So, I recently stumbled back upon these forums while checking up on some of My Destiny stats. I used to be quite active around here (as a regular in "The Flood"), mostly before the "HashTag" update. Things have really changed around here. I'm starting to wonder how many of you joined within the last year or so because of Destiny. Do we still have a vast amount of the older generation still kicking around here? Personally, I joined 7 years ago on a cold, rainy day in March. Please answer the poll appropriately. (Look up stats from the old website [url=http://halo.bungie.net/]here[/url].)
[b]In order to keep things interesting around here, I pose a few questions:[/b]
[b]1. [/b]When did you join?
[b]2.[/b] Why?
[b]3.[/b] What forum did you mostly post in (If around before the "Hashtag" update)?
[b]4.[/b] What was your title? (Example: Mine was Noble Legendary Member... Lost Mythic right before the change)
[b]5.[/b] Why are you still here?
[b]6.[/b] How many times have you been banned?
[b]7.[/b] What is one of your most memorable moments on this site?
My Answers:
1. March 25, 2008
2. I was promised pie. Actually I decided to make an account seeing I had started to frequent the site more often
3. The Flood
4. Noble Legendary Member
5. The account is still active due to my interest in Destiny, figured I'd start browsing the forums again
6. 2 times if I remember correctly, the first from someone I cannot remember at this time and second from our friend Foman
7. Besides all the lulz, [url=http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=32038038&postRepeater1-p=1]this[/url] was my first "Hot Topic" thread. It was pretty awesome at the time.
P.S. Is a version of Bungie.me out there and working? I couldn't find it and can only assume it no longer exists.

Edited by sonicBOOM5431: 6/30/2015 6:27:07 AMI joined up on Bungie.net for destiny a little over a year ago though I played halo far before that. Yes I was a former desticle who obsessed everything with destiny but now I'm a changed man. I came here to off topic and met the flood a few months ago and haven't gone back to # destiny since. I love it here much more

BEGINNING TRANSMISSION: (Low melodious hum.) Far too long. ENDING TRANSMISSION:

Edited by DiabolicSpartan: 6/30/2015 5:45:20 AMI'm assuming that's what the people who joined for Destiny are called. EDIT: Reply fail

LOOK AT ALL THOSE DESTICALS

This shows why the forums -blam!-ing suck now I can't even look at my saved threads WHY BUNGIE WHY?!?!?!
-
Only been here a few months. I joined up because i'd played Destiny for a couple of days and ran out of "story" missions and came to see if i'd missed anything or if that game really did have the worst story i've ever seen in a video game. Turns out it was the latter. Opened up #Offtopic and #Gaming while I was here, saw they weren't part of any game and just little communities of their own so decided to stick around for the sheer hell of it.

Edited by Auttumnnnn: 6/29/2015 10:38:55 AM[u][b]1.[/b] When did you join?[/u] June 16, 2011. [u][b]2.[/b] Why?[/u] Either to talk about Halo Reach or to get the Eternal Armor Effect (Blue Flames). [u][b]3.[/b] What forum did you mostly post in?[/u] Reach Forums and The Flood. [u][b]4.[/b] What was your title?[/u] "Member". [u][b]5.[/b] Why are you still here?[/u] I like many of the members, and it's a great pastime. [u][b]6.[/b] How many times have you been banned?[/u] If we're excluding that time my account was bugged, no more than five. If we're including it, probably hundreds. [u][b]7.[/b] What is one of your most memorable moments on this site?[/u] On the older forums, there was an Interstellar Conflict roleplay thread that, if I remember correctly, got about 13,000 replies. I specifically recall attacking a cruiser of some kind with a "squadron" of "elite Sangheili pilots", infiltrating the bridge and capturing the captain. However, he was one of those kids who must [i]always[/i] win, and so he apparently had several backup plans regardless of what I did. Luckily, several other members backed me up because the kid was being unfair.

Well, I heard that there was cake. I soon found it to be a lie and have found no way to escape from the evil killer Desticles. They flood the off topic forum with poisoning Destiny ranting. I'm surprised that the Destiny levels in the off topic forum hasn't killed me yet

Joined cause I couldn't stand the bitching in #Destiny. The Chaos soothes me...
-
1. Late 2010 2. Because Halo Reach had a challenge that would give us credits if we signed up. 3. The Flood 4. I never got a title. 5. I've left a few times but something always draws me back. 6. Once. 7. The Elite's porn. Where the two elites were leaving sexual messages to each other.

Edited by Divine Thunder2: 6/27/2015 2:49:04 PMHey Dia, surprised to see you post here again. Btw, it's me, MrSpartan66. 1. I joined late August 2008. 2. I came to b.net for the weekly updates at first when I got Halo 3 and then I made an account. 3. The Flood 4. Intrepid Legendary, but I would have been Mythic if I didn't get banned a few times... 5. I enjoy seeing some old people I know around here. 6. At least 3 on this account, and I know Qbix was responsible for most of them. 7. My paddlin' thread.
-
1. 2009, some point in time. 2. Probably the stats. 3. Flood, obviously. 4. I dunno. 5. Amusement. 6. 6+ 7. I don't remember.
-
1. I joined in '07, been browsing since ~'03-'04. 2. Checking Halo 3 stats. 3. I rarely posted, but when I did, either in Flood or ODST. 4. I think I was a Veteran Legendary Member. 5. I'm here hoping the elder days of the Flood would return. 6. I've been banned 1 time, I think. 7. Clockman.

Edited by Tartan 118: 6/27/2015 1:34:46 PM9 years. Oh god, questions. I'll answer from my laptop... 1. When did you join? 20 May 2006. 2. Why? To share my Halo CE parody. 3. What forum did you mostly post in (If around before the "Hashtag" update)? The Flood. 4. What was your title? (Example: Mine was Noble Legendary Member... Lost Mythic right before the change) Fabled Mythic Member. 5. Why are you still here? Because I like it. 6. How many times have you been banned? I'd take a guess at 5. 7. What is one of your most memorable moments on this site? Including sharing some of Hola (or all of the first and some of the second and none of the rest), my writing has almost always gone down a storm. Including Bungie Day forum fiction The Floodyssey and The Floodyssey II: Bnext's Destiny. A lot of people are also excited for my upcoming Kindle book, The Broken Earth. I only just remembered that I was considering a Floodyssey III. Not sure I have the time now, though.

Edited by Gordonian Knot: 6/27/2015 1:23:23 PM[quote] [b]1. [/b]When did you join? 9/14/2014 [b]2.[/b] Why? To find the grimoire. Found that and these forums. To this day I've barely read the grimoire, but have spent hours on the forums. [b]3.[/b] What forum did you mostly post in (If around before the "Hashtag" update)? Wasn't around then, but I mainly post in The Flood and #gaming [b]4.[/b] What was your title? Titles sound nice ;_; [b]5.[/b] Why are you still here? Made some good friends, plus it's fun to read most of the stuff The Flood posts [b]6.[/b] How many times have you been banned? None yet *knock on wood* [b]7.[/b] What is one of your most memorable moments on this site? Probably when we took #gaming back from the Desticles. Aka "The Reclamation" [/quote]

67% were here for a year or less. They don't know what titles are.

I started browsing in like '06, the flood was my home. Unfortunately i stopped coming onto b.net and as a result ended up making a new account.

Joined Bungie.net on Halloween 2013, and started using the forums pretty quickly. Usually use #Offtopic and #Gaming.
