I only left for like four months.

Since when are there only like 10 people here.

Yeah I'll vouch for habit.

I don't think I've actually contributed anything for like, 2 years. Well, maybe ever. But... you know.

Well, EC has been dying since, you know, it's basically just a messageboard and there's nothing here beyond each other. Add to that the typical annual body count and we've got a recipe for doom.

Still, it's nice to have people who give reviews, information and discussion with little prodding.

I think Drysart made Parce the admin specifically so the boards would be destroyed.

Then we'll be stuck with the big communist circle jerk that is SA, I'll be stuck with a bunch of religious zealot late-middle-age parents, or god forbid, penny-arcade

I'm definitely here out of habit and the sick pleasure I get for posting content that I find mildly funny knowing full well that there will be one or two posts that say "Dude this is stupid you're stupid." and then one that says "no its funny sorta".

I haven't quite traversed the PA forum but once or twice, anything inparticular that is particularly forbidding? More important, can I use inparticular and particular in the same sentence properly as I just did? Hmm wait, inparticular is actually two words, therefore I suppose the point is moot, except I've learned a valued lesson in splitting my words appropriately. Hmm, oh well.

I'd say a lot of "former" ECers are actually still around, they just aren't posting. Like Bummey.

Apparently, if anyone remembers the guy, Espio occasionally lurks here too. Saw him say something in chat in EQ2 on Unrest today. :V

It never really "survived" per say.

People would play the hell out of it the first couple of weeks it came up, then everyone would just stop showing up.

Bajah's still here, but he's got a job and a fiancee, so whut whut.

Leckie's not here but you're only upset because she was European.

Zaza's still producing MMOs you will never hear of. You can ask Jens or Liam about the whut whut.

Mod probably hangs around D&D in SA. There aren't enough people here for him to get his debate on, whut whut.

Gydyon comes around from time to time, but he's raising two little Parcelans, so whut whut.
