I actually hunted down Triblox trying to hoard OWaW sprites, like mooface. I still had dial up at the time and had to wait upwards of 10-15 minutes for some of the big pages to load, it was awesome seeing the page slowly descend and watching a new awesome sprite appear.

Shit, I remember Dominik... Honkey was crazy...


I also remembered on HS, I broke the forum twice...

In one comic, a very shitty comic, the page streched sideways, and Torrent took a screenshot...

Anoter time, I apparently did what Appo done before and my sig became a strecth of HTML code... I couldn't remove it as it broke pages, the Admins had to manually remove it from the ACP... All because I did something I'm not telling you gimps because one of you is down enough to attempt to replicate it...
Yeah i remember the name, don't remember much of what dominick did though.

And holy crap I remember that crazy code stuff. Shit was banununus.

@Moo: We all love it when you post dumb stuff. Don't ever stop, cuz you're fuckin awesome. And speaking of fuckin, how dare Choco not call you back. I would've ;)

Call me Mik

Alright, bros. I'm finally getting down to this. I had to not take medication for the later half of the day to be able to remember all this, so bear with me if it's off.

Halosprites.

I too came to HaloSprites looking for... Halo Sprites. I had used the same size sprites as Halo Zero, the really really large size sprites for a halo game, and they were just really, really big. I found the old rayg sprites elsewhere, but I had heard about the RHCP and came looking for those.

I finally was able to attain the amount of posts to see the RHCP, but then :O Rayg showed up with the New-Rayg style. That was freaking cool. So I started trying to sprite.

I also bugged Appo like hell to let me be on the OWaW team, cause I was 10/11-year old BAWS with very minimal GML skills.


Triblox

HaloSprites was dying when the original Blue forum run by Torrent came around. I stuck around for a little bit, still attempting to sprite, but I didn't stick around for long. There was a reasonable gap in time where I was gone, a year or two, but I came back right before .org.

In my return before the .org, I started spriting a lot more and started those god awful battlefront sprites. Every month I'd have gotten so much better, I felt like I needed to redo everything.


Triblox.Org

.Org started and I was like the 8th member to sign up. I was so proud, to be one of the first members of a new community. I kept spriting the battlefront sprites, and like I said earlier, I felt like I needed to redo them every time I'd complete a chunk.

I left the Tri community for a while, I worked for a short ammount of time on the Halo Zero staff, and I left that, I stayed off of the forum part of the internet for another year or two.

I came back, did some more sprites and then left for a few years again. I was on MSN one day when sparkie told me that a certain forum was being revived...


New Halo Sprites

I joined HaloSprites as quick as Sparkie told me about them, though apparently I was a month or so late. I posted all my old work, and some of my new work, dealing with a certain small skeleton named Skeli. He was in all my art and I needed a place to flesh out a back story.

R1LL needed a larger staff with the community growing, so I joined A51 in being the first group of moderators.

When R1LL remade the forums to include featured projects, In Extremis was moved over there, and now we're where we are now!

Because Dempsey ordered asked Tyrannosaurus to, here's my story.

Triblox.org
My adventure that led me to the triblox.org started when an Arabian Night came to a different forum and showed some sprite images he made using pieces of the NRE sprites. I inquired as to the origin of the images and he gave me a scroll, which after careful study and a bright light pointed me to the triblox.org site. Of course, I signed up, but before I could really gain access to the forum's magical treasures, I had to fight a whole bunch of Ginger African Pirate Ninja Zombie Mormons (due to them always saying Ted, I assume that they were all named Ted). I must have succeeded because they were bloated and fell over. Despite me initial shyness and being a little creeped out by some of the behavior of some members (Torrent for example) After that, I made two poor comic series and than an announcement was made that the Triblox forum then was being replaced by the one that is currently functioning. I learned Jake the Tank posted fury porn, but I was too late to see the havoc, for the forum closed.

Current Triblox
Having learned some of the lessons, I began my quest with starting a new comic series, which must have gained some of the respect of other members and that was when I began spriting. It wasn't much, but I remember many things, like how one guy claimed he was from a gaming forum who wanted to sell OWaW but everyone called his bluff till he ran away and we (the triblox community and the forum whom he claimed to represent) had a good laugh.

Previous HSF
During the early days of the new Triblox, R1LL sent me a pm saying, "I'm reviving HSF, come join." Being curious, I decided to join. About two weeks later, he closes that forum for good, which pissed me off because I was still finding goodies. WTF R1LL?!?

This HSF
Few months after R1LL closed the old HSF, I get another pm from him saying, "I made a new HSF, come join." I put on my walking shoes and I did what any gentleman would do...I came to this town riding my pet Tyrannosaurus and sang "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" and all the hot girls sang praises to me. Ever since, my comic making slowed a bit, but I am progressing in spriting (slow but steady)

Xbox LIVE
My brother recently got a 360 slim, I had a job, I wanted to play. It wasn't until the new HSF did I learn some of the gamer tags of some members and AK was starting P7. I was interested, especially when he said he could use some help. I decided to join and over time, I came to be accepted into this odd, but very interesting community.

Before I ever joined triblox ( Yes I joined triblox , mystery solved for real now ! ) I was a ( and still ) retard why ? I don ' t fucking know I ' m an idiot !

I joined french forums but it seems like there was that stupid cultural thing that no one would tell you what you are doing wrong and there was obsessed people by perfection . I am human .


