In the summer of | In the summer of 2004, a series of posts concerning ''[[Halo 2]]''<nowiki/>'s secretive multiplayer beta appeared on a forum called Nightly Net.<ref name="aj:About_Us"/><ref>[http://forums.nightly.net/topic/31419-halo-2/page__st__200 '''Nightly Net:''' ''Halo 2 Thread'']<div style="margin-left:2em">This is the thread referenced in Ascendant Justice's "About Us" page.</div></ref> These posts prompted a group of ''Halo'' fans to create a community called Ascendant Justice. When ''[[Halo 3]]'' information began to surface, several members of this community contributed to the Halo 3 Data Archive, which at the time was the most expansive collaboration of ''Halo 3'' information and speculative discussion. The site has since disbanded, though the forum community is still alive and well.<ref>[http://digg.com/gaming_news/H3DA_Halo_3_Data_Archive '''Digg:''' ''H3DA: Halo 3 Data Archive'']<div style="margin-left:2em">The link on this Digg entry is non-functional but would seem to indicate that at one time (possibly for the entirety of its existence), the Halo 3 Data Archive was hosted on Ascendant Justice's website.</div></ref> | ||
