The interesting thing about this thread is the progression of your arguments cApAc_aMaRu. I see a distinct deterioration and reversal in your key points. Now we’ll just start of by saying that I’m fine with constructive criticism. We’ve had threads like this before too, yet you seem not to realize. Perhaps if you are to criticize a community you ought to know a thing or two about it first. And that’s what you end up attacking; us. The complete U-bend in your topic shows to me a server lack of clarity and substance in any of the claims you have made.

But of course no one here cares...
I think you’ll be hard pressed to find a community that cares more than this one. On one side we have long term community people who spend hours trying to contribute and improve what we have. On the other hand we throngs of stubborn Halo fan boys who posts about aimlessly, shooting down anything they spot that goes against their ways. That second class might care for the wrong reasons but it still renders your post bluntly inaccurate.
And since so many are immature, why do you think them reasonable enough to talk about such sensitive topics as religion? I made a thread called ‘Frankie is a girl’ once in the public forums. No repercussions. When you start talking about moral beliefs Bungie provide you the space to do that, but in such a way it does not viciously clash in the public forum and cause upset and another flame war. Join a group, cApAc_aMaRu. We don’t care what you talk about, we just care about how easily it could offend. Does that seem unreasonable? With the scale, individuality and entirely unique structure of this great website, we’re practically living in a political environment. That’s terse enough for me.
I just want to pull to the side for a moment and quote this:

So your saying 'Halo suck, Mass effect rocks' ?
If so then why are you on the Halo forums?
Please refer to the above example of unintelligent conversation. This person didn't bother to read properly before he replied. He completely misses the point. Any criticism of anything about Halo 3 gets this typical, inane response.
For a start, if you are so tired of the Halo forums then I think it’s perfectly reasonable to just pack up and leave.
What did you think when you made this thread? Did you think it would lead anywhere? Has it? Does your contribution to the community rest within this? And yet another quote, this one from myself rounding up what I’m trying to say:
I think the worst thing happening to the community is people making neglecting threads, and taking on a tone that bears some similarities to a morbid depression era of sorts, instead of just being a part of what's going on, remedying any slowness we might have. It frustrates me to see people fretting about nothing, when really they're the source of any problems.
Will the community fall apart? No? A thousand committed people don't disappear overnight. They haven't for the last sixteen years. Will we get crap on the forums? Yes. New users (most of whom are incredibly stubborn) + More that one forum = Posting in the wrong places, arguments over a pixel of inaccuracy with a gun.
It's all a rush right now, but it will calm down. Really, the damage that is being done is only superficial, so I doubt Bungie will do anything, since short of shutting down whole site there’s nothing to be achieved.
And no, I'm not attacking this thread. This seems pretty constructive to me, but some of the other stuff recently has been warring me down.
This thread is exactly what I am referring to.

Reading is hard, but keep trying, and you'll get it eventually.
Reading through this thread I witnessed the decline in your arguments, now relying upon sarcasm and meaningless retorts. It's sad that within a situation you yourself have created, the substance ran dry before long. What does that suggest? A spur of the moment consideration and lack of forward planning. Do you regret making this thread now? I would have thought you do. Come back to us when you have something of substance to share.
And pertaining to your above quote, I don’t know… but maybe you do find reading hard.

You insult us by calling us donkeys so you probably deserve all the inane responses that you are going to get.
So here I go.
"You dumb , you supa dupa dumb, you go die in hole and die!"

I'd say my estimate of the average forum poster intelligence was accurate. Care to lift the average a little with a proper post?
My reading skills testify to support two conclusions I draw from this quote.
1. You are unable to recognize the intentional irony within Zeo’s post, since he is outlining the stereotype you seem to be formatting as your argument beings to sway.
2. You swallowed up that stereotype suggesting a clear lack of clarity in what you are defining, perhaps because it is, for the most part, imaginary? Infatuated and sprung within you own mind.
Perhaps you should focus on reading better and stop allowing your prejudices to fail you. In a forum composed mostly of HTML, it’s recommendable.
There is not a single point you’ve raised that has not been answered reasonably at some point through this thread. You started blaming the developers for not informing their fans properly or allowing them to post certain things in particular places, but now you are blaming the developers for their fans not being considerate enough to know this is the forum to post in. Hhmm, that's a little bit ironic to me, and lacking in logic. There's a tale of a man two came to a village selling both a sword that could penetrate anything, and a shield that could not be broken. You just reminded me of it.
