You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Well somebody is in the denial stage.

As for me I just love the people. Even the ones that send me hate mail. I just can't get enough of this place. I have made a ton of friends from all over the world. So naturally this place will be in my life until Achronos decides to turn it all off.

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

I come here to get some laughs and have some fun. I am on the computer doing work a lot so it is natural to have somewhere to divert attention.

I used to randomly click through the chapter directory database on the old site for hours. Didn't really read or contribute anything. I was like some sort of bungie.net zombie...existing only to increase page view counts.

I've always been wondered at how the Flood was able to answer any possible question that you had with a link to something stupid, followed by a link to wikipedia to something stupid, followed by a relevant link to wikipedia, and then followed by there own personal explanation.

Or there's always the nice quote to sum that up.

You should visit the Weekly BA (Bungie's anonymous) meetings. They are very helpful. In the beginning there was a very low amount of people before they hired Frankie's mom to host it. Now it's filled almost every week. Sign up now or you won't get a spot, or a sammich.

Other than that, I love Halo.

Well, it's you guys that keep me coming here.

The different personalities, the relaxed layout. Sure, at the end of the day we're all killing time, but along the way we're learning things little by little (about Bungie and sometimes maybe life lessons too.)

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I was dying to contribute wholefully for a long time. It never really happened until I created the Beta Guide. Once that was stickied, I received at least 5 PM's a day about questions.

It's not annoying by any means. Though it's surprising how many people skip the post and message me questions that are answered within the thread.

I need another sticky, though. I'm contributing far too little!

The overwhelming feeling that, whatever I'm doing right now, something historically important is happening on the Bungie forums and I'm going to miss it.

Said historical happenings have yet to reveal themselves, but they're on the verge and I can feel it.

I'd hate to leave. I've contributed far too much time in the last few months to give it all up.

I want to be here when tomorrow comes, when the Beta goes live, when Halo 3 is released, and for many years after...

I guess I'm just here because: (yeah, time for a list)
* I enjoy the Halo series
* I enjoy this community and the members thereof
* I enjoy the moderating team here..
* I suppose if I didn't come here every day I wouldn't be the typist I am now.
* I'm getting into game development, and this is about as close to talking to real game developers as I can get at the moment.
* Ninjas
* And uh, since Iceman Assassin so graciously told us he's here because of us, I suppose I'm only here because of him. ;)
* That last bullet was a lie. I hate Iceman. :D
* And this is another bullet to make me feel like I have more reasons to be here instead of doing that work I'm supposed to be doing right now.. >_>

Well I came here to see what kind of crap do the other halo fans talk about,made friends and stayed. Now I got some friends and mostly come here to chat with them.
Oh and see anything odd or funny in the Flood forum.

Wow, no offence guys, but some of yous are losers.


Posted by: No one in particular.
l love Bungie, l'm hear eight hours a day!


Please, get a life; go exercise, get some sunlight, read a book. How do you even PLAY Halo 2, when spending all day on the forums anyway?

All my friends are here! No, they're not. You don't have "friends" on the Bungie forums. All you are is another guy with a username containing letters and number. Go get some friends in the real world.

lt's fun to chill here. Sure it's fun to chill here! Very exciting talking to people you don't know, clicking the refresh page a thousand time to see if your "friend" said anything in your thread. Want to know a fun place to chill? A club. A dance. A park, even.

Here's why l come here, the reason that's perhaps normal, to say the least. l come to talk about the Halo games. l hang out, stay active, and spend maybe an hour - two hours here TOPS. l used to spend slightly more time here, but then l realized what a waste of time it was. Now l KNOW l'm going to be flammed by a bunch of people l offended. l'll be called names, and stuff but that's cool. You're entitled to your opinion to me right? You can think of me however you want, especially if i think of you as a loser with no life.

When the hole community knows your user name, and can tell who's posted by looking at their avatar because they've actually memorized them, it's a BIT sad. And parents wonder why kids fail out of school. They can remember so and so's avatar, or when, where, and how to play Halo 2 to get into a beta, but can't do school work. Well, no wonder. They're here all day. And adults who spend more then four hours here - you need to do something with yourselves. As an adult, l know you HAVE to have something better to do. Work, file papers, write bills, ect. And if you do have the time to spend four hours here, then God bless you. But can't you use it a little more constructively? That's all l'm saying. l don't mean you're a loser, l may have been harsh. But learn to prioritize. lt makes me sad when people think they have friends online. You don't. You've never even met them, and half the "friends" people make online are 60 year old men who will most likely -blam!- you, were you ever to meet them.

Now l'm also prepared to hear, "Well you should just get off the forums all togther then, hypocrite!" But l don't want to. l come here, poke around and see what's up, maybe post a little, then leave. lt's not like l'm here 24/7. This place is great, and sure the people are funny, but some of you make it sound like you'd be lost in life without the Bungie forums.

Flame away!

Oh and by the way, l agree with this guy. Only l wouldn't have been so blunt.Posted by: DarkSpartan2006
