, and partly for the rest of you so you know what hasn't been mentioned yet, in case you think of something I should add.Edit: Actually I'm removing that last part again, because it seems I've hit some sort of a complexity-limit for posts that screws up the interface. So I'm removing the to-do-list in hopes that it'll make room for some minor additions.
I guess that could be a good addition, but then it would sort of overlap with "The banhammer and you", which I linked to in the forums section of the post.
