A little bit of sausage, a little bit of hot sauce, a whole lot of awesome. Have a question? Ask me!

So I've only become more active in the past few months and I've come to know a lot of people here and all the stories about funny stuff happening a couple years ago and how excited everyone was when the new hawtness came out, hearing about this made me really sad because I wish I could habe joined sooner...but enough blogging. For the more senior members, employees, and ninjas, can you tell me how B.net was prior to the new hawtness and the funny or interesting things that were happening? I want to learn more about B.net's history.

Fun fact: Duardo was still a member when he posted the FAQ on Bungie.net Member Titles / Prefixes / Bar Colors. And a member even went as far as saying "All I see right now is a sad attempt at having their thread stickied on the forums. This list isn't useful nor is it necessary".

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I wasn't around in the PERL days. I came here a few times during the Old Sweetness, but never made an account or really interacted with anything. The New Hawtness was pretty cool though. I actually like it a little more than the current layout. The colors man. The colors.

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

Really the only worthwhile things that have happened during the past decade are the Bungie Group Wars, the H3:ODST ARG, the Halo 2 ARG, PAX '08 (if you were there) and Porch Day (arguably) and probably some other crap that I don't remember. I guess the April Fools HFCS thing was ok too.

But honestly? Most old members who drawl on about the 'cool days' will likely start dragging up all these old names and all of these old places that don't really have much meaning unless you were actually there or unless you actually talked to these people.

$0.02 (Look forward, not back)

This entire post is kind of contradicting itself and I don't feel like fixing it. I'm going to sleep now

I love this layout. I've seen a few other company's forums and this one is by far the best.

I'd like to think that he was a hater then, and that he has changed now... but you never know. Which is why I didn't say "Point! Point and laugh at him!" at the end of my post.

Not to mention he wasn't a fortune teller, just an extremely negative person. :D

I remember the ARG with the SI and how everybody actually worked together to try and solve the riddles and see where things would progress next.

Haha, Kitchen 8 was pretty funny too.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

I was here when Navbar.

Never again.
