You. I don't know you, Josher. You don't post often, and you can hardly call yourself a community member anymore. The only reason I'm familiar with your name is because I've been in the Jumpers on and off. Just because you sit in the Bungie Jumpers all day doesn't mean you're actually a helpful member, and I think a lot of the others just like you can stop coming in and talking about how the community sucks, when you do nothing to improve it.
Just think about it. Calling yourself part of the community really should require you being a part of the community. Helping out and contributing some. If you call yourself a veteran, but haven't done anything with your many years here besides be a good member, you shouldn't be holding that over people like some golden goblet.
So The Bungie Jumpers aren't a part of the community anymore is that it eh? Sad sad day it is GJJ, all that effort we put into the community for nothing, what a shame it is. Listen Zag, I know you think you're old and you put a lot into this community, but I don't think you know what I've done on this web site. I've done a lot for this community and since I supposedly "left" I'm no longer a part of it. I remember even seeing your name a while back, and how you were active, then you "left", and now you're back and "active" again. So are you telling me that time you were gone, you weren't a part of this community? In all honestly, if I have to be "active" on the public forums to be a "community member" than that sucks.
The truth is Zag, I've been a part of this community since 2003, where I met people that liked to talk about Halo and other Bungie games. I met people like Banshee Barron, Sinister Pig, Reiginko, ShatterStar, Jeff McRae, Nedus, Wra7hofAchilles, Maraxus, Absolutmind (a.k.a. Loki), JoeybagaDonuts, Rip Saw, Sledgefare, Makaveli4life, stosh, Rewin, Snowman, Coke, SHARPE, LizardMonkey, and Obbi. Can you name names like that from your "2004" join date? Most of those people, I took it past this web site and got to know them better outside of this community.
The community extends far beyond these public forums. If you can't see that then you don't know what community is. The Jumpers is a community, and that community is a part of bnet, whether you think so or not. I don't care what else you have to say about me, Shai, or any of the other Jumpers being part of the community unless this post has knocked some sense in your head. It seems to me that you and elmicker would make a cute couple in your competition with each other for all the kiddies and trying to become mods.

hahah, what the -blam!- is this? Jumpers Public Reunion 2007?
What do you think gives you the ability to comment on the state of the community when you've not posted here for literally years?
Yes, actually our buddy Shai asked us to look at a thread worth viewing in our "community" called the Jumpers. Gives us the ability? Well we can read, write, make intelligent posts, did I forget to say that we're quite good at rebuttals? The fact is elll mick-blam!- errrrr, we are in fact a part of this community. *Read the section above (if you can read this)*
Have fun trying to win the mod award, don't worry about lilttle ol me, I'll just scamper off to the Jumpers forum where life is good and the community is great.
