I too, am in favor of complete shutdown, except for the groups. The forums have been quite devoid of intelligent life anyway, lately, and it's doing me no good staying around. I do, because I'm hooked. I, luckily, haven't had anything ruined for me. Yet. I'd rather keep it this way, or else I am going to have to leave as well. I do NOT want this game to be ruined for me. New members would come back after they play Halo 2, trust me. So that, in my opinion, is not a problem. [Edited on 10/17/2004 1:23:47 PM]
