I think that humans are the forerunner. What i think happened is that kindof like Atlantis say 120,000 years ago a branch of humans broke of and devoted themselves to technology, they expand and get bigger. then just as we are now, but more advanced and devastating develope the flood as a biological weapon. The flood then infect everything. so the forerunner/humans build these halos, they wipe the galaxy clean but the entire race runs of to another galaxy. some return and go to back to earth, but loose all technology and memory of the ancient forerunner. The covenant arise and they see this forerunner tech everywhere. the read forerunner texts and see that there is a parasitic lifeform spreading across the galaxy, they see the humans and assume the humans are the flood.
proof of this is when guilty spark sayz that there was a redeemer or whatever before mc. this was probably the forerunner sent in to set of the halos the first time. gs seems to recognize the mc. ALSO MOST IMPORTANTLY:: gs, when onboard the pillar sayz "finally, a record of all OUR lost history", our? i mean that is THE evidence there that proves the forerunner is human. he wouldnt say OUR if the forerunner wasnt human.
To support my idea that the forerunner ran outside the galaxy, as posted earlier is that gs sayz THIS galaxy.
As for a reason as to why the forerunner kept some flood alive, maybe the forerunner government didnt want to wipe out their supreme weapon(besides halo) or who knows, im sure the forerunner had a reason.
I think in halo2 the forerunner will come back, just before the fall of earth, and save us. then they will help us assault the covie homeworld. i mean whatelse could attack there world? it sayz that their homeworld is soo well defended that a pebble cant come withing a light year of their world without being destroyed.
