I remember when the poeple over at Penny Arcade got angry cause Frankie posted the Weekly Update in their forums.
I also remember when the Weekly Updates were in the form of posts in other forums and here.

Hehe. That was fun. I'd almost forgotten.

I also remember when there was the big best game of all time contest at gamespy and I went over there and tried to cover for Halo. Ultimately it didn't mean anything but I had some fun in the process.

There was the big MASTER XBOX escapade too. Good times.

I also remember when everything was all about Halo and Halo 2 even though I joined 2 days before 11/9. I also remember Jophus1 (Hehehehe his famous quote "I am Dumd"). I even remember those spam attacks also and those "idiots" in the flood who couldn't spell and kept posting crap and -blam!- and -blam!-. Like Barron, Good Times but for me, okay times.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

The meat wars down in the flood.

Ham pwnz.

Also, anyone remember the first Laser Wars? Started by Excommunicado. The first post was like "I peek around the side of a trash can and fire." Ahh. The good 'ol days.

When groups were called chapters...

Yeah!

When there was a tonne of polls, all pitting differant foods versus each other?
Haha! I thought I was the only person who remembers that!

Remember when the Septagon was in Chapter Founders?

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

I never was all that active on Bungie.net till halo 2 stat check.....(but I've always had a love of Bungie games!).

Looking back on how this place used to be such a tight nit community, it really makes me wonder how this could all change.........Now the only safe places on this forum are here in the septagon and the underground.......

Half of the new users don't even visit the spetagon or underground.....it makes me sad......

The Underground isn't too "safe" either, anymore.

I seem to have a recollection of something called the Chapter Spotlight. It was funny seeing one chapter stuck there for three months when they stopped allowing chapters to be created.

I remember The Cortana Letters. I didn't join 'til much later, but I surely remember the chaos surrounded them.

- Remember when you'd find out a b.net friend of yours had been modded and you'd immediately think "Great! The one time I'm not active Bungie starts picking new mods..."

- Remember when you could make a rainbow of colorful words in your post?

- Remember when Sketch answered your PMs... wait, that's never happened???

- Remember when every other post had the title “Humans = Forerunners!!!!!!!!”?

- Remember when Bungie would hold a contest and not send the winners their prizes until 6 months later;-)

- Remember when you decided that you couldn’t deal with New Mombasa any longer:-(

- Most of all, remember when each of the Halo novels came out and we'd all have something new to discuss for months on in:-P

i remember anton p nym's enkidu terminals. in fact, i still have them bookmarked. the endless debate as each one came out had people scraping every little detail and mulling over all nuances while speculaing whether it was legit or not. it was the cortana letters of the halo 2 era.

it may have just been fan fiction, but it was definately the most elaborate and inventive fan fiction ive ever seen. hats off to you, steve.

I can remember some of these from before I had an account. I used to read them, then I somehow figured out how to make a .net Passport.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I remember a time before Frankie and Sketch.

I also remember the week in review when people would send in an email about something their chapter was doing and it'd be posted in the news.

I also remember a time when I could have sworn I was the youngest member on Bungie.net

I remember all of the old themes (<3 the Hunter theme)

I remember a time before MSXL

I also remember JasonH and his banning.

Oh yea! I remember that too.
That was great when halo won over half life (although I think HL is better) but then gamespy got all sour and redid the contest, but you could only vote through member login.
