Down memory lane... yay!! — subtank 20:00, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Gah! I kept trying to figure out what that "something cool" was! Now, I should recall a memory... Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 20:05, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I consider my service period to be from August 3, 2007 to September 10, 2009. Still, it was fun while it lasted. Template:Sonasig

Not that I have ever been an active member on the site, but congrats on 7 years of Halopedia.--DavidShapiro 20:16, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

To think; seven years already. I've only been around for three of those, and here was me thinking that I had been here a while. Let us commemorate that our wonderful encyclopedia has stood the test of time and remained a ever-present source of information for Halo fans new and old.

There have been some ups and downs, and we've lost many an editor over the years, particularly during these dark times after our schism from Wikia. But, if you have remained, if you have held on through the storm, held dear the spirit of this wiki, and remain here editing to this day, then you can stand tall and say truly, "I am a Halopedian!"

Here's to another seven everyone! - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) 20:39, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I've been here only ten months, but I have gotten to know some pretty cool people. Happy Anniversary Halopedia!--Lt. Commander 光环的家伙1234 Talk (Contribs) (Edits) 21:03, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I can't remember when I "officially" joined and started working on Halopedia (but if someone could look at the logs for me would be great), but I must say I am exceedingly proud to be a Halopedian. I've been a die-hard fan and scholar of almost all things science fiction, and more specifically, Halo, ever since I got into it with my church youth group (with a little help from my uncle, who gave me a copy of Halo CE on CD for Mac). FYI, I think the same day I started working on Halopedia is the same day I simultaneously started working on the Halo Nation wikia (they kept changing the backgrounds of the original Halo works I did, which pissed me off). In any case, Happy Seventh Anniversary to everyone here! --Xamikaze330 21:04, 3 November 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330

According to this, you joined the site on March 20th.--Lt. Commander 光环的家伙1234 Talk (Contribs) (Edits) 21:10, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I remember whiling away dull study hours here, doing something productive with my time rather than just twiddling my thumbs. I still do. I've learned more through my interest in Halo (philosophy, science, human nature) than I ever did in Secondary School, and I really think I'd be a different person if I'd never found it. You guys were there to talk to, to bounce ideas off, to inspire, and to provide outlet for a passion for the game. We've had our low points, and they have been low - but when we reach our highs, we soar. I don't remember when I first came here, because I was reading articles here long before I officially created an account, but I know that I'll still be here long after the last Halo game is sitting on my shelf. Long live Halopedia: kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures, kings. -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 21:16, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Anyone want to try to find the first ever edit made by anyone on Halopedia?--Lt. Commander 光环的家伙1234 Talk (Contribs) (Edits) 21:33, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I have been on Halopedia since 2007, but actually became a member in late 2009... oh my god has it really been almost two years? My favorite memory? Well gosh, that's gotta be the time when Reach came out... which was only a year ago. Wow, time does fly. I bet you anything the first edit on Halopedia was made by Steve. The first one not made by Steve was likely vandalism. :D pestilence Phil, pestilence! 21:37, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

@Halofan1234 Found it! :D The first edit ever made to Halopedia... I think... Ιι Ηη Ππ 22:11, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Oh, I guess it was technically started on November 3rd. Whoops. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 01:25, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

My first edit was affected by a glitch. O.o 2 years, 2 months and 16 days in Halopedia, from a stupid gamer to a somewhat contributive editor. Possibly the most memorable in this time was that edit war with -Ascension- on the Flood (and, to be honest, to this very day I still think that trivia is noteworthy). CMoA in rollback request page. On Halopedia, I've learned new words, ideas, subjects, technics, and so many other things. So, thank you and Happy 7th Anniversary! :D —S331 _{(Tank beats Everything!)} 01:03, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

*claps* I'm not as active as I used to be, but I still love Halopedia. Specops306: I love how you would post thoughtful comments on my blog articles. I've been thinking about writing the article on Huragok you suggested but I'm still not quite sure what to say. I'm also glad that I got to meet RR through Halopedia, as we've had some great discussions. The CD machinima project was great even though we never made it past two scenes and never put out an episode. I love Halopedia! --Dragonclaws^(talk) 01:33, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Speaking of which, my favourite memories were reading the blogs people would post, on subjects ranging from canonical speculation, technical specifications, community discussion, reviews of novels and comics, and analyses of gender issues: the latter especially. There are some brilliant minds here, and I hope they go on to great things! -- Specops306 ^{Autocrat Qur'a 'Morhek} 05:52, 4 November 2011 (EDT)
