You know, I was >this< close to posting in here about this nonsense going on in the forums. I'm really tired of it, personally.

But hey, you posted, so now I'd feel wrong to type up a 5 paragraph rant.

My YouTube Channel. Just getting into the Machinima business.

Could you link to a couple of these incidents? I am really only aware of topics in the flood getting flammed for being about Halo 3.

Not really, it's actually good for those who frequent either forum to be aware of the situation.

Oh, it happens all the time. "Oh no! One got in from the Halo 3 Forum!!" Sure, it's kinda funny. For the first time.

It gets old and it derails the heck out of a thread. On top of that, I'm a little tired of the people flaunting about and using half the threads as flirting zones.

They could at least put up a sign. "WARNING: Flirting in Progress, This thread has been completely derailed by two people throwing naughty winks and innuendo back and forth at eachother!"

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Yes, they Halo forums and The Flood have been locked in a pointless war for a while now, even though there is really very little difference between them. The only outright flaming I've seen in The Flood, though, usually, is at people who make Halo 3 threads, which makes sense because it is stupid to post things off-topic. But that doesn't make it right. I think it's gotten better recently, we used to have people regularly make "I just went in the Halo 3 forum, it's so stupid, LET'S ATTACK RAWR WE'RE RETARDED!" threads. Now that rarely happens, although I'm sure the hostility is still there.

I've seen the off-topic forums try to create their own stupid little "nation" on other forums as well, I think it's just what happens.

Taxes do nothing to affect the share of wealth, since taxes are only applied to income.

So that's not even a part of the conversation at all, so it's pointless talking about it....

"for a "best" moral to exist, there must exist the "best" moral base. If the base of morality varies from location to location, culture to culture...then there can't be an absolute moral..

i am sorry to hear that in the 11 days of you having this bnet account that you have witnessed people making inappropriate posts on alt bnet accounts.

i am sure that if you bring these posts to the attention of moderators that they will try to put an end to these particular alt accounts making inappropriate posts. you may wish to pm a few with links.

Okay this has been bugging me for a while. I like to post in the Halo 3 Forum and the Flood forum pretty often and many times "regulars" from the Flood are actually attacking Halo 3 forum goers. There have been many instances that they will actually spam attack the Halo 3 forum on alternate accounts. Even when halo 3 forum goers will try to post in the flood they just get flamed and are told to "go back to the halo 3 forum" and "get out my flood"

I just want to know if the moderators are aware of this because this has to be stopped, Halo 3 forum goers are starting to retaliate and actually attack the flood forum. This is just blatant stupidity.

So where's the iron boot of the real government here, to crush the rebel coup d'état?

I just see the same members, day after day, posting the same crap about the Halo 3 Forum and such. I swear they clipped the wires tying the Report as Spam button to their forum. There needs to be less mercy around here. >_>

And yeah, while I agree with the OP, his new account makes me a little uncomfortable. ;)

How's about you refrain from using someone's join date in a valid community thread?

Who cares how long someone has been here. If it's a problem, it's a problem.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

The Flood has been at war with almost every Halo forum, the most known being the Zanzibar/Flood war. I really don't see much anymore though. Just report the threads to a mod if you do.

You people honestly don't know what a war is if you're calling that a war. Was anyone injured? Were there any casualties? Was anything resolved?

Oh look, it's Styles P. The same guy who told me to "Shut Up. You know absolutely nothing." in a PM, and then blocked me.
A PM I sent to him saying why I liked Halo 3, so as not to further send the original thread off topic. (Originally a Super Smash Bro's thread).

You get no respect from me, and if you have acted like this to anyone else, you deserve no respect at all.
(Quote my PM in here if you have a problem, and see what everyone else thinks.)

Agreeing with Ghandi, people who post threads in the wrong forum aren't innocent, and can give a general forum community a wrong image.
People just need to be more understanding and just walk away.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

To answer you questions I would have to say: Pezz hurt his index finger from clicking the ban button too much, the only casualty was my sanity, and the only thing that got resolved was that everyone now agrees that Chewbacca cheats at space chess.

Oh and forum battles are about the lamest thing I have ever seen. I swear what ever happened to good old back alley gang fights?

I've got a trident. Lets start one!

Anyways, teh Flood has always tried to start forum wars with other forums, not just the Halo 3 forum. I'm not sure why, it is pointless. To me its just another form of elitism. Elitism FTL.

To chief.... so he told you to shut up in a PM, then you go into a thread to personally attack him? Talk about being the bigger man. Anyways, nobody really cares about PMs, please keep it there, and if he blocked you, let it go.

I'm going to have to go with Weggie on this one. I find it a little inconceivable that in the short amount of time that you've been apart of B.net that the issue has really got to the point where it has pissed you off to much extent. I don't mind the "forum wars" because it is just blatant examples of idiots demonstrating their idiocy. Sometimes it's just fun to watch which circus monkey is going to "win" and then Pezz bans them all.
