It seems like more of the old forum users and the place where mods actually talk is here in The Flood, even though I used to think no one came down here

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I know what you mean. I like the Septagon more... all the really smart people are there to give me advice. Thats also where the mods post a lot.

The Flood can't replace the Underground as the home for old school threads.

I think what he means was the old Underground- before the new hotness. It was the place for general Bungie discussion. Basically all of the forums other than The Maw and The Septagon put together. Rip Saw, Shai, SinisterPig, Shatterstar and Co. (and quite a few others that I don't have time to name) were the main users back then- seems like more than half of them are pretty much gone now. I don't even think SinisterPig ever even set foot in the new site.

Yeah Yoozel, come to think of it times sure have changed.

I almost forgot Neo117 and MASTER XBOX, the forum villains of their time. We didn't have mods back then so we had to kinda' handle things ourselves.

Good times.

Luckely i didn't have to witness that much from NEO117.
He left short after i joined. guess i scared him away, and masterXBOX, i even joined his chapter, than someone told (or alot of people actually) that he was a big jerk.I left right after that. man i was such a n00b back than.

There was Achronos, but he only stepped in if things got severe. There were a lot less users back then so things could be handled.

Something else that would blow your mind:

Whenever someone was banned by Achronos, it was a major event (talk of the forum for months). It was like Christmas- that big.

But ironically, the Underground receives far more off-topic posts than the Flood.
