Early History
Foman's hobby, video gaming, led him to Bungie after the release of Halo: Combat Evolved and he soon thereafter found Bungie.net. Lurking and reading the Bungie forums for over three years, Foman finally created an account on June 12, 2006.
Summer 2006 through Spring 2007
Foman began posting frequently in the Halo 2 and Optimatch forums, and, when Bungie.net's Halo 3 Forum went live, Foman quickly migrated to it. Joining in the speculation, ideas, and theories located there,
The Guide
Foman became very involved in the Bungie Community. In the winter of 2006, he discovered The Guide, a Chapter on Bungie.net devoted to archiving information about the Seventh Column, reviewing Groups, and interviewing notable Bungie Community members such as moderators, chapter founders, and forum regulars. Foman interviewed dozens of Forum Ninjas, chapter founders, and community members, as well as conducting several chapter reviews.
Until its unexplained deletion in mid-2009 under unknown circumstances, Foman retained his role as Senior Editor of The Guide.
Bungiepedia
After BL4H00G4N4 created the Bungiepedia Wikia, Foman became interested and created dozens of articles about Bungie. After BL4H00G4N4 realized that he had other time commitments and could not devote much time to Bungiepedia, he gave Bureaucrat and Administrator rights to Foman.
Foman created an all-new Main Page while continuing to write and update articles and moderate Bungiepedia's content. More recently, however, Foman has lessened his time on Bungiepedia due to having less time available between real-life work and his duties as a Master Forum Ninja on Bungie.net.
CompoundIntelligence
A few hours after AdjutantReflex posted for the first time on Bungie.net, Foman and WhiteRaven119 had a conversation via MSN Messenger during which Foman noted the amount of spam in the Halo 3 Forum created by AdjutantReflex's post. Foman and WhiteRaven quickly hatched the idea of creating a group dedicated to AdjutantReflex discussion in order to alleviate some of the Halo 3 Forum's spam. Naming the group CompoundIntelligence after the security role of the mysterious AdjutantReflex, Foman did the honors of creating the group and setting up its basic format.
Added by Foman123CompoundIntelligence quickly became known as best possible place to go for up-to-the-minute information and discussion of the Halo 3 Viral Marketing Campaign, code-named "Iris." CompoundIntelligence's forum was the place where the vast majority of Iris discoveries were made during the entire three-month course of the game.
During Iris, Foman was involved in communicating and coordinating with the leaders of several other forums and websites devoted to the VMC. Because of this involvement, in addition to his receiving of several private messages from AdjutantReflex, Foman began to receive dozens and sometimes hundreds of private messages on Bungie.net per day. Because the number of private messages was so overwhelming, Foman was unable to respond to all of them, thus causing some members to post theories speculating that Foman was either a Bungie employee or otherwise involved in the Iris ARG, despite his repeated insistence that he was not.
Added by Foman123Recent History
After the conclusion of Iris, Foman settled back into his familiar role, posting frequently in the Community forum, making silly pictures, talking with his Bungie.net colleagues and friends, and happily participating in groups and Bungiepedia.
Foman was invited to become a Forum Ninja on March 4, 2008.
On 9/24/2008 Foman was promoted to Master Forum Ninja.
Foman also administers Destinypedia, the Wiki for Bungie's new project "Destiny".
He is still a daily active member on Bungie.net, and is easily reachable via private message there or through his user talk page here on Bungiepedia.
