What's up Hubbers? I'll tell you what's up, another bi-weekly update from your lovable FH staff. You love us, right? RIGHT?!! Yeh, that's what I thought. Punks. I mean.. er.. anyway, were short on Promotions and Demotions this week, but we do have some other small news pieces as well as some recaps to highlight some things you may have missed out on in the last week or so. So sit back, relax (keep your shoes on.. your feet stink) and give this a good once or twice over then get back to forging.
Friday Night Fight
Well, Forge Hub finally fought fellow forging fiends from XForgery, and quite frankly, them up! Just kidding guys <3 This marked the first return of our Friday Night Fight-styled community matches, and this friendly bout was nothing short of a blast! Big thanks to XF for participating. Thanks for the great games! Make sure you check out the recap here in case you missed it.
TGIF 50
This week will mark the Golden Anniversary of Forge Hub's TGIF. That's right, 50 TGIF's soon to be under our belt now! That's an incredible feat, and the community is to thank. Without you guys (and the occasional gal), TGIF, or this place, wouldn't be the same. So come join us and celebrate this momentous occasion in FH history!
Forge Hub Favorites
Don't you want to be heard? Head on over to the FHF voting thread and help fellow community members choose what maps will ultimately comprise our next set of Forge Hub Favorites! You have until Midnight EST on Friday the 19th to get your votes in, so hustle up, Hubbers! Check it all out here.
Once More Unto the Breach
Im going to assume pretty much all of you have already seen Bungie's latest ViDoc for their upcoming Halo: Reach, but hey, it's epic enough to watch it once more, right? Or hell, even twice, thrice, or ten times more! I know I did. You can check out the official Bungie news story here. Now head on over to our new Halo: Reach Discussion sub-forum to let us know about that super cool little tidbit you saw that no one else did, or just to chop up some Reach with your fellow Halo fanatics.

Wonders of the World Results
Well our Wonders of the World Contest is all over and done with, but we thought we'd revisit a couple of the top finishers and highlight their maps once more. If you haven't seen these beauties, make sure you check them out now, congratulate them, and give 'em a download to really see just how masterful they are. Great job to everyone who participated, and thanks for making this a successful competition! Check out the full story here.
