I was just thinking back to the long period of low activity on the site during and after the handover of the rights to Halo and whatnot. Assuming the site update signified the end of the darkness, how long exactly did the darkness last? Do you remember those days?
I thought I'd put a poll in here too, for analysis. Even though I suspect the vast majority of us were here during that time anyway.
We ought to have a Bungie t-shirt saying "I survived the darkness"

I kind of came here during the darkness. I created my account sometime in the middle of Reach (but I've been playing Halo from the beginning) and didn't start using the forums until the darkness was under way.
