September 10, 2010 Hello Forgehub, it's been a while. I'm sorry I've been gone so long, I've missed you ever so much. Let me hang-up my jacket, take off my shoes, and we'll get this show on the road. Welcome back to the Gray Update! We've been on quite the hiatus, but with the imminent update in activity sure to come with Halo: REACH, I've decided to jump start these articles again. That's right Hubbers, it's just around the corner. Prepare to watch your guardian angle, your ancient love, your best friend Halo 3 be laid to rest, and like a glorious phoenix rise from it's own ashes in the form of Halo: REACH. For now enjoy the lull in the waves of activity, but prepare to ride the waves of new members and spam once REACH is kick started. Theatrics and fancy wordplay by yours truly aside, let's get this **** started. Promotions/Demotions Since there have been quite a few rank changes since last I posted one of these, we'll just quickly highlight some of the more important (at least in my incredibly bias point of view) rank changes. We must all bid a fond farewell to our good friend, Black Theorem, as he quickly ascends through the ranks at a break-neck pace, steadily separating himself from us. On a more positive note, we get to welcome back a well known member, Agamer! Having decided the corrupt and evil world of the Forgehub Management is just too much for him to handle, Agamer has renounced his position to return home. Be sure to thank him for all the work he's done. Alongside all the new adjustments in preparation for REACH, we must all stand in awe of the great and terrifying cataclysm that has taken place. The loyal rank as been retired. Cue dramatic music, fainting lady, etc, etc. One would think this would be strictly a joyous time, filled with loved ones once again rejoining the ranks of the norm, but our satisfaction has once again been tainted. The rank hasn't been completely destroyed, it has only been remodeled, stealing member after member away from us into the new rank, based either on work in the Review Hub, or playing a few halo games for the Testers Guild. Not only that, but these two ranks have been pitted against one another for the amusement of our overlords, forced to fight, bicker, and hate each other for no reason. The TG members taking up their positions are CombatGam3r, Benji, LD, Loscocco, Nibs, and Spawn of Saltine. And rising to face them against the odds are the silent guardians of the RH, Bloo Jay, Organite, and RedNeck. Remember to watch out for this titanic battle, kids, and bid them all a found farewell. Graphics Spotlight "Halo: Reach Weapon Icon Signatures" This somewhat simplistic idea has recently caught fire and ran with it around the forum, drawing people in. VI AMAC XXI runs the most active shop in the Gna, recoloring and adding text to these entertaining little signatures. I'd also like to throw a quick shout out to Agamer for his Wallpaper pack. I know it's old, but it's truly and amazing feet for one person to accomplish, and he deserves to be recognized for it. The thread can be found here. This is definitely worth the download, with over a thousand images there has to be a background for anyone. Forgehub's Fail Of The Month This award undoubtedly goes to scotti fing R. Imagine this scenario if you will: You're a troll. You're bored, and prowling through forge hub just doesn't seem to do it for you anymore, there's never enough bait to make it worth taking. But wait; what is this? Someone has created a new thread in OT, asking for female advice! As you can clearly see, this is the perfect example of a Troll Bait thread. In the original post scotti highlights the fact that he needs some advice on babes, more specifically, getting and keeping them. What a perfectly logical idea! Ask an internet forum full of teenage males advice on women! What could possibly go wrong. As you may have guessed, the feeding frenzy of hungry shark-troll hybrids quickly descended on the thread, with some of the best quotes outlined below. Spoiler Thank you scotti, thank you ever so much for supplying our lulz, we would be lost without threads like yours. Then we'd have to do something constructive with our time, like get girlfriends! That's a Wrap, 4chub Well, all good things must come to and end friend, and this update is no different. With the imminent death of Halo right around the corner, and the rise of REACH coming as well, new activity should be flooding in. But until such a time, take it easy until you have to ride the wave of new members and activity. Catcha' on the flip-side guys! -Your friendly neighborhood RST
You should've asked someone to edit the post before you posted it. couple spelling/grammar problems here and there.
This is where I posted it to be edited broski. If I had officially posted it it would be in its own thread.
