I don’t even remember what I thought about this place it’s been so long. September 2008, I joined to look at halo 3 news and stats and stuff, then discovered the forums sometime afterwards, I think I first came on to ask where a skull was or something, and gravitated towards The Flood because heck it was a place to kick back from all the AR/BR arguments and people complaining LASO was too hard. All I can remember from back then is being an idiotic 15 year old with ‘opinions’ lol. Politics and religion weren’t banned yet I don’t think so flamewars got pretty bad and long-winded before people were banned or the thread was locked. The pre-trollface memes were still circling hard ([url=https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/007/632/1244314348620.png]i can only really think of this one but I’m sure there were others floating about[/url]), and to be honest the only real difference between then and now (besides the politics and religion) is the activity which was through the roof in comparison, and the way they’d replace bad words with -blam!- instead of just banning you like these days. I’m glad they kept the [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] one though, that was always my favourite. Oh yeah, and there were meatspin links all over the place, and similar sites that people would try to get you to click on. I don’t really know what happened to that kinda thing...
