Oh hell no, I'm not making any threads over there. I'm not "respected" enough to lead a septagon raid. You do it.


Your the epitome of Bungie culture, your sarcastic and have a lighting tongue, who better to lead the charge than you? Me? I would drown them in a 5 thousand character letter...hardly useful.

Igg's ahead of the game again, he's gone and posted a 'please restore the name back to the Maw' thread in the Septagon already. But if you DO post there, don't flame! Give reasons!

Took me a minute to find the Septagon. Dammit I hate change...
I tend to hate change. Why? Because it's almost always for the worst.

Despite the fact that "The Maw" is clearly visible at the top of the webpage, I hate the new banner. I seriously dislike it. The "Halo 2 forum"? What the hell happened to New Mombasa? Just like ours, you can still see New Mombasa if you look at the top, but I don't want stupid people to come into our forum and ask "Y DUZ IT SAI THE MAW INSTED OF HALO 1 & 2 PC 4-M @ DA TOP????" As cool as the new lay out is, I miss our old site to the point of nostalgia.

My answer? HELL NO. And you don't see me typing in capital letters that often.

Don't get me wrong, the new lay out is sweet, sleek, and pretty spiffy. I'm just unfamiliar with it at the moment, and that's why I don't like it. But still, it makes me appreciate the old style of the site.

I hope you're not being literal. I'm not going to go off on how technology, social perceptions (i.e., blacks, women, deaf, minorities, etc, gradually getting individual rights) medicine, science, etc, have all changed over the years, but a blanket statement like that is fairly oppressive.

I'm not flaming you, I'm just curious as to what boundaries you use to define 'change' when you made that comment. I don't think that you honestly 'hate' change that has bettered mankind, such as the aforementioned examples, but like I said, in it's current context, that statement is fairly far-reaching and so I only wish for some further clarification.

I like the new site, I hate the new names for everything. And I especially hate that hideous banner. I just can't scroll down far enough to get rid of it. I might have to tape a piece of paper over it.

well, actually the new look isn't that bad. Yes, it does have some things that alot of people will now disagree on, and just not like. but, at least they did take the time to attempt something different.

Of course not! I apologize, it was my mistake for not being more clear with that statement. You are absolutely right.

What I should have said was, change is bad when you don't need it to begin with.

Ah, okay. Much better, thank you. That being cleared up, I have to say that the old B.net site was outdated; it was three years old. Web standards have changed quite a bit since the last overhaul, so I think the site change was sorely needed.

Also, to respond to me15ster's comment in another thread, the forums have sped up for me. I think that the new code is better streamlined and it seems like the forum pages load faster. It might just be me though.

Sorry, man. I'm pretty sure a lot of other communities have been built around a name, but this is our culture and our identity, and we're not ready to give it up without a fight.

Or at the very least, I'm not.

The Maw is known and is proud of being a harbor for a tightly-knit culture, individuality, and friendliness. Among the other forums on B.net, we've been called the most mature, responsible and self-sustaining forums, by some of the top moderators right here on Bungie, no joke. Almost all of us on this thread (and in the forum in general) know and talk to each other outside of this forum, yet we are all known collectively as part of The Maw. The pervasiveness of our identity, inherent in the freedom allowed exclusively through the open nature of a forum, is what makes us proud to call ourselves a part of this community. So please, give us back our name.

Yeah, I know it's there in the header, but couldn't the banner reflect that as well?

I don't doubt you, either. I've seen some wicked things made using only that. Contrary to popular belief, Paint is badassed.

I've considered expanding that little rant up there into it's own petition thread, but meh...I'll let the poll speak for itself.

  • 03.20.2007 4:13 PM PDT

We should all change our avatars to the MAW symbol in protest. I know I will. I'm doing it right now.

OK. then lets change The Flood's name to "Fuzzy Pink Kangaroo Stomaches" because its random. Just like The Flood. I'm sure they'll love it. but if they don't, its ok becuase its just a name right?

...Yknow, I haven't changed my avatar in more than two years of being on The Maw.

...

It's worth it. Who's with us?

Would you consider this wicked? It took me three and a half days to draw that in paint.
