Something smells fishy...

You simply didn't purchase and play Halo: Combat Evolved PC before the cut off date. You considered purchasing it but in the end you did not. Therefore you should not be allowed to obtain the Flair associated with Halo CE PC.
The Visual Flair was initially designed exclusively for PC players because Bungie did not have the ability to collect the information necessary for Halo CE XBOX users to be allowed to have the Flair. I'm sure if Bungie had a way of knowing the amount of time owned and the amount of time played for each Halo CE XBOX owner then Bungie would've allowed them to have the Visual Flair.
No, I'm sorry but you're wrong. The visual flair was designed for players of Halo: Combat Evolved. The reason why it was available only to the players of Halo PC was because it had an effective method of proving that one had indeed played Halo: CE, while the Xbox version did not.

Wait. If you played Halo Reach 24/7 then how could you find time to play Halo CE? Lol. Just pointing that out.
If you had taken the time to read my closing remarks more carefully, you would have noticed that the negation I presented with the word "wouldn't" applied to all of the remaining statement. Thus what I was saying is that I wouldn't play Reach 24/7, and that I wouldn't let my copy of Halo PC gather dust. This was a mistake on my part and I should have been more clear. However, based on the points I presented in the preceding body, it should have been quite clear what I meant.
Now, I'm dissapointed with your hostility towards me joining the Halo PC community. I was hoping that a veteran Halo player like myself would be welcomed. But frankly, my Halo tenure shouldn't have anything to do with that. You should welcome everyone who shows an interest in Halo PC, including those transient players who were initially purchasing it only for the flair. Because, how are these new players going to recognize Halo: CE's merits if they're going to be pushed out by the Halo PC stalwarts, simply because they haven't been playing it as long as you have?
Halo: Combat Evolved is the best video game of our time. Did it ever occur to you, that some of those "transient players" as I keep calling them, would play Halo PC, appreciate it, and become regular Halo PC players?
Of course, I know that the removal of the cutoff date will open Halo PC to "undesirables." The ones who wouldn't give Halo PC a chance, or if they did, would become burdens to the Halo PC multiplayer community. But really, would these people stay playing this "crappy old game with terrible graphics" as they may call it, when they have Call of Duty or Halo: Reach as alternatives? To suggest that they would is ridiculous.
Welcoming new Halo PC players is a "win-win" situation. These new players are turned onto Halo: CE, and the Halo PC community can only benefit from an influx of new players.
Lastly, I would like to inform you that I have indeed purchased Halo PC, and I am in the process of playing through the campaign on legendary. I'm sorry if my reply seemed hostile, but it had to be said. When I'm done, I hope we can meet on much freindlier terms, in which I'll have the opportunity to bash your head in with a flag pole on Blood Gulch :)
First of all I wasn't trying to be hostile towards you in any way. I was just stating my opinion. I'm sorry if you took offense.
I'm not unhappy about an influx in players. In fact I'm very pleased. But I am unhappy that anyone with a legitimate product key will be eligible for the flair. I believe those who've been playing for a long period of time should receive the flair. Just because you do not receive the flair doesn't mean you can't enjoy playing Halo CE PC.
I have no problem with new players what-so-ever.
