You must be thinking about how awesome that picture chrstphrbrnnn used to replace his avatar looks. I must inform you, sadly, that it is not his avatar. It belongs to a different person entirely. Cue the general forum, “Whaaaaaat!?” It is pretty strange seeing a face other than chrst's next to your site update, am I right? I’d tend to agree. Writing these and staying awake hours longer than I intended whilst burning the through night on a Dr. Pepper fueled rage may have much to do with it, but only time will tell. Time, and a secret video camera that I have hidden in your room to monitor and record all of the reactions! Ignore the Big Brother reference.

Welcome!

Once more we have the fabled Promotions section. You all wish to be in it, by the simple fact that it is a representation of your moving up in the world. That’s foolish you silly boy, because you would appear here if you were to be demoted as well. Speaking of silly boys, the most recent member to grace the Testers Guild Loyal rank, B3NW, has been trolling our forums for quite some time. Take the time to stop ignoring him, if only long enough to congratulate him on his success!

Don't be Hatin'

They aren’t all that bad, and in fact more often than not they end up helping the map maker in question with brilliant suggestions that cause them to instantly become forgers of immense skill. And not to mention they can make your day wonderful, if you just give them a chance (and a nearly flawless creation.) But then again, Alt Drei. Regardless of what you think about this very controversial group of individuals, they are always willing to accept new members if you pop on over to this thread.

Testers Guild, Version 2.0

The Testers Guild Members are a sporadic people, always willing to help and do whatever is necessary to improve the quality of your maps. It’s just so dang cool that they will give up their own life just for the sake of your map! Well, at the very least they give up several hours for it. If you’d like to stop on over to the Testers Guild to join, get your map tested, or just give them your thanks, you can always do that here. If you posted a map for review, and got lost when trying to find the feedback, I took something out of my own time to show you the way. I know, you love me.

Best of Forge - Take Two

You must have heard about this, if not it is a very good thing that you finally took the time to crawl out of the rock you have been so selfishly hiding under for the past month. Don't worry, you can blame the nasty smell of fish hanging in the air... unless that is me you smell, of course. Now while you debate how to handle that last comment, I'll continue talking about Best of Forge competition like nothing happened. Let's just say that it's a showdown of the biggest and baddest maps around, anything from the beginning of ForgeHub's past is game, and if that is not yet enough detail for you then consider checking out the original announcement. If you are ready for Round Two of voting, you will only have to wait until Monday!

Time to Go Dark?

The warm month of August is coming to an end. Those of us who have school, this month signals many more to come of tedium and work. Those of us with children; many months of listening to them complain about said tedium. I can’t say who has it worse, although I can say something; those of us who are paying any attention to Bungie.net will have noticed several comments hinting at Bungie’s plans to release a new game coming around the apex of next month, mid-September I would guess. Those of you who do not want it spoiled, it would be wise to avoid the Bungie forums as much as possible. Those of you who wish to spoil it; it would be wise to avoid the very forums you are in right now. ForgeHub tolerates leaked content about as much as a plumber tolerates leaked sewage. And they both are equally disgusting in my eyes.

Anyway, this short little misadventure of ours has come to an end. Until next time!
