I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Alright, now every member in the community has great potential to be helpful and intelligent. Of course, potential and reality are two very different things. Many times new members, and even old ones, tend to do things which definetly don't help Bungie.net. "But Darkness nobody ever told me what to do!". Well, now you can't say that! I have a few cartoons here which I created using Pivot that illustrate a common problem some users have with Bungie...feel free to watch for entertaiment or for educational purposes. I think they're pretty damn good either way, but that's coming from the guy who spent hours of his time making them...so tell me what you think! I'll try and make more of them in the future!

NOTE-The "URL=?" and "Burnt!" may seem to contradicte each other. Let me explain. The text markups tags is right there for you to view anytime, anywhere, and there is no need to ask about it. But if someone asks a question about where they can find a thread for Halo 1 easter eggs or something, don't just flame them. Be helpful and answer the question. Get it? OK good.

Interesting, interesting. Just, interesting. Never seen it done before, so it's interesting. Good, in my book.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Very well done. I like this a lot. Can I have one of those delicious kittens you have lieing around?

Maybe something grammar wise? To get people spelling correctly. (Even though I can barely spell correctly myself.)

This should be a sticky! With stick figures! Sticky with stick figures....lol. stick with sticky figures....hehe....

Ahem. Sorry. Lost my mind for a moment there. I found it in me left shoe(that's what gave me the blister!)

But seriously. That's way cool dude. Reminds me of my recent rant, but with stick figures. Everything is better with stick figures.

Thanks for the support guys! The "I'm a GIRL!" animation should be up and running momentarily! :D

And so is the "Bumping!". I was going to post again to announce it, but I realized that would be obscenly hypocritical, so I'll just use this post instead :D...not that anyone is paying attention... -_-

Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
sir_brilliant: To extend out reach to the stars above!
SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

darn you, you took my idea and made it better.

If someone can't be bothered looking a few inches to the right of the text box to see the markup tags, they sure as hell won't be bothered searching out a stick figure cartoon to explain it to them.

Yes, that is probably true, but if they happen to come to the Septagon to ask about it, at least it is there already answered...and to make it better, with stick figures! :-D

Good effort Darkness. I doubt it will make much of a diffrence but if just one new member reads it and stops himself from posting one of those questions, it was totally worth it.

It may not transform the entire forums, but I'm hoping that by presenting basic forum rules and guidelines in this format that the newer members may actually pay attention instead of breezing by...so yeah, if this keeps one member from asking a stupid question, it is worth it...oh yeah, and the "SPAM Snake!!11!" should be up in a few minutes. :D

Great job, Darkness Howls! I bookmarked all of these, so I can use 'em when someone does something that the cartoons pertain to.

I think a good one to do would be about Group Request PM spam.

Great job, keep it up!

I was actually working on a PM system one before you said that, but OK! Thanks for the comments, the next one should be up and running momentarily.
