It's been tough seeing the Community forum change from Bungie's biggest fans and ground-zero of culture to a depot for art-related Destiny content. But I'm not hear to piss and moan--change is inevitable. To believe the times before this were better is a fool's errand: every period of time has its ups and downs, we just remember the best of times and forget the worst of them. What I do want to leave with you is a simple message: cherish the moments you have with whatever state of life you find yourself in, because you won't get it back. Some users like to parade how long they've been here, others how big of an impact they've made. The one thing many fail to address is how [i]other people[/i] have made an impact on this site and its users, people who have become lost in the corners of time as the site marches ever onward. These people were, and are, public servants who work in the dark without desire for recognition. Some have official titles, some are unnamed. You may have seen them as they rallied the community behind a single banner, may have heard of their game nights hosted, title bar threads, creative media posted, how-to's published, jokes shared, and ride-alongs ridden along. They are the essence of the community. Through them the Mythics were banned, the Flood was hated, the moms were dated, and the porches were...also dated. Their blood burns bright blue. While this thread---and ultimately the forum as a whole---will be forgotten, your contributions will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything you've done, and will continue to do. We wouldn't be the same without you. [url=https://youtu.be/SBjKWKN6jaI]Last one out, hit the lights.[/url]
