I'm sure many of us didn't make an account before we started browsing the forums.
I joined in late 2011, but had browsed the forums since the days of Halo 2.
I believe I actually looked in the forums for the first time around '06, it was before Halo 3 released for sure.
I simply read, but never made an account and commented. Kinda glad I didn't though, I was just a kid.
This place would have chewed me up and spit me out :)

I just registered because I wanted to redeem my beta code for destiny. I've never really liked websites for video games and gaming companies. But since I joined I can't stop returning to bungie.net, this place is amazing. *sniff* I love you guys... *breaks into tears*
