The biggest "Glory Days" I can remember would be back between the time just before I started modding when I used to play in The Island servers with some of the people who are still around here and the time when I released Legacy and The Collective began. During this time Myself, TaxiService, Moxus, Mota, Zapconquest, Neko, Depp, Fonzie, Brimstone, Draconic, Pickoff, Andor, and probably some others I can't think of off the top of my head, were beginning to develop Halo modding into something big. We pushed things to the limits and cranked out at least 1 or 2 mods a week. There wasn't a single day that would go by that you couldn't find a new mod release topic, or several, sitting on the first page in the Halo Demo section. Nowadays, you're lucky if you go through 2 pages of that section and find a single release topic.

These were the "Glory Days," and I remember it was Brimstone's vision of preserving those Glory Days that caused him to create The Collective, to join together those modders who knew what we were doing. A shame that vision has not gone so far as we had hoped.

I would say lack of output, and lack of respect between modders. Lack of interest though is what caused some of our greater modders to leave, however, or to quit modding at least but still lurk around.

You cannot say that since you don't know much of the internet.

And, now this is where that "respect" thing I mentioned comes in. That goes for both of you.

Those days happened when almost everyone here was of about the same age, modding was much more primitive, and everyone was striving to find the next big thing. Now there are a lot of regular posters here, with many different ages and interests. [/color]
I'd say the best days were last summer. ;) When Kayar, Fuel, etc. were rolling out many mods, I was learning and out to prove I could outdo any current modder.
Then of course SwordEdit was in development and slowly improved and was released. Then QAR rolled out and later Eschaton 0.7. What a year in modding...
