No one knows what it stands for. Except maybe the members.

And Achronos. He does know everything after all ...just not all at once.


Honestly, the members of HFCS most likely don't know either. I don't even think Stosh knows. It's probably just four random letters he threw together. >_>

--Tazmaniandude


Stosh knows. I guarantee Achronos knows. I also heard that Shishka and Frankie know. could be wrong though.

Frankie isn't even in the HFCS, he doesn't know anything. And, yeah, we don't know it either.

Did our old message histories get ported over from when the site upgraded to the New Hotness?

You know you're a B.net veteran when...

* You've played every game ever released by Bungie, and on multiple platforms.

* You remember the Old Crapness.

* You wish the Bungie Support Site was still here.

* You have seen the Soul post at least twice.

* You remember when at least half of the current Ninjas were appointed.

* You celebrate the anniversary of Davester88's final destruction.

* You've posted in each forum at least once.

* You've had an argument with Shishka and come out of it without being banned.

* You actually know where "don't be use -blam!-" came from.

* You remember when VII Toast made a post with the same quirky grammar.

* You've had other well-known members describe you as respectable.

All of the above apply to me. How 'bout the rest of you?


Those were the days

whatever happened to the davester ???

Well, you're just a regular, garden-variety ninja. ;)

I wouldn't mind hearing from a master (*cough*stosh*cough*) on this issue. ...While I'm deluding myself, I'd like to win the lottery.

* You have a good idea of who Davester turned into, but he's slightly better behaved now.

* When you remember the Events Calander on the old sites.

* When you can correctly count how many incarnations of the Bungie website existed prier to this one (there were 4, including the old crapness). (I remember the first one, it was the same as most developer websites, a "buy this stuff neah'" and "Look at this stuff neah'" type site, like Bioware's site. :D

* When you remember the great spam attack of 2004, the one that happened that fateful day when absolutely no moderator was on for a period of 2 hours.

* You know how much twitch666 is hated by the master ninjas and all of his pervious incarnations.

Hmmm, I think all the other ones have been said already.

I started coming on here when Halo 1 came out. What was it like before then?

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

What do u consider a vetran?

Many have been here way longer then i have, but I have been here longer then a good number of people that have posted.

I consider myself active enough in both the main forums and groups. I know how the system works, (social system).

Does that make me a vetran or a new guy? Or perhaps some mystical place in between.

Consider that some who have been coming here for ages have needed to make new accounts for whatever reasons. Besides, what someone who has been here since '02 may consider to be 'veteran' material is different than one who joined in '04.

I'd say pre-Halo release...or at very least pre-Halo 2 announcement.

Most certainly not. Many people here joined when they joined. But like I said, these people have a different idea of what veteran means, and that's perfectly fine.

And me, well... some remember me, some don't. If you were here, you were here. ;)

Becoming a Veteran doesn't involve being here for a long time. There are people from 2002 who turned to spam. All you need is intelligence and maturity. If you can master those two elements, you won't even care about being a "vet". You will come to this website for the enjoyable discussion with other "vets".

fair enough.

I will say the fact that i have been here to see a groupp go from 0 members to 1500 members in 7 months, to see a Fan-fic go from unofficial to actully being read by bungie, to seeing a Halo movie myth turn to fact makes me a vetran enough.

Also I have been victemised by the soul. So thats worth 2 points

vet·er·an n. A person who is long experienced or practiced in an activity or capacity

So yes, it does actually refer to people who have been here a long time, or rather, being involved for a long time. There are productive, intelligent vets and those who are simply ticking time-bombs in the same way that there are productive, intelligent newcomers and trolls.

That definition refers to real life. What a veteran is in life, and what a veteran is on a forum is completely different. Someone could spend years on one forum and then move into a new one and be treated as an inferior just because he's new. You can't judge someone by how long they have been here, you can only judge them by the quality of their posts.
