I didn't really care about my name all that much when I made my first gamertag. I joined bungie.net shortly after I made my gamertag and decided to use the same name on here. Oh well, it's just a name.

(I also don't really know if I count as an older member, is 2008 considered old?)

But Cobra, you're not an older member. You're just old. (getting off your lawn)

I would say I am one of the most successful trolls in Bungie.net history.

I used the use your gamertag option on my first bnet account and then went on deployment overseas. When I got back I had forgotten my password and stuff so I made this account. I added the 420 on the end for obvious reasons, not that I do that stuff now but I sure did when I was younger.

I never did that stuff when I was younger. Considering this account was made a bit ago (and is based off my GT, I'm quite proud.)

Even if I haven't hit the 4-years mark (3 years), I still say a fully original, spaces and all, two words with a meaning name is pretty impressive in these days.

It's a shame it is against the rules to call you out on your rank, seeing as how the level you play at greatly affects the opinions you hold (on gameplay). Generally, if you are bad - Your opinions are wrong, and your argument is invalid.

This was my original gamertag.

My Gamertag had been this since 05, so I just used that when I signed up for the Halo 3 stats/fileshare integration. What's funny is years later I was able to drop the I's on my Gamertag so now it doesn't match anymore. I honestly didn't think I would use the Forums post Halo 3, looks like I was wrong.

I am THUGa, and the last one on Bungie.Net.

Mine is also based off my old Gamertag. stoopidTHUG was already taken, so I added an "a" at the end.

  • 09.17.2012 10:31 AM PDT

Gamertag.
7ruth was taken.
Halo 3 was coming out, so I just went with the AR. Which I hate with a passion.
How young I was.

I wanted to make my gamertag "Halo Warrior" but that was taken so, I went with something somewhat original.

Simply because we weren't older members 4+ years ago. I was either 12 or 13 when I joined, which easily explains what is supposed to be my username.

I tried Bad News. It was taken. But I like good news more now anyways. I also wanted Destiny, but that was taken too.

I settled on this. I like it.

Huh... So you are one of those older members I've been hearing about...


OT: I lack imagination and wanted to play some Halo 3 rather than spend half an hour coming up with an impressive gamertag.

  • 09.17.2012 11:47 AM PDT

My first name was folp9 but it was still original. folp was not taken. It is just... it was a decade ago and I thought numbers were cool. Thank goodness burritosenior came around to save me. Praise him and his glory.

There's no way Nate Hawbaker's favorite hero is Alan Stuart


ALAN IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN!

Because my friend told me this was how it was correctly spelled.

-_- I like it though, it's original.
