Banadu?

Because I remember... What about you? And, does it still exist?
(Banadu is part of bungie.net, during the Halo 3 era days)

Edited- If you don't know what this is, I'm too old for you.

It's more like a magical kingdom in the sky, only that you can't escape if you get the ticket...

Glad someone remembers :D

I remember the name, but beyond [something to do with being banned from Halo] I don't remember much about it.

I do remember it was pretty unfunny, though.

:D Those were the good old days, right SonicJohn? I thought it was relate to Halo 3 since Lukems said something about a ban that involves both internet and gaming. I could be wrong since recalling something that old sure is hard to remember.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Yeah, people got sent to Banadu when they had been naughty.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I joined up around that time, but I can't remember something called Banaku...

Found the first mention of it in the news here: http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid= 14920
Its Banadu.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Bye.

I was really rattling my brain trying to think what "Banaku" was. Then I realised it was a typo. Wasn't it part of a community competition-esque search for what being banned was called?

It was taken from "Xanadu" if I remember correctly.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Just to add to this, I did a search of the forums using B.net's search tool:

Returned 4 results for ""banaku"" in 0 seconds.
Which as you might guess doesn't include this thread, I guess it's too new.

Compare to:
Returned 300 results for ""banadu"" in 0.0624004 seconds.

Yep, Banadu.

I remember banadu and I'm not even that old.

  • 02.15.2012 12:06 PM PDT

Haha yep I remember Banadu. I wonder if it is still around as well.

Banaku?
I was highly entrenched in the Halo 3 Community and I do believe you mean "Banadu" which was coined by lukems.

Edit: Ninja'd by like 123,456,789 people. Should've read the replies instead of pretending like I knew more than you thought I knew. Either way, t'was a good time back in the day, but I am glad it is over :)

Like I said before, it's hard for me to recall something like that exactly a long time ago. At least you know what I was talking about :P

(P.s. I'm sure Banadu still exist, somewhere in Halo 3 and Halo Reach era)

  • 02.15.2012 2:02 PM PDT

GGGGGGggggggggggggGGGG

It seems it was before my time on this site. Oh well.
