I know most of you will not care and even say let the door hit you on the way out. I know I wasn't a big, popular dude back then or even now I know its silly to bother going through the trouble to write this, none the less, I feel obligated to do so. I don't know why I feel this way, but I do and wanted to share my farewell. I remember when I first stumbled across Bungie.net back in 2007 when I was getting excited for the release of Halo 3.
I sat in my chair watching the video of Bungie showing off their Forge mode (Which my name did NOT come from). Then I saw the Community, and I thought to myself, [b]"What a great community, I should join on in this shenanigans." [/b] Over that time, I enjoyed going onto the Bungie forum on a daily basis and just laughing my ass off on a weekly basis.
As time continued, I noticed the forum only got better, but the moderation back then was WAY too strict. I probably couldn't go a month or two without getting at least one ban, but I kept coming back for more. The community and I continued to find was around the banhammer and at the same time had some legit Lols in the process. The only Mod back then and I still enjoyed seeing around was [b]Recon Number 54,[/b] I will greatly miss him, whever he is now. I remember how awesome it was to get a ranked title on this site.. made you feel unique.. or even with those with an ego, Masta race.
[u]But then the fire nation attacked.[/u] Hehe.. I loved all the internet memes I discovered from this site. Even though they may not have originated from here, I always felt in my heart they did. I miss those days.. I also miss the days when Bungie.net was dark and when Bungie went Light, I died a little inside.
The final straw was last night when I evaluated condition this "Community" is in. How the game Destiny gained an undeniable foothold on #Gaming.. and even has spread slightly over to #Offtopic. I knew in my sad heart, it was time for this old Flood to set sail. I could go on and on, but I don't want you to call China and told them I stole their wall.. I depart for my new internet home, the sep7agon.. left a link to all those who wish to follow..
SOME of the Phrases/Memes/Threads I grew to love from here:
"Suicide is the only option"
"Stick it in her pooper"
"Then the fire nation attacked"
"U mad bro?"
"AMA Topics"
"PC Mustard rice"
"What the hell did you say to me!?"
"Booty threads"
"Replace one word in a title with the word Balls"
"Kill it! Kill it with fire"
"Dat ass"
"Come at me bro"
"Mind = Blown"
And so many more....
Good-bye... : (
[spoiler]PS. I sold Destiny today for $40. I feel a heavy burden has been lifted from me. Be Brave I will, but somewhere else[/spoiler]

RIP in piece.

Why do people always say they're leaving, and come back not a week later?
-
Okay have fun with a boring forum.
-
Good luck wherever you go.
-
goodbye and hope you find something better. we will always be here for you. sorry if that sounded rude [spoiler]i can't take that so many people are leaving the flood[/spoiler]
-
God damn. I wish people would stop leaving. I didn't know you well, but I'll definitely miss you.
-
Destiny is still a pretty new release. People will chill on it with time and new games. I haven't been around much lately to notice. If Destiny is creeping into the off-topic/gaming then the mods need to be doing their job to control that.
-
We need a proper send off- Gets chief gets cortana (halo 3) Shoots AR into air ;(
-
-
RIP in peace bruh.
-

-
So saed.
-
And the numbers continue to dwindle. This is getting more and more depressing.
-
Shame to see you go, dude
-
Awww :(
-
I was banned a million times in those old forums. So was every other rascal in there too. Yet we continued to act an ass. So much fun and good memories from that. Pre ordered Halo 2, I'll never forget touching that shiny metal box with the plastic sleeve. The first time I duel wielded sub machine guns was an epic moment in my gaming time. (Sigh) I feel your pain bud....
-
Though I've not seen you at all until now I would like to say farewell friend and hopefully you can move on peacefully into the next life.
-
Don't go. Stand with your brothers!
-
And my tears. :'(
-
(Writes a checkmark on clipboard) one less flood 300 to go /:3
-
*sheds tear* I've been here since the start of this summer and seeing a old user leave hits me in the feels as if I've been here for the longest time...I don't know why.... [spoiler]perhaps I should goto bed instead of posting?...[/spoiler]

Edited by car15: 10/5/2014 4:26:36 AMYou forgot "Ming blown". That one was always my favorite. Sad to see you go. All these people leaving only prove how lazy Bungie has been about maintaining the wonderful community they built over the past twenty years.

I'm on Sep7agon Booty
-
I'll miss you buddy .... I think
-
I feel bad for never getting the chance to talk to you.
