So, it's pretty common knowledge that people mature and change over time. That still is true for people, well most people, even here in the internet. So my question to you, community, is how have you grown/evolved/changed/etc as a community member?
As for me, I'm ashamed to say I used to be one of those stereotypical Halo fanboys asking for the haunted helemt (even bargaining with Bungie at one point) only coming here to check my stats, and occasionally coming here to post ridiculous spam threads that had no meaning at all. But then I started posting and making friends here on b.net so everything changed. I even discovered that private groups had their own forums, who knew? Luckily, I'm not that awful member any longer and I intend to find a great way to contribute to our incredible community.
So, what about you? How have you grown?

I haven't been here nearly as long as others (not even two years at this point), but I'd like to think that the community (and the Gallery) has inspired me to be more upfront and passionate about what I do, and to keep on trucking when the times get tough. Oh, and it's given me a horrible sense of humour. How 'bout them puns?