The first english forum I joined was shit too .


When I joined triblox , I learned a lot about myself , I was arrogant and my asocial manners were my doom . I also learned a lot about spriting there .
Briefly I was so much the bad guy I am ashamed of what I have done there , really , it was stupid .


I now give myself a second chance , I think I have a lot changed and I have a lots of projects for you guys .

Rill likes to Add-men

Orange for the memory recall. Honestly I started as such a shady person. I remember looking for Halo 2 Sprites like in 2009 like a tard. I learned of Halo Sprites Forums but didn't join. Once I did finally grow the balls to join it was back when the Blue/Grey HSF was up. However I completely forgot all my registration info like twice. So I gave up on that. Then I kinda gave up on the Internet.

[Trexking and Triblox]
I was on dA one day looking for none other than Halo Sprites to hoard when all of a sudden I found a guy named Trexking and the awesome NRE styled ODSTs. One of his descriptions lead to the first Triblox. I joined and was actually active for once. I remember it was red and there were blogs instead of topics. I was pretty estatic to find even more Sprites. I became so inspired I attempted creating my own work. A lot of it fucking horrible. So fucking horrible. Then I met Dempsey... Oh god I remember I got in an argument with him. I don't remember what about in particular but I got so mad I left for like a week.
When I came back I had wisened up a bit and continued to work on spriting. I also tinkered with incomplete crappy comics.

[Orange Text]
I remember seeing on of the admins posting in a color and I thought: "Whoa! I want a color!" I chose orange because it went with the dark.

[Triblox.org]
I remember when it started up I kept all my old post count and gained a rank. At first I was like...WTF. I miss the old Tri but I soon grew to love it. Then I played the demos, I thought they were so freaking cool that I had been inspired to further create crappy sprites(they were slowly getting better though). Pretty much nothing really big happened. From now to then too much. At one point I began to worship the OWaW team as the best fuckin dudes ever. I started to make edits for the NRE, following suit to all the other people who had done so. Then Halo Reach was announced. I remember I started to Sprite edits for Halo Reach shortly after the beta. I guess that's when I started getting better. As I got more praise for these edits I slowly became more confident in myself. Self confidence was a big problem for me, it still is. I always turn to other people who I can improve. I can't really make a decision without feeling content without another persons input. After more and more updates of the Halo Reach Edits other members started doing so. The one I can say who worked on it the most with me was The Mexican. I then dubbed it the Halo Reach Kit.
Then one day Appo commented on my work. I don't know what he said but it meant a lot to me. A guy I worshiped as a God had said something about my work. From that moment forward I have considered Appo as my mentor of sorts. I remember I used to bug him about stupid stuff. I had still continued to work on the HRK getting better and better at spiriting. Then KP left...
I was pretty sad and thought it was the end of OWaW. I started to not go to the forums as much, I thought OWaW was dying, 'twas not the case. I don't know how many times KP has left (more than 3) and Appo left once and that crushed me. I stopped working on the HRK till he came back from heavy college stuff.

[A51]
I remember this guy, jojosmo and a few others used to call me A51. (jojosmo called me A52) I was called that so much I accepted it and eventually asked for a name change from Spartan-A51 to A51. That's how I got this name.

[Mik and the SWBF kit]
I met Mik when he PM'd me asking if I was interested in working on the SWBF sprites. I said yes and pretty much became his work slave.(twas good though) lots of practice. Eventually school happened and we stopped talking. So I stopped working on the SWBF kit.

[dA Thieves, forumwide beatdown]
I remember around this time some member had stolen some sprites and went all over dA claiming them as his. One of them was shino, another was his friend, there was another guy too forgot who. The entire forum went to dA and got them all banned, (temporarily though). Shino came back and tried to apologize we didn't believe him but skeptically "forgave" him, we kept a close eye on him.

[Cannibalism]
I honestly don't remember how that happened but I was joking around about eating a new member and it stuck. Sone of it got pretty descriptive. Somehow that made me friends, I was glad. I always felt like my only real contact with people was when I published semi crap edits.

Then came the TB playdate. I got together with KWD and had a plan fir this really awesome playdate. It had most of the TB members who were active and a few drop-ins. Competition was fierce and fun.

[New HSF]
Soon Rill came and posted some topic about HSF he was such a polite gentleman, not wanting to break the no advertising rule. I followed his link out of curiosity and joined. I made it my goal(which I've given up on) to catch rill and pass his post count. It only happened for like an hour before he posted more rules and news. Then as more people joined I completed the HRK I was stoked. I felt like a part of my life had been completed. Then as this was accomplished I had already been Promoted to Mod and Shino has started to become problematic again. I honestly hoped he straightened himself out. And for a moment I thought he could...he didn't. I was disappointed in him at the least. He did have potential. Just he stole too much. By this time Appo and I had become buddies, every once and awhile I'd help him out and get some tips and feedback from him on my works in progress. It's really helped my spiriting. I end up missing the HSF playdate but it all turns out alright in the end. You guys are still here. That's all that matters.

God I remember I was such a whiny bitch when I first joined Tribloc, such a damn attention whore. I'm embarrassed of my behavior...

I remember when you were spartan-A51; it actually coloured my first impression of you because in my previous experience people who had a username with "spartan-etc" were generally terrible.
I've often considered changing my name to just Herbert, but inertia has me in it's grip.
