The Director

This is only half true. For instance, the following members were newer than I was when they got MoM. 1. EGYPTIANGHETTO 2. Quantum Matrix 3. Mr.Biggles 4. Donut 5. 343iBot 6. Azaxx There was literally only one MoM who joined before I did, and that was Twinreaper. Not to mention the fact that at the time I had more posts than Quantum, Donut, and EGYPTIANGHETTO put together. The only one in that list who had more posts than I did was Mr.Biggles, and Azaxx and I were competing with post counts. The reason I didn't get MoM sooner wasn't because I was newer, it wasn't because I was inactive in the forums, it was simply because I went unnoticed for quite a while. The main reason is because I didn't go to playdates and I wasn't in the shoutbox very much. The secondary reason is because most of my posts were helping new people in one way or another. By the time I got MoM, I had posted every achievement to every Halo game and how to get them, three separate tech help guides, and posted on hundreds of "omg I need help" topics. What finally got me noticed was the Ask The Director thread. To recap, I had to be on the site for a full year, have over 1k posts (I think it might have actually been 2k), and have at least 7 topics that had over 50 replies before I finally got MoM. So it isn't a case of new people being ignored.

Who said that they don't?

Yes I do. I began using 4chan in 2004 and have been using it ever since. I originally stuck to /a/ for quite some time, but then I began using /sci/. It wasn't until late 2005 that I began posting on /b/, which to this date remains my favorite board.

Ahhh, the Pinocchio Paradox. This is a version of the Liar's Paradox (This statement is a lie) that counters the solutions to the original paradox. For instance, a resolution to the original paradox (Liar's Paradox) is to assume that the person saying, "This statement is a lie" always lies and is doing a double bluff lie. A lie with a grain of truth, as it were. In the case of the Pinocchio Paradox, the fact that his nose grows only when he lies eliminates the previous resolution. That being said, since your question is a paradox there is no answer to it. The answer has to be yes or no yet it cannot be yes or no, therefor there is no answer. Depends on what you are using to raise the chicken. Easy way to tell is to use a tape measure. Grif. Grif is actually my favorite character because he is the comic relief of the show. Doesn't matter how dark and twisted the plot gets, as long as Grif is in the scene there will be lulz.

I don't have kids, so no.

It's due to the way IP Boards work. It's called a group because at any given time there has the potential for more than one Admin/Site Mod. Children love cinnamon toast crunch because it has sugar covering it.

Dibs. I will not be on OS. I don't believe in rebellions.

Unless we figure out how to move the planet. Which in a couple million million years might be possible.

The United States of America. Eventually. The Frieden Rebels Yes they do. 1. Not really, as the purpose of the thread is primarily to assist people with questions but has a secondary purpose of entertaining people. 2. My own measure, and I wonder how you are coming about the assumption that I think that I'm the most intelligent member of the forum. From wherever you are getting that assumption, I urge you to reexamine it. 3. See answer 1. 4. It takes some time to get a reply because I have a life and cannot be on the forum for every second of every day, and I also have moderator duties to attend to. This is literally something I do for my own entertainment, and it just so happens to entertain others. I don't think there will be a unit of measurement for the year when the Earth finally ends. The first time I got a perfection medal. I was in Big Team Battle on Halo 3 and managed to get into a scorpion. And oh, did I slaughter. "You know nothing" Rather presumptuous I think. Obviously you can know quite a lot even while you haven't read a couple of books. I also do not claim to be a psychotherapist who put too much stock in symbolization. Also I haven't read Far Journeys but I have read Journeys Out of the Body. It wasn't quite my cup of tea and it didn't encourage me to read it's sequel. However, that was a good 7 or 8 years ago. I might give the sequel a try.

The Insurrectionists?

There isn't one. That implies that questions can be measured in difficulty on a scale, however they cannot. Not to mention the "difficulty" of the question is completely dependent on the person being asked the question. For instance, someone who knows how to read and write but doesn't know mathematics would be able to answer "How do you spell ____?" quite easily but will have difficulty answering "What is ____+____?". The vice versa applies as well. I don't offer a premium service. If that's what you are asking.

The right one, because my girlfriend likes to sit on my left and cuddle.

It literally couldn't be one.

Indeed I am.

I haven't had a chance to play it as of yet, however it sounds fun. From your second question I can only assume that there must be a plot twist. I bet the guy from the first two games is in it. Of course.

Highest praise ever! lol

You have to track down and kill my current apprentice. Without me giving you any hints as to who s/he is or where they reside.

Thank you all for your well wishes on this momentous occasion. I wish for another 3 years and 4k more posts among this excellent group of people.

