Yes, I enjoy coming here. I would go to 2009. The anticipation of ODST was awesome. Yes, but I don't think warnings should demote your title. I post game news from time to time. However much fills up half a page of post history. I relate to the Halo lovers, but I don't [i]hate[/i] CoD, 343i, or PS3. My fondest memory would be Halo Reach excitement and love, not hatred.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Helveck Do you enjoy coming here on a regular basis, or is it a force of habit?[/quote] Probably both. The older I get, the less I enjoy it, however.

The Sapphire community has taken up most of my time, hard to choose a moment from that continuing saga. It's more of a journey.

To many questions that require way deep soul searching. ;) [Edited on 09.23.2012 7:28 PM PDT]

Answering your questions would yield me nothing. I would share fond memories if I was capable of retaining memories in the first place. Long ago I realized my purpose in being here. There is no greater achievement or pleasure. I seek to return this place to the sea.

[quote]Do you enjoy coming here on a regular basis, or is it a force of habit?[/quote] I love all of you. But, you know in that, not stalker-ish kind of way. [quote]Ready and willing to return to a specific era or time on this site, where would you chose to go first?[/quote] Probably late 2009. All the reaction from ODST, and all of the thrilly about Reach. [quote]Are you happy with how things are currently moderated and how the site is kept in terms of content cleanliness?[/quote] Can't complain. [quote]Giving and taking is what this site is about... Do you feel you give equal to what you share in terms of posting content? Or do you simply absorb information and refrain from participating?[/quote] I like to participate. The community is what I kep coming back for. [quote]On a given day, what do you think your average post amount might be?[/quote] I'll sometimes go up to four or five. It'd be more but I got alot of other stuff to do. [quote]Nearly everyone here shares a common interest and love for games, and the Bungie Community itself. Do you find you identify with many Members? Or do feel you are extremely different and unable to relate to the masses? [/quote] I don't know, everyone here is pretty cool. [quote]Share your fondest Memory of this site, and your hopes for future change. [/quote] When I first got on the forums, saw the other members, and thought "Yep, this is where I belong." Only thought of change? Just a little more customization for your profile I guess. And maybe make a few fetures for the forums. Emotes, buttons for [b]Bold Text[/b] and other formats.

1) I enjoy coming here and interacting with the community. 2) From the time I was here I would go back to the pre-Reach days when we didn't really know what was going to be in it and there was an insane amount of hype. From any time I would want to see this site around Halo 2. I've heard good things. 3) Happy. 4) I certainly read more than I post, but I add my voice when I think I have something to contribute. 5) Varies, maybe 5-10 on an average day, mostly in groups, more if I'm debating. 6) I think I identify with everyone's love of games, even if I haven't played Minecraft like everyone else here. 7) I don't know about my fondest memory of the site, maybe a couple years ago when I used to speculate about the Halo Universe in the Universe forum. That was back when I had the time to read all of the new books. As for the future change, I just hope that after bungie.next comes out that after the shiny newness wears off it is still even more awesome than the current site.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Helveck Some very generic questions. Why?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Helveck Do you enjoy coming here on a regular basis, or is it a force of habit?[/quote]I would have to say it has become a force of habit.

[quote]Are you happy with how things are currently moderated and how the site is kept in terms of content cleanliness?[/quote]Sure. I believe the moderators do a good job of keeping order. [quote]Giving and taking is what this site is about... Do you feel you give equal to what you share in terms of posting content? Or do you simply absorb information and refrain from participating?[/quote]Both. I absorb more than I post, but I try to post with meaningful content most of the time. As of the past while, that is difficult to do since there is little to nothing in the mains to post about. So, I have to admit, I do post jokes and jabs more often at friends, simply to have some sort of interaction. [quote]On a given day, what do you think your average post amount might be?[/quote]Mains - 1-2 Private - 3-5, depending on the day. [quote]Nearly everyone here shares a common interest and love for games, and the Bungie Community itself. Do you find you identify with many Members? Or do feel you are extremely different and unable to relate to the masses?[/quote]I identify with a couple in the mains, more so in private groups. Those couple in the mains are from private groups. [quote]Share your fondest Memory of this site, and your hopes for future change.[/quote]Memory - A certain guitar playing, man-child getting ultra banned stands out as a highlight. But just the sense of 'community' and all having a common interest(s) does too. Future - Who knows. I hope the upcoming revisions are well thought out. I also hope the new game is something that revolutionizes gaming and reinvigorates this site, and gets people here playing together collectively again.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Helveck Do you enjoy coming here on a regular basis, or is it a force of habit?[/quote] Force of habit, definitely. I only ever show up now to waste my time, and I don't always post because it's tough to find anything here worth discussing. Also see #4. [quote]Ready and willing to return to a specific era or time on this site, where would you chose to go first?[/quote] I'd go back to my first day here, and back further if I can. One, I really enjoyed coming to the site throughout the year or so leading up to Halo 3's release. The discussion concerning every tidbit of information and the number of stories Frankie/Urk posted kept me constantly busy whenever I was here. Two, I think this is true for any community, it stays tighter and nicer the smaller it is (to an extent). [quote]Are you happy with how things are currently moderated and how the site is kept in terms of content cleanliness?[/quote] Sometimes I think the mods are too uptight. I've gotten ticked off by them before. But they do what they do. Crap is taken care of relatively quickly, it seems. [quote]Giving and taking is what this site is about... Do you feel you give equal to what you share in terms of posting content? Or do you simply absorb information and refrain from participating?[/quote] It's always seemed that my posts don't get much attention. Kinda why I don't know why I come back. But either way, I take more than I give. I wish I was more involved, because I really am a social person IRL, but it just doesn't work the same on the internet. [quote]On a given day, what do you think your average post amount might be?[/quote] <1 [quote]Nearly everyone here shares a common interest and love for games, and the Bungie Community itself. Do you find you identify with many Members? Or do feel you are extremely different and unable to relate to the masses?[/quote] I don't get around the site much; I stick to the Flood (God know why). But the general consensus is yay everything that being a nerd/geek entails, nay everything popular. I can understand the nerdy geeky side, but the social opposite-ness, if that makes sense, is stifling (and childish, IMO). [quote]Share your fondest Memory of this site, and your hopes for future change.[/quote] I can't believe I forgot about this; it's in my sig! But a while back the user Fatal_Coin_Vest and I had some back and forth in a thread that was... really funny? Or something, I don't quite remember, but whatever it was we must have really enjoyed it, because then Captain K Mart ended up using his moderator powers to marry us. That was cool. But in the future I hope we lose some people, preferably the idiots, trolls, and children, and gain a group of people who really care about Bungie's next game and Bungie as a company. As I said before the pre-Halo 3 time here was really fun (I'm sure it was the same for previous games, too). I would like to see a return to that. I want to talk to people who are ready to get immersed in the story and the new universe. I want people who appreciate the game for what it is, but that also understand this is a labor of love for Bungie, and to appreciate that fact, and appreciate how great the Bungie team is. It's a long-shot, but I'm hopeful. [Edited on 09.23.2012 11:35 PM PDT]
