A flood forum history (Is on it's way with your help).

So it looks like I'm going to be undertaking another grand undertaking. None of you know the last one, just know that I stopped working on it because I seem to do that alot. The fact that I somewhat manage the library, if at all is astounding. Aaaaanyway, I need ya'll's help. I have a good source of information for 2005-2007, [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=11663745]xTRIGGER092x's History of The Flood Forum.[/url] It's missing information on Twitch, and there is some information that wasn't included that I will hopefully be able to fill in. However, the problem is that I haven't been the most... um... active member over the past year. I don't remember most of what has happened over the past 2.5 years, and that's where I need your help. If you have any memories post 7/9/2007 post them here. I'll be saving the thread, and possibly bumping it if necessary, and then using the information, and xTRIGGER092x's to make a second Flood Forum History. New, Improved, and maybe with some glitter if I find the glue. Links to specific threads are appreciated, so I can look over the events myself. So.... on you mark, get set, go find history! [u]I need dates guys[/u] [b]-----------------_______________________________________________________----------------[/b] Alright, I'm pretty decided on what I'm going to do for this edition history. I'm still accepting more submissions, but right now I need descriptions of these events. [b]The bolded ones anyway.[/b] I'll post if I need anything other than a description(which would include dates). I'll also post [i]In italics[/i] why it is being included. I'll put information I need in [b]bold.[/b] [b]Jetfalcon 200?[/b] [i]Drew the ire of the entire forum. Ended up making a thread that lead to the banning of many, many regular members.[/i] [b]Hancock's death[/b] 200? [i]First time a member openly declared he was dying, the controversy that surrounded all of that[/i] [b]Gamerz Property Pics[/b] 200? [i]This showed the worst of The Flood, the absolute worst. It was a very polarizing moment, and everyone seemed to have an opinion on it, and some of them were pretty ugly[/i] Shiska is a Pegboy 2005 [i]Because he is one[/i] Twitch 2005 [i]Twitch for pres, etc. etc.[/i] Hotpinks Marriage 2006 [i]First time Flood members formed a relationship that led to marriage[/i] 2006-2008 being the glory days of forum fiction writers [i]Because it's a moment that was very important to me, and was pretty important to the forum Halifax's story might be a time marker[/i] The Pie Thread 2007-2008 [i]Seriously, huge thread, controversy over whether or not it should be locked.[/i] The New Flood 2007 The Flood v2 2008 Play Nice Rules 2008 [i]One of those huge demographic shifts that should always be recorded in history. This will be one huge section, and I've got it covered. I was actually active then[/i] kitchen 8 2007 [i]Included in xTRIGGER092x's history, so I have the information I need.[/i] Attacking the PETA boards 2008 [i]The Flood attacks a forum that wasn't connected to Bungie.net in anyway. Admins weren't pelased[/i] Drawball 2009 [i]An attempt of The Flood to do something as a group. Left a mark on something. Maybe something about /b/, though I would hate to do so.[/i] Harlow being "emperor," 2009 Harlow, Rhea, Naked N00b popularity wars 2009 [i]It's interesting, was a large moment in the forum. Groups were created, etc.[/i] Porch Day 2009 [i]Um... People treat it like they can't even talk about it[/i] Element War 2009 [i]It reminds me a lazer wars, and the fact that alts were created to participate in it makes it significant. That large of a forum game is also important[/i] [Edited on 02.13.2010 4:49 PM PST]

At this point in Bungie.net's history, there was not post limit or cooldown; so he was able to create that many threads fairly quickly.[/quote] [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=4447603]That was so win.[/url]

I am slightly surprised this has not been suggested already ;)[/quote]Don't worry, I've already written up the complete section on theat. I only need to do Hancock's Death, Flood v2/New Flood/Play Nice Rules, and The Gamerz Property Stuff. The latter requires me to talk a fine line, while avoiding red tape. The New Flood section requires me to read some stuff and I might need to send some messages, and the Hancock one requires me to read a bit more. Oh, and what's with all the bans.

    Can we reach a compromise? What if squirrel says what the thread generally was and includes the reaction/fighting of the populace without mentioning who created the thread?
