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?
You didn't do a very good job of expressing your views in a satirical, joking manner (as shown by the fact that people, including myself) still think your entire purpose for this thread was that of criticism rather than inquisition).

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

I'm flattered that you apparently take me just as seriously as you take yourself, but there's really no need for that, love. I promise I won't be at all upset if you take the OP in the light-hearted spirit in which it was intended.

You seem to have a low view of the Septagon...

I've made friends, posted and created topics, the usual. I believe that's all a member could be asked for, participation. And about who I am as a community member, I see myself as an average regular-forum-goer, a Community Joe, if you will.

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

I did this in the early days of the ODST forum. It was a substitute for matchmaking, and the thread ended up being a top forum topic.

I would list my achievements, but lets all be honest with ourselves; none of you care and we just want individual recognition. So why can't we just skip the thread and say we are all awesome?

Yeah? Good.

I also try and keep people on here sane with my fail attempts at trolling.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

I am a member that likes to 'try' keep it clean. I report anyone that is doing something that they shouldn't be doing. I am a cop. On the forums. Yeah.

Other than my general contributions to the forums, I made a video showing the community's appreciation for Bungie.

But that is really all I can think of.

Real account.

Join me as we make new friends from different communities!

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

I joined and post.

Break down, every single one of you.

Posted by: jaythenerdkidThe 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. So you're mad that people are popular? Why does it matter if some people get more attention than others? They tend to post more and have a higher quality of post. Good for them.

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.
'Cause that doesn't sound to be made in a joking or sarcastic manner. It sounds like you are trolling. Not the same as tongue-in-cheek.

I've made it bigger and haven't been a jerk (for the most part).

Do I need to do anything else?
