I just saw a green monkey nut shot a small tan lizard(?) in a gunny sack.

Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

Ha.
I'm sorry it feels that way to you. Didn't mean to touch a nerve.

Don't flatter yourself. Your wording makes it obvious that it is a criticism.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I'm a theorist, meaning I like to make speculative threads about Destiny based on what little information we have so far, with not a pinch, but a bucket of imagination to fill in the gaps. I would say this helps the Community because I think it gives people a brief feeling of excitement and allure during these dark times.

I can't really think of anything I've done for the community project-wise, but I try to be a positive member and help new members assimilate (when we actually have new members).

*sniff* You make me so proud.

What have I done for this forum? I try to occasionally spice it up with obscure threads that make little sense but still manage to relate to the Community.

That, and I sometimes try to conjure some laughs.

Ask not what Achronos can do for you...
Well that makes it seem like the community is something more than the people which make it up. Which is offensive and ridiculous.

I never tire of showing posts like these to my mother. Her reactions are always hilarious. They're better on Facebook where she's able to critique people's appearances, though.

Damn, I've been rumbled! Now everyone will know that I secretly hold them all in contempt!

Alternatively, you're reading too far into things.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I spent alot of money for bungie the last several years.

Key



OffT: The Flood has a much bigger problem with overreacting to Employee and Ninja posts. Since Bungie stopped working on the Halo Series and employees started posting more often, we've become pretty desensitized to it all. The Floods the one who still fan-girls over and quote-spans employee posts.

Also, I think it's pretty hilarious how you've made a thread where a significant portion of it is just straight up bad mouthing the Community Forum and then you attempt to channel all the conversation into this idiotic notion that to have some semblance of self-worth within this community, one must've done something for said community. That's like saying that almost every millionaire businessman or -woman is irrelevant because they've done nothing significantly for or to change America as a whole.

TL;DR: The idea for your thread is bad and you should feel bad.

OT: Not a lot other than participating in the voting round of quite a few Mail Sack Challenges.

You know all of that was tongue-in-cheek, right? As in, not meant to be taken as seriously as you clearly take yourself?

What did I do?

Lets see.... Achronos banned a guy who was boosting to Inheritor in one of my threads. That was awesome.

Other then that.... nothing.

"Here, take my handkerchief."
Hoofin' it bare-chested since -blam-

I have been a molecule of silver, doing my small part to reflect the light of Bungie inside the laser chamber of the Community.
I have been a lurker, serving much the same role as dark matter.
I have been an organism, feeding on and being fed on by the ecosystem of the Halo franchise, and occasionally producing new organisms through mimicry (wait, you've never played Halo? What're you doing this weekend?)
I have elicited stress-reducing gutteral expressions via off-color and otherwise bad puns.
I have touched the sap-slime oozing from a giant fern in Rotorua.
But I have not yet been to Bungie Studios.

(Ninjas and employees, this question isn't really about you. :P)

So you love Bungie, right? You love the games, you love the people, you queued up at midnight for your copy of Halo 3 and then wrote several angry threads about Reach when it wasn't exactly the same game with better guns. You've been here for years, squealed like a girl that one time an employee posted in your thread, thought about starting a private group that you thought could be "like the Flood but more chill and relaxed and we can cuss and stuff". You've seen big names come and go, and voted in at least one popularity thread per month, as is mandated under the ToS as a condition of your membership.

But what have you actually done for this community?

The Septagon is a beautiful perfect circle of ass-kissing and repeat threads, and I realise that's why some people love it. People post with authority despite the fact that they don't have any, and people flock to their posts for no reason other than to keep the machine going. But what have any of you actually done? How have you made the community better? How do you think your contributions, either on an individual scale or as part of something bigger, have left their mark on this site, no matter how big or small?

This isn't a criticism, or a demand for credentials. I just want to know how you see yourselves and your place here. I want to know whether or not you think your voice matters, and why. More than anything, I want to get a sense of what you think it takes to make a difference, and how far you'd be willing to go to do it.


I breathe in and out regularly and; I hate, therefore I am.

These are the two greatest gifts I can give to the Community.

Not that it's mattered to you before.

Nah, actually the opposite. I just took what you said at face value.

Contributing is for losers
You obviously practice what you preach. <3

OT: I would participate in this discussion of "I'VE DONE THINGS OP, SO F OFF!" trying to prove to even myself that those words are true but....



I like to be realistic and just note that I've done nothing for this community.
