Hey there H*bad, nice to hear from you. I can relate exactly to your words when you say "displeasure of high school". I believe I was 14 years old when I joined Halo Fanon, just a couple months after beginning my first year of high school. Funny how being here has been with me for those four years of my life, and although my high school life got better in the latter half, I'm glad I was able to discover Halo Fanon when it was still a new wiki. It really was something to watch it grow, grow with it, and now preside as an administrator here. I must say I was really surprised at the good friends I was able to make on Halo Fanon, considering that I haven't even met any of them in real life. Others can say what they will about my sentiment, but I think it really does mean something when you can talk so closely to people in other parts of the world in more ways than the usual expected means of communication on the internet. With a many great users here, I've shared laughs, mentored in writing, exchanged personal stories, fought bitter arguments, later reconciled with, acted as a confidant when they were unsure of themselves, and of course, created entire new worlds from nothing but our collective imagination. Sometimes I can't believe it's been four and a half years since I joined this wiki, and at the time I never would have guessed I'd still be here. I can't say exactly how long I'll stay, but it will definitely be quite a while, and as long as I'm here, I will do my best to take care of the community and the fanon we've all been so proud of building from the ground up.
