You don't try to make anything better. In fact, your actually trying to make it worse! It doesn't matter if you have been at any other forums. At all. Oh. You might be a little more familliar with the rules and such, but that's it. Don't think that just because you've been sitting around with nothing better to do but post on forums for years and years at a time, you should be more educated in the Bungie.net forums then a regualr forum user like me, or even someone who has only been her for a month! Tanikaze being a perfect example. Everyone here knows that the forums are a mess. It's said all the time. I never said that they werent. But it isn't going to be any better if all people do is -blam!- about how much people here -blam!-. And [i]you[/i] damn well know that.

Well Nephus. It's mainly the infamous New Mombasa that's like that, sure The Flood has a few idiots here and there, but it's pretty tame for the most part.

Thanks I"ll keep that in mind.

He didn't even bother to shut it down. He just left, and all the mods went soon after. It just dissapeared when the hosting ran out. Imagine total forum anarchy... especially with the mentality of the typical GTA player. "huh huh huh... I just slept with a hooker and then beat her to death to get my money back... I'm gunna do it again!" "Why not actually play the game?" "This is more fun!" you get the picture. Now imagine 600 or so of your typical spammy pre-teens going nuts without regulation whatsoever. Total madness.

Yeah, I think all these gys scared away the mods too, I haven't seen one in a while. I miss them, we could really use them right now, we got people posting what they wish and calling all halo 2 lovers the N word (not the racial term, the forum one). And at the same time oldschool members are going crazy on these guys trying to make them shut up and accept that halo 2 is different, but the best game in the world. Now all they do is lock posts and blacklist, and don't remind us that even though it calls for flameing, don't do it.

Nephus, not only has John Masterchief broken several spamming rules, but he's pretty obviously just trying to get a sticky thread. This forum does have problems, and you know what is the source of those problems? [b]500,000 members.[/b] So obviously, this forum will work just a tad differently than what you or anyone else is used to. He should [b]not[/b] expect to be taken seriously.

Any body who does that should be perma banned. I hate all those things.

3. Don't explain how the forums run unless you have been here for more then... two days. You won't be taken very seriously. 4. Don't listen to him. 5. Beware that flaming is a major offence. I have gotten blacklisted from it before, and it sucks. So stay away from flaming.

2. no one on this entire forum does anything but complain about how everything should be changed because they don't like to adapt to anything, complain about "n00bs", or just complain about Halo 2 in general. If you attempt to start a meaningful conversation, you will be flamed, or simply informed that many months ago the same topic already existed (even if it was only vaguely similar) without any further explaination. Give up now, don't bother posting anything.
