Back in the Day 2

Some of you may remember my earlier post linking to all of my early posts on Bungie.net, so I am here to make somewhat of another post like that. Only thing is, since they had to clear some server space I cannot find any of my older posts again, which sucks. So instead of giving you old posts, I will give you a little bit of my history there.
One post though that is relatively recent:
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=27070211&postRepeater1-p=2#27072360
"I like to be a part of the play."
"But, I thought that the community was a place?"
"No, you've got it wrong"

Now for some history...sort of.
What actually made me sign up for the site, was there was a thread that I wanted to post on. I don't exactly remember what the thread was about, but it was about something. When I decided to create an account I had no idea for a name so I asked a few friends. One of them picked up one of my Halo books and just randomly said "onyx spartan". I thought, "cool, I'll use it" So I get the account, then go find the community and browse it for a little while and find some threads to make a couple of my very first posts. I go on every now and then and make a post or two, not really thinking about being an active member on it. I then become more active and find out they have two forums dedicated to Halo 1 and Halo 2. So I'm thinking "Hey, sweet this is new to me." I spent alot of my time there reading those forums and learned a little more about the story and also learned that Bungie interacts with their community quite frequently as well. A couple of months went down the road and I got a message asking if I would like to join something called a group. So I respond back saying sure, why not and what is a group? Well the group was pretty cool, until I found out that it was rather...dull. Alot of people posted and all sure, but the way it was run, wasn't all that good. So I left it and started my own, well it failed horribly. Then I get another message to join a group called ERS Spartans, I join and find out it's a pretty cool group. When I joined I was one of the first 10 or 15 members to join, he then asks if I want to be a mod. So I say sure while asking him what should do since I was still new to the whole site. I am in that position for only a couple weeks before he decides to make me a journalist for the group. I held that position for a good couple of months not complaining about it or anything. He then releases an announcement for the group that contains all the recent promotions, news and other things of interest. When I saw that I realised that my name had ERS Admiral next to it, so I am like sweet what's this. I ask him and he says I am now an admin in the group, so I'm like okay cool. I had no idea what I was supposed to do, so I just went along with it. I've been in the group ever since then and it's been a year since it started.

At the height of my membership there, they introduced a "Halo 3" forum, so I went there for quite a while and posted some pretty stupid topics and I had one good topic there. If I remember correctly it was about there being air strikes in the game. Well back then I thought it was a cool idea, but now not so much. My only real good topic, but even that was later on. It was about how often do you betray your teammates. Mainly since a moderator posted on it.


That is pretty much my history there at Bungie.net. Hope you enjoyed reading it. I know it's not like my other post, but like I said I couldn't find any of my older posts since they had make more server space. Also this coming March it will be two years since I joined the site, which means if all goes well I should become a Legendary member. Which will be cool since I have been a Heroic member for a little while now, but it's been an awesome place.
Oh plus this is my 30th post on my blog here. Enjoy all!
