I thought it couldn't get any worse.
New Mombasa has steadily been taken over with threads about piracy. The acts are getting worse as well, as people are posting story spoilers, rumors or even blatant lies. It's ignorance pure and simple. I love Bungie -- and I love most of you guys in here. But I'm going to take a break.
I want you guys to know that I will show up here once in a while to check on the status of you people - as I am interested in the continued plight of the Septagon.
There are a few joining -- and I want to post this to let Bungie.net know that we are true fans - and that's why we must go.
Thank you -- See you in a couple days to a few weeks!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Recon Number 54 I recall that around the time of the mods being issued their cool new loaded bat-utility belts, that someone (I think that it might have been Shishka) warned of an upcoming "Zero-Tolerance" policy. I don't know if it was followed, or the recent calm and order on the forums was a result of the warning or actions based on that policy.[/quote] A surprise gift for you: [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=829516]Shishka's Leak FAQ[/url] and it's even guaranteed spoiler-free. Unless you consider it a spoiler knowing that posting or offering to post links to leaked material will get you PERMANENTLY BANNED from linking your gamertag to bungie.net. Plus permanent banning from the forums. Go Team Ninja! Nuke. Pave. Lather. Rinse. Repeat as necessary. [quote]I know that I joke around a lot, but to me, this is serious stuff. We fans depend on Bungie and Bungie in turn does a lot for us. Bungie deserves to know that they can count on their fans as well.[/quote] And they can. There are teams of fans working to track down offers of pirated material and send the appropriate links to piracy@microsoft.com. I thank them for taking the hit for the rest of us fans, as I thank the admins for doing the thankless job of keeping spoilers and warez out of the forums. You make me proud, guys. -- Steve'll stick it out for a while, but is extremely wary of opening anything dealing with Halo 2 right now. [Edited on 10/14/2004 8:50:04 PM]
