Popular Post Spectral Jester Posted June 27, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Well its been 1 year on the 343i.org forums for myself, and what have I seen over the last 12 months? Well Ive seen spambots try to take over the forums, if I ever see another advert for Louis Vitton purses again it will be too soon I can remember joining and basically being the only person from UK who was on the forums, so when I was on, everybody else was in bed, I spent my early couple of days posting away happily, reporting the spam, then after a couple of days I thought, Hey I could help here. So I decided to ask Twam if I could help out, the answer was Yes, I was Blue, a Community Moderator, yippee, I eagerly went around tidying the forums, whilst the US members slept the night away, so it was nice and tidy when they all woke up. The forum grew, with that the new skin we see now was brought in, the shoutbox was implemented, something I thought was a bad idea at the time (how wrong I was lol). Still the forum grew, around December time, Twam saw fit to promote me to orange, a moderator again I thought yippee. Now the forum is a beast, a living breathing Community, thats right a community! the word forum is undeserving of this place, its a Community, where people interact, play xbox together, talk on skype etc. Oh how things have changed. Now we have a Facebook page, a Twitter, a YouTube channel, didnt expect that when I joined 12 months ago. When I come home from work, my wife doesnt ask me how was work, she asks me how is the forum today? She knows you all (honestly she does) Memories of the last 12 months, well members have come and gone, but the cream of the membership have stayed. Im not doing thanks to anyone in particular, instead I Thank all of you for making this place the special and unique place it is. The job as a moderator / admin / staff can sometimes be a thankful task, but you, all of you make it interesting and fun, even when your being naughty.......... Anyway roll on another year, with Halo 4 not too long away, we will see the membership increase, and after 6th November? well we will have the Halo 4 wars. Right last bit, sorry its TL;DR, actually no I'm not. Thanks (said I wouldnt do it, but why not lol) Firstly Twam, putting faith in me 12 months ago to take up the role of Community Moderator when I had been a member for 2/3 days, countless pm's, and recently a person, no friend to unload my troubles on. We've never met Twam, but you are a true friend. Absolute Dog, why oh why did you leave, my partner in crime, and again someone I consider a true friend, I still have yet to catch you online on XBL. So much to catch up on, I hope you are well, and I will speak to you soon, even if I have to stay up all night. The Director - (AAN2) remembers the spam war, and was like a member of Jesters Army reporting them. it certianly kept us busy Donut ./ Azaxx - The shoutbox kings, when all around us is quiet, these 2 kept the shoutbox going at all times, Im guessing Donut has a headset now, as dont see that many shouts from him now. Azaxx your persistence and determination to keep shouting away, to revive the shoutbox at quiet times is hilarious, you sir deserve a medal Choot'Em - The calming influence, when all around us is going to hell, Choot is there as the relaxing karma, every forum / community should have a Choot. Twinreaper - My oh My where to start, the brains behind Halo, we ask for it, he tells us we cant have it and explains why. Or as Twin would say ******** no way ********* you ****** cant ********** do that, because its ********* not possible. Vitamin / Fire / One - The heart and soul of the moderating team - the good guys of the moderating team, dont take these 3 for granted, they do so much, and bring so much to the forum. Community Staff - You guys rock, with news group, facebook, youtube, art department, events co-ordinator, you help make the forum a community, hence the community part of the staff. they do so much and ask for very little, even Theorix NOVA - Has been here since the forums began, Im sure he is part of the program and still green as well. Ms. Mystic - who single handed is keeping the moderators in a job, with her reports, beware if you post a one word reply Mystic will be on you. Mystic is the True Forum Defender, and the person who I was thinking about when I created that award Archangel Tyrael - The ultimate newshound, scours the internet for news to bring to the community, to the point where, you dont have to do anywhere else to be up to date on xbox news. Last but by no means least - To You All, Keep doing what you are doing, whether it be fun or against the forum rules, for YOU make this place what it is Jester over and out 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you are definitely one of them, and that only shows good things because it means that you have done great things here and treated people with respect. And seeing that you started as just a member and eventually made it to be a moderator, I must stay you have done well sir. And you are an inspiration to us all. I am glad to see that you are here after all this time, and that I can look up to you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choot 'em Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 First and foremost..... CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have made it an entire year here! You have been here since the beginning Jester and have helped make this place a grand place to be. From your witty posts with the unique insight of the experienced gamer to the "hammer-down" tough mod that this place so desperately needs and everything in between. You have always taken the time to answer questions about the site no matter how mundane or simplistic they were, or moving topics that were wrongly placed out of impulse and not thought through. You have listened as a friend and understood the "lack of better judgement" decisions that I have made. It was at that point that I knew this site was truly different. You have brought personality to 343i.org and continue everday making it an easy decision to return frequently for updates. Being a fellow member of the staff was truly an honor, not because of the status but because you were a teammate. I haven't been around as much as I would like to be as of late but when I do drop by, I know you're there watching. Protecting this place from being tainted by trolls and spammers and always looking out for fellow members. I realise what you do here is mostly a thankless job but it deserves recognition for the sacrafices you make to invest your time here. So...... Continue being Jester and God Bless!! - Choot PS - Thanks for the mention.....and who knows.....maybe on some distant forum there is a Choot there, lmao! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
