Recent Phases of the Bungie.net Community.
Halo Years -> Darkness -> Darkness (With Beta, less members around) -> Pre-Game return of the Light (No Site Beta) -> The Light has returned (Destiny is Released.)
So that's just a little idea of what it's been like for the last few years (And the next few months).
Think back to each phase, remember what it was like. The Darkness is almost over, lets take a moment to remember what it was like before this site switches over to full blown Destiny mode.
Lets remember members who are not here anymore. Lets remember the trolls, Halo 4 threads, and other trends. Lets remember what this place used to be, as we look to the feature.

Criticized, but largely underrated (Begin in the great decline of user activity, fractures to small groups and chapters) > No way, they are releasing Reach! > Reach = unusual, but not bad > Decline of official news updates, darkness begins > The Great Schism (343 coalesces and takes over Halo) > Darkness at peak, active user count drops, but signal rises far above noise > Destiny announcement That's the community vibe ever since 2005
