Destinypedia - The Wiki for Bungie's Destiny
Posted by: DEATHPIMP72
Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

The Halo 2 forum will become incredibly obsolete in less than one week, traffic notwithstanding. Moreover, in terms of marketing, Bungie/Microsoft is trying to focus as much attention on Halo 3 as possible -- not Halo 2. The Flood Forum needs to be quickly and easily available to new members so that they know (at least subconsciously, hopefully) that they can't post off-topic in other forums.

The Underground doesn't get a ton of traffic, it's true. It's not about the traffic or the quality of posting (quality of posting in the Halo 2 Forum, by the way, is a subjective factor that I'm not totally positive I agree with) -- it's about giving users a place to go to discuss general Bungie topics.

To be honest, I understand that it would be either insulting and/or annoying that anybody's favorite forum is placed in the "Other Forums" list. But perhaps you should follow Recon's suggestion for now, and just bookmark the Halo 2 forum. That seems like a pretty good idea to me.

PS. I HATE biased polls. What is the point of even having the poll if you're not going to give all the options, dude?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Foresight.

The Halo 2 forum will undoubtedly drop in activity drastically come next Tuesday. The other forums have significance beyond activity levels.

Yes, I see the importance of the flood now
You seem to be missing the point of the Flood. That is exactly why it is there.

Th Flood should not be moved to another tab....

Just back to the bottom of the list. It was cozy down there, and easy to mouse over.

Plus, the Flood is one of the more active forums, if not on par with Halo 3. Why would you hide one of the biggest sub-communities?

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

As has been said, the flood forum is quite active, and as soon as halo 3 comes out is going to be significantly more active than the halo 2 forum. However, I will say that the sudden change in the order of the forums is a bit annoying, it definitely takes me longer to click where I want to go.

Not to me. I guess that it depends on whether someone has a "favorite" forum.

If someone does, they apparently consider it more valuable and worthwhile than other forums and attempt to "defend" it.

I don't have any favorites, I see this entire site as one location. So to me, "one forum over another" is all rather pointless.
The only reason why I think that is because of the biased options. What about keeping the Flood as is? Where is that option?

Yes, but these are "special." circumstances.

Read the thread and all will be revealed.

I just re-read the thread 3 times. I didn't see any excuse why you couldn't take the time to put a couple more options in your poll.

In your poll we're forced to support the Halo 2 forum, demote the Flood forum, or both.
Biased options.

OK, I'm going to put it in a quote box in this post. You read the entire thread 3 times and didnt find this?

As for the PS, that was actually done on accident, I was in a rush to get out the door for my geomatics class. For the people who say neither, just say so in your post and ill put it up in the OP

Hey, just when I think I've read a whole post, I go and make an ass outta myself.

Way to go, Fists, way to go.

Welcome to the other side.

Anywho, I think (scratch that, hope) in the coming days, the selection of forums immediately listed will be an advantage to the site.Granted, I can see where you are coming from by claiming this, but I think it's the lesser of two evils.

If the choice were mine, I'd go back to the drop-down menu dedicated to just the forums. Most (if not all) of the forums would then be able to be listed without causing too many eye-hemmorrages (sp?)

Don't beat yourself up. Flavor Flav has been a big troll in the flood since his account was created. You insight was not imagined. The fact that he has such knowledge of many of the posters suggests that he is also an alt from some banned member.

Flavor flav is an alt account; troll? possibly.

Anyways I see it that the Flood is more current than the Halo 2 forum so it should have a prominent position. Looking at all the options it only shows the forums that are current. It shouldn't have anything to do with traffic or your whimsical idea of "quality of posts"

Well, a logical person would place that in the Original Post since that's where people place their vote, not hidden in a lengthy response. An understandable mistake.
