There were three topics today in The Underground that got close to flame wars, one of them got pretty hot for a few minutes. It was sucessfully squelched just in the nick of time. I really couldn't figure out who I should contact, I hadn't a clue as to which mod was on at the time. I really think it's high time for everyone to return to The Underground, because if you wait, it'll only get worse as the new people get to know each other before they get to know the older members. This would be bad because we need to brainwash them to our way of doing things; clean and relevant. Someone posted a real winning thread, complete with gteat speculation, and they got flamed almost immediately. Since we only have 3 mods, and Bungie employees are too busy too often, the mature members need to return and force a change instead of waiting for it to come about on its own.

I think that everyone especaily the older members need to just take a step back and think about a couple of things. 1. Why did you join the 7th column in the first place. 2. If someone goes off randomly about somthing pertinent or not, will it effect your continued posting to this forum. 3. If you see a post like that in the first place should you take affense to it. I don't post very often but I have been reading for a while now, and I can see that there is a network of older members that discuss things in a friendly manner and that all of you know each other fairly well. It is apparent that there is going to be a very large influx of members to the 7th column becaus of E3, and Halo 2. It will take those people a while to get their bearings straight. Until then I there will be misplaced redundant topics, the occasoinal lunitic, and lets face it just some ignorant people. (I Don't claim not to be these) I think that you should continue to do your best to keep the exsting atmosphere that you have devloped here, to trust you mods to do their jobs, which they do fine, and just don't pay atention to those new people who choose to say such stupid things.
