Subject: How Have you Grown as a Community Member?

Perpetual Ninja in training.

Los Paranoias

Let's see....back in '07, I didn't post all that much, in '08 I posted a little more, in '09 I posted a lot more, in '10, I posted a ton, in '11, I posted way too much, and now I run this joint.


Oh, and I used to make Foman mad because I was always being dumb, but now I'm just stupid, so he doesn't get all that mad, sometimes. I mean, he still bans me, but not as much.

I am a Floodian

I don't know if I grew as a member. I certainly grew up as a Floodian and Bungie.net member, so there's that.

Well, this thread really grew over night. I'm really happy with a lot of the responses I'm seeing.

Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.

“Oh, it’s a little bit of everything, it’s the mountains, it’s the fog, it’s the news at six o’clock, it’s the death of my first dog, it’s the angels up above me, it’s the song that they don’t sing, It’s a little bit of everything.”
- Dawes, A little bit of everything

I have grown here as I have grown in my own life. I joined here in Middle School, and it was a tumultuous time. I started participating in High School, and it was a stressful time. I relaxed a little more in College, and it was a great retreat.

All the world's a stage, and I've just seen the first act and I'm waiting backstage for Act II.

I have grown through a lot of things, but most of all, I have gained perspective. In life, and on these forums, my interaction here has helped me build a better view of the world and other people. We are all connected.

Checking out my profile I see?

I'm pretty sure I became more sarcastic.

Does age breed cynicism and sarcasm, or do we choose?

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

I was 29 when i first signed up to Bungie.net. Other than becoming cynical and jaded about online gaming, i don't think i've changed much.

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


ALAN IS A BEAUTIFUL MAN!


I've seen that we are much more similar than we are different. I've grown up here with you guys, whether you knew it or not, and I hope to continue growing here.

Once I've completed checklist of things to accomplish here on Bnet, I'll be very proud of this site.

I hope my daughter is a better member than i when she gets old enough
Is this really a community you want her to get into?


Take it back, you underbaked sleeper!

The thinking would be correct in thinking it has the possibility to breed both cynicism and sarcasm.

Xbox LIVE gamertag: Dat3lessNutella

To look up my Halo stats...search for the gamertag TopWargamer.
SAVED THREAD PAGES: 283
One does not simply get rid of TopWargamer so easily.
You know this to be true.

As for me, I'm ashamed to say I used to be one of those stereotypical Halo fanboys asking for the haunted helemt (even bargaining with Bungie at one point) only coming here to check my stats, and occasionally coming here to post ridiculous spam threads that had no meaning at all. But then I started posting and making friends here on b.net so everything changed. I even discovered that private groups had their own forums, who knew? Luckily, I'm not that awful member any longer and I intend to find a great way to contribute to our incredible community.

Honestly....this.

It's spot on to what I use to be like on here.

I HATE looking through my older posts....because I sound like such a moron.

Let me answer your question with another question: have you ever seen a sarcastic or cynical five year old?

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

I haven't been here nearly as long as others (not even two years at this point), but I'd like to think that the community (and the Gallery) has inspired me to be more upfront and passionate about what I do, and to keep on trucking when the times get tough.

Oh, and it's given me a horrible sense of humour. How 'bout them puns?

Absolutely, I owe a debt of gratitude to this site in the way it has helped me mature.
