Eight Years And All The Different
Eight years ago today I completed my first real endeavor to B.net by stepping off of the Recon Train and into the forums. I’ve seen many events unfold here; the failed campaign of the Reach forum to try and pick shit with the Flood, the downfall of the New New Hotness, Achronos’ nuking of b.old, and the mass exodus of b.new. Beloved members have come and gone, but aren’t forgotten. The likes of [i]A 3 Legged Goat[/i] and [i]Officer Nasty[/i] will always live on in memory.
This site is but a hollow shell of its former self, but I’ll probably still be around to see a decade.
Always remember: [i]”Stosh’s Mom is a very classy lady.”[/i]

I honestly championed for a change, mainly one that would allow tagging of posts to give some air of self moderation, but I feel like true to form, things were taken too far. I miss the classic design and layout of the forums. Edit: Also what happened to a true community/septagon forum? The "community" forum just seems to be people looking for Fireteams and Clans. Which reminds me, the "New New Hotness" totally stripped the personality from the forums. No septagon, no Flood. It's just "community" and "offtopic". I understand The Flood was seated in Halo, but they could have at least gone with "The Hive". Anyway, I regret pushing for a change.
