Suffice to say that sometime, a moderator is going to end this account permenantly.

Ah, how I do love the Flood. A true community. You have those seasoned veterans who all know one another as if they all grew up in the same orphanage. Some of whom accept new-comers and educate them in the proper ways of respect towards others, and those who naturally shun said new-comers away. Like every village, it has its idiots, but it also has its great heroes.
I remember Zanzibar quite well. The flaming and name-calling. The trolling. The glitch discussions. The confusion between New Mombasa, Zanzibar, and Optimatch. The trolls. The Trolls. The good times. The bad times. The call to arms in the Septagon about how it must be improved (which, ironically enough, always led to a lot of people agreeing that there was a problem and about three of four people actually doing something about it).
In all of my time here, I haven't in the slightest lost the feeling of community. I know those I love and those I hate. I regularly converse with those I love (and a few that I'm still trying to formulate a concrete opinion about), and try to get along with those I hate as best I can, since I must try to work with them. I've made friends and enemies, and have seen battle. I've seen memes come and go like trains to our station. I've seen fools banned and good men praised. I've taught and learned. I've felt that I was part of a community the whole time, and I am not worried about losing that feeling until I myself leave.
I enjoy it here. If I could, I'd live in the Bungie.net community.
If only there was a Post of The Year Award....Heh.
