Chances are this will never been seen, but thought I'd write it anyway.
Every once in awhile, I get thinking about the good old halo days and how I'd rate them as some of the most enjoyable of all my gaming years. One of the main reasons for this is becuase of the clans/communties that I was part of during those times, with {AB} being the largest and longest term of them all. I think it's amazing how this forum is still around now, and how just reading random posts brings back great memories of everyone I used to either talk to or play online with.
I'll never forget how I joined the clan, somehow managing to join bigbutts server even when on 56k, and living a ocean away. I was most likely warping around everywhere and being abit newbish, nowadays that just get you banned from a server, but no it got me invited! Most likely never got back into the server again for a week or more, but I was remembered from the previous games, and told off for not putting the {AB} tags on.
Well there it started, me as the 24th member of the clan, a clan which ended up lasting multiple years and hundreds of members.
Some members I really enjoyed having a game with (not in any particular order):
Bigbutt - kinda obvious, you may of been afk for 95% of any games I played in (mainly due to time difference) but you were always welcoming and always tried to encourage me to do extra(be admin on forum, take part in competitive games).
Fret - One guy i always looked up to, one of the most friendly guys you could meet. He oftern would spend a game just helping you improve your aim by standing on the spot strafing left and right for what seemed like ages. All excited when i saw his server online.
Cloud and Crow - two members who always were around to have a laugh when playing, never taking anything seriously, always made me stay up far to late playing halo.
Blondie - She was one of those crazy girls, one accidental team kill would spiral out to the entire team killing each other. I do miss her always greeting me with "go die", always made me smile.
Sabre - really friendly guy, one of those people you could just talk about anything random with, was also fun racing hogs around bloodgultch.
Dragon - very much like sabre, just a great guy. Always loved how he talked in 3rd person, with the bright orange text!
L!qu!d - she was another great person to play with, until she started acting ike blondie and her life goal became to teamkill me
Raven - Sadly due to your connection always cutting out our games were always short, but was always fun being in servers with you.
Freeze - Although you left, you always showed me alot of respect and was always around to talk. Was always good to see your server up!
Airbutt - he was one funny guy, always able to lower the tone of any conversation.
Rad - Always a laugh in game and here on the forum.
Topside - another great person to play with and have a chat with, until he vanished off to japan.
TazerRE - Another fun player to game with, think you were the last {AB} member I played online.
Of course there were many more I enjoyed playing with (Pratt,Sir,Leon,Verdi,Nike), but the few i listed were the highlight of my time in {AB}.
One of the sadest parts of looking through some of the old posts and seeing the names of users long gone is that I lost contact with basicaly everyone, sometimes I think it would be great if we could all just jump on halo to relive some of the games.
If anyone does happen to read this, feel free to add me on steam, my username: fordash
or go oldschool and email me fordash@hotmail.com
would be great to hear from anyone still silly enough to remember this forum exists
But yea, hope anyone reading this takes alook at some old posts, remember the good times!
Have a good one,
{AB}Tom.
