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]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] dmbfan09 8/16/2005: A spammer named Watermelon King created at [i]least[/i] 15 pages of nothing but "Shishka is a Pegboy" as the title and body of each thread. 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]
