I've gone by many names here, too many to list. Most of them are identities I no longer want to be associated with, since they reflect a person I no longer want to be. So I've left that past behind.
But I have been a member of this forum for ages. I remember hopping in during the days of Halo 3. I've been on a lot of forums and bungie.net was by far one of the funniest, zaniest communities I've been a part of. It had a little bit of everything. It had humor, arguments, serious exchanges. It had inside jokes, artists, writers, and thinkers alike.
There were wars between forums, Halo theories, colorful personalities like Lord Snakie and Spartan Ken. Bungie employees would actually interact with the community.
Now...this place feels like a graveyard. I hope this changes. It probably won't though.

Yeah, this place is proper lame, innit? I like that there are still a few stragglers that I've seen since the time I joined Bnet, and there's even a few newer users I don't mind, but this place is definitely a shell of its former self. I question why I still have the app installed. Maybe it's also an age / generation thing (also rose tinted shades) but just in general, the user base was more, Idk, interesting? Like, there were people here I was kinda invested in on a perhaps para social level. Did Madness Reborn ever become a mortician? Did the Lindsey Sterling fanboy get married to her? Is Door a Physicist or whatever yet? Is Verbatim still an insufferable yet paradoxically charming -blam!-? Stuff like that.
