Good work everyone. I am personally surprised by the communities current amount of self restraint and growing maturity. The moderators have also been doing a wonderful job.
However, we live in an apocalypse obsessed world, so it is only appropriate that it also applies here. I am gonna ahead and remind the community of some problems that, as amazing as the moderators are, we should watch our for in the near future.
1. The Flood: While that beautiful is always under speculation and scrutiny, right now is a even more dangerous time than normal. Impossible you say, well I say it isn't(ooh, clever).
Key problems:
- New members not using a search button.
- New members making insults, that aren't funny or relevant... but thinking they are because regulars seem to do it.
- New members being... for lack of a better word... noobs(as in: newer members less accustomed to the way things work, not the OMG PWNED NOOB, noob).
- regulars pretty much being generally pissed off to their breaking point about all of this.
- regulars being very well organized compared to the newer members
Good news:
- many new members are beginning to find their niche
- regulars are beginning to find out more about, and get more comfortable around the newer members.
*unfortunately this is only a few member
BIG ISSUE: Massive tensions are there right now. People who visit relatively frequently know what I am talking about. It's something you can't put into words.
Halo 3 forum:
I am no regular here, but every time I go these are the general problems I find
Key problems:
- members making stupid/ constantly repeated posts
- seemingly no (visible) moderator enforcement for the spam
BIG ISSUE:The forum is just general chaos, it makes the Flood and, dare I say it, Zanzibar look tame.
Good news
- these problems are overrated
- their are quite a few respectable members there.

Groups, yes groups:
This isn't so much of a OH NOES DEATH, but more of a what to look forward to happening.
Many groups were built up in anticipation of thing to come in Halo 3, and what could happen... now what. This is not a bad thing or a good thing. For one, this could lead to a larger amount of groups becoming inactive than normal, but then seeing new ones created, or more members going back to the public forums. In other words, groups are going through a very large transition right now, and should be noted.
Ah, but where is the discussion in this thread. That's your job you silly wittle readers. What do you guys think of the apocalyptic predictions I have set forth. Am I overreacting, under reacting, not looking at other issues that are there, or should I just STFU?
