When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

The promise of intriguing discussion and debate. Though, there isn't nearly as much to talk about as when I first joined. I really think '07 was the tail-end of something much greater that I simply missed out on.
I don't know. Think with the amount of time we invest whether lurking or contributing, this place just becomes very familiar. I went through a couple of different stages burning out on the experience after each one. As Mouse put it I was a "try hard" to begin with, feeling like I needed to play catch up, because Halo is something that I've had for much longer predating my activity here. I did what kids in high school do, try to find a place to fit in, and failing what I considered a sense of belonging or seniority in the eyes of others I had to reexamine my motivations for contributing. It hasn't been the case that I've had to find reasons to keep coming back that the OP is getting at, I think I've just grown up and matured quite a bit since I started. I think now, I just love Bungie. I love what this community can be, and I love discussing/arguing over things I'm passionate about.
