I think we all have an idea of what "the Escapist" is, and certain things that we are reminded of when we hear the name. I'm wondering what these special things are for you! Perhaps it's the off-topic sections "flavor of the month", the various media the site offers, or the weird bromance between Tizzy and Daystar?
For me, it's ponychat. The last one and a half year, it has been my main "hang-out" place on the net, and I love it. It has basically become synonymous with the Escapist for me, and is without a question the main reason I have stayed on this site for so long. And in case you're also from that insane little boiling pot of friendship: You're awesome.