You don't. There already is a Director. Assuming I KNEW it was Dracula, I'd keep driving. Only to some. It has merit. Especially when you consider that Shepherd's actions technically aren't his own in the first place. Of course. I really enjoyed Ocarina of Time, Windwaker, Super Smash Bros, Mario Party, Donkey Kong 64, and a ton of other games. The Nintendo 64 was actually the first console I played more than 2 hours a day on. 1. I like cake more than pie but do not particularly crave either. 2. That would take more than 10 minutes to type. I'm playing the laziness card. Also congrats on the most generalized question possible.

That's right, The Director's account is officially three years old! Not only that, this is it's 4000th post! Yes, this is going to be an ego-boosting thread because I deserve it for being awesome. In the past three years and 4k posts, quite a lot has been accomplished. Like many of you, when I first joined the forum I thought that it was directly affiliated with 343i. Didn't see the "community forum" part. When I found out that this was a community forum, I made the decision to become a part of this community and to contribute to it as much as I could. My original Username was AAN2, which is also my gamertag as well as my initials. As I got more involved in the forum, the shoutbox, and the community I began to want a different username. One that reflected my personality. Most of the usernames related to RvB (Red vs Blue by Roosterteeth) were already taken, and I wouldn't settle for a XxusernamexX or a username123 or any of that. On January 11, 2012 I had decided on The Chairman. 21 minutes later I changed my mind and became The Director. The reasons I changed my mind was simple. The Director fit my personality better and also had pictures that I could use as my avatar and signature. There's been plenty of joking name changes since, but at the core I've been The Director the entire time. After my username change I began posting. A lot. I currently have the recorded record for the most posts in a 24 hour period. At the time, Absolute Dog was combing through every single one of those posts looking for an excuse to ban me, and ban me he did. Not for "spamming", but for bragging about getting the most posts in a day. My posts were said to be unique in the amount of content in them vs the amount of them. That brings us to threads. Shortly after I joined the forum, a thread for Achievements was made by Spectral Jester. That thread was my first major contribution to the forum, as I listed every single achievement in Halo and how to get it. It took quite a while to do so, but in the end it helped a ton of people out. My next most helpful thread in my eyes was my Minecraft Achievement thread, where I explained how to get each Minecraft Achievement and even offered to help people get the more difficult ones. I honestly can't remember how many people took me up on that, but there was plenty enough to keep me busy. When the popularity of Minecraft died down, I had to find other things to keep me busy. I started the "Did You Knows" threads, and maintained them as best as I could. When it became apparent that we were running out of things to know on those threads I began the "Ask The Director" thread. ATD was the single most popular thread in General Discussion, and still maintains the most replies of any thread in that subforum. At one point it was even pinned, but after I locked the thread (too busy being a mod) it got unpinned. In the midst of all of this I also posted plenty of threads that were heart wrenching and beautiful (if I do say so myself). I had the "Director's Lesser Known Games" threads, a couple of other help threads, and a TON of Halo discussion threads. I participated in the "Great Shoutbox RolePlay", with Donut, Ashlynn, and others. It was the most organized this site has ever been, and it was a blast. It was basically improv in the shoutbox. That was when the shoutbox wasn't nearly as packed as it is now, and we could get away with hijacking it the way we did. I also held the first ever Minecraft Playdate and actually made it. For the last half. I also hosted a couple of other playdates, including Dog's first ever playdate, and have played a lot of Halo with the members here. I was the first forum president, a Member of the Month, the first non-staff to receive an award (while Twam was creating the award system), and at one point the member with the most awards. I think I still have the most types of awards, but I'm not sure. It was sometime between the Achievement Help and my Minecraft thread that I was first asked to be a moderator. At the time, I didn't want the responsibility and hassle that comes along with the job. I turned it down. A year or so later and after a period of time where I was only coming on the forum to answer questions in ATD, Absolute Dog messaged me asking if I wanted to be a moderator. Since I was looking for something new and challenging to reintegrate into the community, I said yes. As a moderator, I've been responsible for quite a bit. I explained the rules a bit more (the coloration in the rules section), I tidied up the Clan Section, and I've banned quite a few bad people. I've banned trolls, a-holes, bots, and everyone and thing that deserved a ban. I love to ban. I've also taken part in the great Spam Bot skirmishes that we've had over the past couple of years. After nearly a year on the moderator team, I had some very important personal issues that pulled me away from the site. As a result, I retired from the moderating team. Almost another year later, RSR asked me if I could come back, and I did. And here we are. Three years and 4000 posts later. The thing is though, being here and posting a lot aren't exactly big accomplishments. Every single person hear can achieve that eventually. Except Azaxx. He's not going to have 4k posts by his 3 year mark. Bwah ha ha ha. There is plenty of other things that have taken place in the last 3 years that I simply have forgotten or can't talk about, but this is getting rather long so I think I'll cut it short. Anyways, that's a wall of text to commemorate my 3 year tenure on the site as well as my four-thousandth post. Happy forum birthday to me.
