Anyway let's get into it: Primary Announcement: Here's some incredibly interesting statistics about the site over a month's time: Did you know 8,477 posts have been made from February 8th to March 8th? Did you know that in that time we had 1,740 new members register? This site is growing exponentially and that's just a small example of it.

DESTINY For those of you who have not seen it already, adamj004, of our site's News Group, who leads in all news Destiny, has been featured as a source on Oakley Hi-Def of The Halo Forge Epidemic's latest video on his thoughts and theories on Destiny. Yes that was all one sentence. Oakley makes his entire video on Adam's Seven Heavens Theory which is brilliant and he represents all of Adam's ideas very clearly and even adds in his own great connections that he found. I'm going to provide the video for you here just in case you weren't persuaded into clicking a link I would have given. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY7WY3k8x38 DGL The DGL will be taking a break for competitors who have midterms and other work coming up.

I want to show to you his map that he made for the Meet Your Maker Contest called Loading Dock. Here's what it looks like at both spawn points but with different colors: A great interior map made for competitive 4v4 play. Find skumm's post for his map with all screenshots here. NEW MODERATOR Well there's finally been a proper announcement thread posted for our newest Community Moderator RedStarRocket91! Not only was there a change in the Moderating Team, but there has also been a change in Moderating color. It went from this to this. Much easier on the eyes. Anyway, everyone MUST go congratulate RedStarRocket in his announcement thread here. NEW LEGENDARY MEMBER "In the pattern set by Spectral Jester about retired staff members who have given greatly to our community, Quantum has been added to the ranks of 'Legendary' members. Quantum joined us long ago simply searching for information about Halo. He had no XBL and just wanted to be part of the community of Halo and do what he could to help us be what we were, what we are. He, within days of joining, came forward and offered to create signatures for the site since EGYPTIANGHETTO had taken a leave of absence. He was working with simple art soft ware and doing a bang up job for us. He was liked by all who met him and soon became a well known and daily member of the site. He continued his membership and assistance for the community and soon rose to the Face Book page. I was a personal fan of his selfless desire to always help out, never wanting anything in return. He was a prime example of quality membership. His departure and reasons for it were an eye opener to some, a noted and growing feeling by others. I am happy to announce his inclusion into the ranks of Legendary members." All written in Absolute Dog's words himself. Why didn't I just provide a link? Because I couldn't say it better than Dog did and it would've dishonored this incredible member's rite of passage to the Legendary Member status. Congrats Quantum! If you want to congratulate him too then I will actually provide the link for you: CONGRATULATE HIM NOW. GAMING NEWS General Gaming News Wrap-up III was completed as a favor for Lil Dog.
