14 year anniversary
14 years ago today I created an account here to get a bungie.net logo behind my gamertag on Halo 2. For the most part since, it's been a blast being a part of this community. I've made a lot of friends, and promptly forgot nearly all (sorry). I've met up with the community at PAX and finally got to meet some fellow Marty Army members in person. I was able to join in on the halo movie clan bandwagon while it was thousands strong. Hell, I got to even blame stosh before it was appropriate. Not sure if that's really a good thing, honestly.
14 years ago, I was 13. I was a stupid kid who thought he was clever, and while I'm still pretty stupid today, it is mortifying to look at my early post history. It's safe to say bungie.net was my introduction to the online community. My world has been less lonely as a result though, and I'll always be appreciative of that. While some of the charm of the site [i]has[/i] been lost for me and I haven't been too active recently, through it all I still believe I'll always be hopping back to the site, and that I'll have more reasons to do so in the long term.
Anyway, it's 5am here and I'm not awake enough to better put my thoughts in order. The last time I think I made a post like this it may have been 7 years ago. So thanks to whoever read this, and..see you in 7 more years?

1 ReplyYour post actually made me log in. I check back here when I get that rare memory and some spare time, but I never actually have bothered to log in here for the past six or so months. [quote]I'll have more reasons to do so in the long term[/quote]Oh how I wish I had that mentality still. What makes you even think that? Unless you're into Destiny or somehow have retained any attachment to Bungie as a Community/Septagon member, I don't get it.

4 RepliesCongrats on the 14 years! Just don't see many grizzled ancients on this site anymore, kind of a shame really.

Glad to see there are long-timers still hanging on around here. I mean, think about it: You’ve been active on this site for [i]fourteen[/i] years. That’s before Facebook and Instagram came to mobile, and people use that stuff daily and with ease. Being active here required more input. The app for Bnet was only released in 2013 I think, meaning any user would have to log in through computer just to continue whatever conversation they were having. Anyways, congrats! May you go once more unto the breach.

3 RepliesDamn. To think that you've also survived the 2/7 Purge.

Heck yeah!

Congrats!

1 ReplyIt’s cool to see how many other ancient ones you bring back with one post, I’ve only been around for 3 going on 4 years as of now. I wish I was around for b.net in its hay day, I can even notice the difference of attitude within the few years I’ve been here. I’d give a lot to have the life from even just a little while ago return, however everything good must come to an end. It’s sad, honestly.

2 RepliesHow do I see when I first got here? I know it says 2 years but I want the exact day.

Doing the math, It makes you older than me. So from this day forth, I'll refer to you as "Old Man". *(jokes)* (*≧艸≦) Jokes aside, congrats on your long tenure.

1 ReplyHow are you able to access your early post just?!?! I thought Bungie had deleted all that.
-
2 RepliesYou were pretty great the whole way. Dealing with all you shit teens back then made me a better person. I'm glad to know ya, hope I wasn't too big of a jerk.
-
Awesome!

Almost 30 years old...damn dude you got lucky in the age of the Internet!

Woah... I thought the elders had all passed on. How did you survive the Flood? [spoiler]baited[/spoiler]

Congrats on sticking it out that long. My 11 is in 2 days. Seems like a short time and forever ago.
