What have you done for the community?
(Ninjas and employees, this question isn't really about you. :P)
So you love Bungie, right? You love the games, you love the people, you queued up at midnight for your copy of Halo 3 and then wrote several angry threads about Reach when it wasn't exactly the same game with better guns. You've been here for years, squealed like a girl that one time an employee posted in your thread, thought about starting a private group that you thought could be "like the Flood but more chill and relaxed and we can cuss and stuff". You've seen big names come and go, and voted in at least one popularity thread per month, as is mandated under the ToS as a condition of your membership.
But what have you actually [i]done[/i] for this community?
The Septagon is a beautiful perfect circle of ass-kissing and repeat threads, and I realise that's why some people love it. People post with authority despite the fact that they don't have any, and people flock to their posts for no reason other than to keep the machine going. But what have any of you actually [i]done[/i]? How have you made the community better? How do you think your contributions, either on an individual scale or as part of something bigger, have left their mark on this site, no matter how big or small?
This isn't a criticism, or a demand for credentials. I just want to know how you see yourselves and your place here. I want to know whether or not you think your voice matters, and why. More than anything, I want to get a sense of what you think it takes to make a difference, and how far you'd be willing to go to do it.

I don't recall doing anything for the Community!
-
It doesn't matter what we've done. It matters that we support them and appreciate them, whether it be by praise or criticism. We're here because we love them. We don't have to [i]do[/i] anything. We're here for them, and that's all they need. If the time arises, and Bungie would call upon us for more support, I guarantee that septagon would rise to the occasion.

I've been good, I've been here, and most of all... WE DIE TOGETHER, BUNGIE, DON'T LEAVE US, WE WON'T LEAVE YOU lolbutseriously, I've basically posted, contributed, e.t.c.
-
Tried to get people thinking about important issues.
-
I play Bungie's games to support them. I am part of the audience for videos, montages, screenshots, whatever that the Community does. I am part of the circle of Bungie fans who have followed Bungie throughout.

I'm the reason people now hate haikus.

I love the community and I love volunteering, I was a Cadet and am now a [url=http://www.redcross.org.uk/]British Red Cross[/url] volunteer cracking up to a total of 400 hours of volunteer work. So as much as I do in real life I like to do some on Bungie.net as well. I have made a few avatars and group themes, I currently am an Admin on both Bungie and Destiny wikis as well as the Community Joes. I did also lend a hand with the Bungie.net FAQ. I am not going to list everything, however I do want to get the point accross that I [i]do not[/i] do it for 'attention' or for 'fame'. I do it because [b]I enjoy it[/b]. Edit: Now I suggest that perhaps you should run along back to the flood or sapphire.. ;) [Edited on 10.07.2012 4:23 AM PDT]

Criticized all the bad ideas. You're welcome.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ARBITOR 5 Edit: Now I suggest that perhaps you should run along back to the flood or sapphire.. ;)[/quote] I'm going to agree. If someone here were to think critically about this forum and its members then it would threaten our perpetual circle jerk. We can't lose our perpetual circle jerk; we're nothing without it.

Private group creation and moderation have felt pretty rewarding to me.

My team and I poured our hearts and minds into our Halo: CE expansion, "Lumoria", and we did it for the community. [url]http://lumoriace.com[/url] [Edited on 10.07.2012 5:39 AM PDT]

This thread has come up before, and I still refuse to reply with every little thing that I've done "for" the community as to prevent appearing self-absorbed and to avoid participating in what sometimes turns into a pissing contest. But I will say this, everything I have done, I've done because I value this place and everyone within, so I created things to share and to entertain. I wish I still had time to do so these days.

Help in the ways I could.

-blam!- all. Contributing is for losers
-
What's the community done for me?
-
Honestly, I don't think I did much. Just hung around and had some good times.
-
Try and get as much attention as possible.
