Hello and welcome to my userpage. I'm not much for introductions, so I guess this makes it kind of pointless. I will, however, indulge you, seeing as how you're here anyway.
To the left, you'll see a small list of wiki-related sites that I have been a part of. The ones that I'm currently active on are linked to my corresponding userpage(s).

History

I joined Halopedia in 2007. I don't recall the specific date, but the month of February keeps coming to mind. Anyway, it was around the release of Halo 3 that I really started to use this site. I pretty much edited articles here and there, as well as creating a few of them. As time passed, I eventually made a name for myself -I was banned. The reasons were justifiable, but controversial. Long story short, I was branded a "point-whore" after editing multiple articles within a short amount of time. It wasn't a big deal anyway, Admins. vouched for me, rules were re-written and established, and my ban was shortened. Nevertheless my reputation was sealed. This eventually disqualified me to become a Halopedian Administrator two years later, but that's another story.
After that small episode, I steadily climbed my way up to the top. Through the months (and later years), I had become a noted user against vandalism. My ambitious nature, together with the ridiculous amount of time that I had to the site, eventually led me to achieve my rollback 'rights'. Constant time spent amongst my cyber-group of buddies on the internet relay-chat (IRC) also gave me the experience to become a Low-level Operator on #halopedia as well.
Things started to slow down, as do all things. By the time Halo: Reach was released, it was made abundantly clear that my time here was coming to an end. My edit count went from per day to per week, to eventually per month. The very few people that I'd established friendships with were either moving on or had ceased to communicate. The nostalgia of signing in almost everyday was becoming more apparently obvious to me that my "nerd-om" has expired. After graduating high school, college basically swiped the floor clean of all the "free" time that I had. I basically ceased to exist on here.
Until recently, when things finally settled into place once more, I'd occasionally Login to see whats up. I might edit one or two articles, but not much. As of now my activity is very much below the radar.

My name is Josh and I live in the United States. I'm currently enrolled in college. As of now, my current interest is computers (networking to be exact) as well as law enforcement. I'm an avid gamer and would pretty much play anything to my taste, which is varied, so I won't go into detail. Right now, I only own an Xbox 360, though I previously had a Playstation 3, but that infamous black-out for three months prompted me to slowly lose interest. I eventually would like to get a personal gaming computer, seeing as how my current PC can't handle today's game requirements.

| I've been a fan of Halo ever since the first game, Combat Evolved, was released for the original Xbox console. At that time I didn't have an Xbox of my own, so I usually played at my uncles house who owned one and had gotten Halo and Halo 2. That was limited however, and after moving away, Halo became a memory.
I eventually bought myself an Xbox when Microsoft released the newer, second-generation Xbox 360. With Halo 3's release just around the corner, I bought myself a copy of Halo 1 & 2 to relieve those awesome memories as a kid. It was at this point I signed up for Xbox Live, where I played Halo 2 pretty much non-stop months before Halo 3 came out. That and Star Wars: Republic Commando (Woo!)
After purchasing Halo 3, my fan-hood was sealed. Completing levels on Legendary, playing multiplayer matches late into the night, and "Halo Parties" that brought together competitive camaraderie amongst my peer group became the stuff of legend, at least in my digital life, ha.
