Why is this forum so popular?
I've been getting TONNES of replies really fast! I expected it would be a fairly empty forum (OotS is only a comic after all, no matter how awesome). Is it that all the RPG fans set up here? This site OWNS!!!

Re: Why is this forum so popular?
It's the general friendliness and warmth of this forum.
Although, the mind control ray might also make it difficult for us to leave...

Because it is a friendly place with fewer jerks than the other forums, at least the ones I've been on!

Because you can logout any time you like, but you can never leave!

Re: Why is this forum so popular?
It's popular because it's a forum of a popular webcomic.

Re: Why is this forum so popular?
It's a gaming website that's been around for several years - that kind of longevity is rare and leads to an abundance of users - and hosts a very popular webcomic.
And even then, this forum isn't that fast.Last edited by Nerd-o-rama; 2009-11-15 at 12:51 PM.

In a dark desperate internet, cooling winds in the air
Warm smell of memes, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the database, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to read for the night
There he stood in the gateway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"This could be amazing or this could be 4Chan."
Then he drew up a comic and he showed me the way
There were posts down the subforum,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Giant in the Playground
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Playground
Any time of year, you can find it here
His mind is Dungeon-twisted, he got the artist's bends
He got a lot of pretty, pretty plots, that he calls friends
How they appear in the website, sweet digital sweat.
Some come to remember, some come to forget
So I called up the moderator,
"Please bring me my spam"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen ninety-nine."
And still those posts are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to read them say...
Welcome to the Giant in The Playground
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Playground
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Memes on the ceiling,
The pink roleplay on ice
And he said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own mobile device"
And in the Giant's website,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely words,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the escape
I had to find the link back
To the page I was before
"Relax," said the Admin,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can logout any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
*8bit solo!*
I probably could've done a better one... oh well.
It's defenitly the fun people that makes this place great. Not the min-
I'm going to move along now, and stop being concerned.Last edited by EleventhHour; 2009-11-15 at 12:52 PM.

Re: Why is this forum so popular?
There are no other GitP users. Were are in fact a collection of elaborate clockwork simulacra, designed to fool you into believing that there are people who love you and care about what you have to say.
Wait...oops.

Re: Why is this forum so popular?
It's been a bit, GitP. If you're reading this, you're either digging through old stuff, or I've posted for the first time in forever.
If you want to stay in touch, reach out to me on twitter (same username).
The best answer is always to ask your DM.
Unless you're the DM, in which case you should talk to your players.
