The post below is not of a human, but a remnant of a human. Any intelligence they had has fled, leaving just a shadow of what they could of been. Hence, they are an imbecile.

This is the single most interesting thread I have ever had the pleasure of reading on the bungie forums. I may not have been around for long when the forums were still quiet, desolate and welcoming, but I do know that hopefully with the ending of the Halo series we can eventually return to such a state.
I have always been a fan of smaller forums. The community is always a close knit group of people who know how to have a good time and not cross too many lines. Its just a bunch of friends discussing what they love to discuss and other shenanigans. With larger forums, you lose the individuality to the mass and end up with just "the community" and not any specific members, You then begin to lose yourself in that mob of people, not knowing if you are really a member or just a shadow among the rest.
My goal in most forums is to not be a shadow, but a light. One who lights the path and helps people out, make the community a better place for everyone who joins and interacts with it. But with this large number of people that is almost impossible, my words are just washed away with the rest of the river that is the b.net forums. I try to aspire for a position that may let me have a greater effect on what happens here, but I am close to abandoning all hope for such a thing.
Unless this place shrinks, or implodes as you so violently put it, we may never see any progress here, just a perpetual whirlpool of conversation.
Agreed. I too like the small, close-knit forums. And I was shocked when I returned to the Bungie Forums after a couple months spent on the SupCom forums. The amount of pure imbeciles here shocked me, but I will not let it keep me away entirely. I have been preparing myself on the HaloWars forums, for the time I will return to the main Halo 3 forum, to be as UL7IMA said, a guiding light. I hope desperately, that Bungie will announce something that is not Halo at its roots, and the community will return to how it was before. I came to these forums not long before Halo 3 was announced, and so felt the full brunt of the blow, dealt by the many people flocking to the Bungie forums, both to suggest ideas and the such, but also for more despicable means, to troll, to criticize Halo, and Xbox in general. That second group of people is what caused me to leave, but I will not let them drive me away again. I belive we must venture out into the other Bungie forums, and push for a brighter day for these forums. We must make intelligent topics, and do our best to fight back against the spammers and trolls, the people that just make unintelligent posts in general. But fighting stupidity with fire will do nothing. We must fight it with intelligence. We must do what UL7IMA tries to do, and be a guiding light for these forums, and so help it weather this storm.
