* Posting "The Skulls Have Got To Be Cracked - And Soon" in the Halo 2 forum which later became "TSHGTBC-AS - The Search for TUE" ("TUE" being "The Ultimate Egg". Watching and participating as the thread rose to 550+ pages, then awaking one early July morning to find it having been deleted by Pezza's hacked account. I made a lot of good friends and memories from that whole experience.
NOSTALGIA FACTORY ACTIVATED.
Man, I had long since forgotten about that thread.
Me, I've only recently passed a mere five year anniversary here. But, I have a feeling I'm going to grab that brass ring here in, oh... two years? A year and ten months? Just an estimate.
I've been largely absentee over the past couple of years or so, lurking offline mostly and only rearing my ugly head about once every three or four months for a few weeks at a time. That busy junior year of high school, a more busy than I anticipated senior year, a job, and now college-- y'know, life? All that good stuff sort of precluded me from coming around here more often. It's a little poignant, feeling like I've missed out on so much since 2008. But at the same time, it was really a necessity for me. Starting in 2008, I had so much on my plate that I couldn't busy myself too terribly much here. And for an added benefit, all of the stuff I had to deal with in my school and personal life really helped me to strengthen and mature myself.
To put it simply, I came here in 2006 for Halo. I'm here in 2011 for the community. There are a lot of times these days when I feel like a lot of the sense of community here that I felt and experienced "way back when" has been lost. Maybe it has, maybe it hasn't. But regardless, threads like this prove that it's still around in some form or another.
And that's cool.
All the best.
