Subject: Ode to groups going down...! Ouch!

* Halo 1= Skill * Halo 2= Some skill after the update * Halo 3= Lets hope it doesn't need a fix for Non-NOOBS…

1,095 days of creation...
730 days of anticipation...
300 days of preorder....
5,000,000 copies sold...
250,000,000 plus dollars made...
ONE HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT… this is Halo 2 ...

Our group has been active since 2002. We are like group number 13 ever created at bungie. We used the group to plan our weekly lans which we've been doing for 5 years (hundreds of lans in the bay area at our place on Friday nights) including the first bungie sponsored halo tournament - Battle of the Bay. Since the groups have gone down we haven't had any lans these last 2 months.

Oh well long live Rico's House of Halo.

Really miss the groups. I don't see why they couldn't just leave them up and running until they got around to designing whatever they are changing.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Thats not an ode.

Groups aren't compatible with the New Hawtness. That is why they are down. Yes Achronos is doing some extra things to them but I heard something about bringing better features when Time was available. Just be patient. You could make a group forum form one of those free forum sites. That should work until the groups come back.

Being patient for months is too much. They could at least create a temporary site containing the old template with group information.

I just want something other than "soon".

*To everyone: Don't post any synonymes of "soon, either*

The Road Train

Everyone was told in well advance about the groups going to be down for a while, it sucks that you cant organise through the bungie groups, you should have thought ahead and organised something temporary, where the people could go to sort of out lans, they gave everyone a heads up for a reason.

You have been plundered by Cap'n IceWolfen. Arggggggggg!

Wow, i cant tell you how many drying kids Ive seen in these forums complaining about groups. Heres a thought. Do any of you people who complain have a sinlge idea what it takes to create these kinds of things? Its not like a simple script, java here, macromedia there (Just giving examples). These kinds of things take time, and time is just what your going to have to give it. If it takes two months, then wait 3. If it takes 2 years, then wait 3. It will be done when its done and it doesnt need your pitifull little odes, complaints, pitty parties, whine bashes, or anything else of that nature, to get it up and working again. Wow, why dont you kids grow up?
Heres an idea to the author of this thread.....theres alot more ways to get hold of people than groups in halo. ALOT MORE WAYS. Have you tried using a phone, mail, IM, or maybe even ZOMG??? Meeting these people irl to tell em? Well, im sorry but you might have to get up from your comfortable footons and gamer chairs, and take action in order to get something done. If the group with your lans are so important, then you can take some extra time to get them to work. I have had many, MANY LAN parties that i had to call people or talk to them in person to inform them of whats going on. If I can do it, then you can too.
