I just wanted to say, thank you Jim. You've been a great friend and lightened up my day with thoughts of the sniper wielding hippo ;)

You're one of the greatest guys i know. Even when times are hard, you still stand by what is right and you still maintain who you are and your everlasting enthusiasm for this community.
Thank you for keeping the rule-breakers at bay, and thank you for being a treasured member here.

Here's to many many more years of Bungie and to many more years of friendship. Look forward to working with you on this Jumpers revival and I’m sure everything will be good in the end.

Never give up hope.

Dang son. Blog it up!
Thanks for the great write up. It's amazing how much of all of our lives connect or relate in some way.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Congratulations Jim. Unfortunately, everybody else has already said everything that I wanted to say; so now I have quite the conudrum: either sit here and look like an idiot by saying nothing, or look like even more of an idiot by repeating what somebody else already said. Thanks a lot guys ;-)

Jim - a heartfelt thanks to all you've done for the community and for me personally. From those days we used to sit back, dream of what might be, play around in the column and on HPC, from those times we spent actually using the Classifieds, up until your recent, and welcome, return. Hell, I felt better after a period of slight depression just talking to you. Your energy, community-mindedness and inspirational social ability combine as one of the greatest credits to Bungie.net.

I'm just upset that you can't spend more time with us all at the moment, but I know every moment you spend logged on won't be wasted, be it keeping the kids under control with your wisdom and maturity, or making fun of my mother, or spewing out wonderfully intricate ideas and plans for the future. Happy 2nd, you're the best. =D

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

Jim, ever since I've joined you've always been the guy to look up to. The guy who you want to be. Dude, you're a great Bungie fan, and you're one of the coolest guys around. Who else has that huge of a video game collection? Not many, that's for sure.

Remember Alta's update? You were the first to defend her update when others over-reacted and bashed it. Your defense of that update snowballed into a huge wave of praise and support for Alta, one which included many members, including myself.

When it was announced that you'd be a Mod, I knew Bungie had made the right choice. Congrats Jim. Now you need to get back on XBL. We can't really have a Jumpers clan without the head jumper, now can we?

Congrats GJ. I dont really know what youv'e done for the forums not being here for awhile but then again your a ninja, and ninjas have to prove themselves to be chosen then do a lot of cleaning up of the forums.

Thanks for giveing us a cleaner forum.

As much as I would love to congratulate you Jim, I think it's enough that I acknowledge your presence. Besides, I don't recall you doing anything for me on my one year B-Day.

Jim – Your work on the East Coast Bungie Fan Fest along with Nosferatu has been truly inspirational. Between the two of you, I’ve never seen more dedication here, and hopefully there will be one eventually.

Your discussions in The Black Chapter show many of your character traits namely responsible, respectful and friendly. That chapter is proof enough that the column is worth our time.

When I get a 360, the first clan that I will consider joining will be the Jumpers (ok, well maybe the Marty Army). I look forward to seeing the group and clan develop.

And lastly, to whoever said “Jeez, go write a book.” - I’d read it.

Happy unofficial anniversary! Along with the rest of the 2 year-ers here (Proudly one of them, not counting my hiatuses) Welcome to the club Jim! Damn, I've seen the place change. I remember when the Introduce Yourself thread in the Septagon was created, old newnab113 made it. Anyone else here remember JAF? Shame. All great people come and go. But thanks Jim. You've stayed for 2 years, lasted the damned mod duties, and still havne't cracked.

Off topic: ZOMGZWTF RIP SAW!!!!!!!!

You've been a damn good member/mod James. I mean Jim James, not Jay James, or any of the other four, who were all good members anyway, I think. Nice write-up, I might go and find the "I love Estey" or whatever it was called. Maybe we'll get another Lobby of Carnage going sometime, the first one was awfully fun. And to conclude my horribly scattered thoughts, I will cite a direct quote from GameJunkieJim himself, or something similar to what he said, "I will not become a mod unless Bungie paid me to do it." Yup, there was a time when he would have turned down Sketch's offer.

Hardcore man. You've definitely made this community a better place for all the fans. Of course you didn't do all of this by yourself, but you did help a ton. I remember when you first became a ninja, people didn't trust you as much. They said things like "omfg, he sucks" or "wtf, he will ruin the forum" and stuff like that. You have definitely proven them wrong. Head strong man, head strong..

Newnab is back, but I haven't seen him post much. Maybe it was temporary? JAF's is here, live and kicking. Usually more active in groups...

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.

It's been an honor [/cheesy one liner]

But seriously, it's been fun. It's been pleasure, to be sure. I just wish the East Coast Fan Fest had worked out. Oh well. Mabye next year... =P

GJJ, you could have written more, lol. No, I really love hearing other's personal stories of b.net. Especially when they are written as long and meaningful as yours. These kind of stories make me want to get as involved as I was when I first joined. I wish I could be as involved, but as of now, it is an imposibility.

Anyways enough about me, James, I want to thank you for being a true friend. I wish you the best of luck in the real world, and don't worry about Flamechu, we (the rest of the community/jumpers) will kick his ass if we ever find him. And if you have to spend less time here to take care of things there, go ahead, our opinions about you won't change.

I really need to stop this artpad addiction, thanks Stosh

I usually lose interest after reading the first paragraph. This time it was different, I actually read all of it without losing interest or focus. Great read so-to-speak.

  • 01.24.2006 5:58 PM PDT

I'm not that active, but never dead.

That was sensational.

Really informative, and brings back the old memories.

Merry Birthday, as you once told me (I'm surprised I remember that).

I remember the first time I saw your true face.

My 2 year is up next month, glad your still here. It was fun playing on live with you when H2 first came out.
