Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

I also forgot to mention Eagle 117's first theory, Chaplain's first theory, Greenchief's comics, and the active and busy Library.

I've followed Bungie.net since the beginning of 2004. I signed up after a while after.

Mithrandir, what a character, I swear that guy is my hero, in case yall dont know he single handly destroyed bungie.net for a day, it was disgustingly awesome. I hear all the new people saying omg davester is the ultimate spammer, or blah blah is the worst spammer in history, but they were not there, for goodness sakes mithradir was a long time member, convinced a group of ps2 fanboys to come to the forum, and literally spammed it so hard that for an ENTIRE DAY nothing was poster, mods stopped blocking, and time stopped. Needless to say it was awesome.

damn, i love smart spammers, but the smartest i ever encountered was mithrandir, and he wasnt that smart he just was really good at hiring people to spam forums and get away with it.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Ah there have been many a good story in the Flood. Like, the very first Laser War(byrum, where'd you go man?). That was a classic. Or the incerdibly popular games, like the Question Game™ by Atsumi, or the Word Association. In their time, the 4000 something posts was considered a LOT. I could go on, but im too lazy to.


I remember you and I used to remind Atsumi of the "c" word just about every day.

I'm just curious what makes people stay here and not post in other forums? (Explain this to a forum hopper like myself) Why so devoted? And why does MakaVeli4Life1 post things like this?
I just don't get it.

Pff

Even I'm a rookie, but when lined up next to yall? Pff

Banshee, Rip, let's go someplace else. Pff, I'm getting annoyed from posting in this thread PFF@!

Third place and you know it. Been here since November 2003. Back in the days of joeybagadonuts and all the other people. This place isn't that old.

It seems that there are a surprising number of people who can remember before the New Hotness.

But who can remember B.net before the old newness; before there were forums? As in, before November 2001?

pwned.

pwned? Quick on the trigger I'd say - Maka

Puh-Leeze! come on people just because people like MC's, gaara and texas ben are posting alot now, hardly means they've been around for any of the good stuff. Anyone that was here BEFORE the flood was even made is a vet. Seriously, we didn't have all these fancy forums before, it was just Underground, Septagon, and like 1 other. Everyone posted in underground for all their halo 2 rumor needs. and that was when people still found new things in halo 1. I'd like to hear exactly when the flood was made, because it's safe to say everyone that joined before that date is a "vet".

And maka, don't give us that sass. Everyone knows it wasn't cool to be a member before 2003. Mainly because there were only about 10,000 members then. it blows my mind to see some of these old fogies that have 2001 next to their name. Ninjas... lonely ninjas...

Well, there are a a lot of old tales. The taming of Neo 117, the Master Xbox rebellion, the troubled times when there were a *&$% load of new members...

The PA debacle, Alta's Update, the first night of ILB, the Aug. 24th craze, the new Bungie store, The New Hotness, etc.

Alta's Update was the best ever. I was on the first page of the original ILB, but gave up when the topic was spammed up the wazoo. I was on the first page of the original Laser Wars too. Now they suck. I wish that whenever I start one like the old ones some other than Pink Menace would join.

I feel bad about Alta's update. I think I was the third poster or something, and everyone around me was saying that it was a bad update... without realising that Alta is a person. I think that was when the forums hit rock bottom.

I've been here for 8 months, but I didn't really start doing anything until about 2 months ago. when I figured everything out, and found the Flood. I just wish I had been here to dig the hole with you guys.

Actually it was about 4 months ago when I started doing stuff. Like posting, and joining groups.
