: Out of curiosity, I decided to do a search to see when I made my first post
: to the Story Forum. It was on November 30, 2001, scarcely more than 6
: months after the forum opened. For what it's worth, it was a reply to a
: thread about which of the 3 Marathon games was the best (sound familiar?).
: What caught my eye was the number posts archived in the pre-2004 data
: base. That's right, 777! I figured this must somehow be rigged, like the
: counter on the Story's main page. But no, I tried searching under a number
: of names, and mine was the only one with 777. That's just to weird.
Something similar happened to me over on the Asylum at Myth@Bungie.Org. I adopted the "Forrest of B.org" moniker when I got my @bungie.org address, full FTP access to the server, and admin privs on the forums. So I started using "Forrest of B.org" instead of just plain old "Forrest". Years later I was tallying up post totals when some people were competing to see who had had the most posts, and discovered that I had stopped using "Forrest" at exactly 777 posts. Creepy.
