I find it hard to believe it's already been something like thirteen years since the early Halo footage blew my teenage mind and I stumbled into this community. As soon as I hit the Marathon story page, I was hooked. I had my share of LAN parties, went to the fanfests, and posted frequently as "Skeletor" until around 2007 when I went to college and picked up a BM in classical guitar. I still remember all the old forum characters and wonder what they've gotten up to these days.

I just wanted to say thanks to you all for being part of such an incredible community, and to Bungie for always being so close with the fans. I stumbled upon the Destiny ViDoc today and the whole concept sounds really fantastic. I'll be following eagerly. Cheers!

I think it's awesome to see old names reappear around here. :)

I actually remember you specifically, or if that's just a name I've heard in general before.

Either way, welcome back! Hope you have fun :)

I'm enjoying the reminiscing, too. It feels like a lifetime ago, not just ~12 years, that I started lurking around HBO to keep my mind off of college work. It's nice to see old names.

Whoa, I recognize that name. Ancient Halo tricking history and all that good stuff.

Welcome back.

Professional lurker. Welcome back.

Thanks Claude! You're amazing. I couldn't imagine this place without you.

I bet we'll see some more old timers crawl out of the woodwork in the months to come. I always found the road up to release of a new Bungie game the most exciting period, with imaginations running wild and whatnot. :)
