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.

Hahaha. Just kidding. We wouldn't be able to control half of the -blam!- that goes on around here. But wouldnt that be funny if we like... broke away from the other forums and moved for our independance? Kind of like the Civil War, and us being the south.

I'd rather be the north- I've never been a big fan of slavery.

Well would it help if the slaves were New Mombassians?

EDIT: The forum, not the place in Africa...

Slavery was not the only reason the South broke away.

  • 01.20.2005 4:37 AM PDT

Um, no.

And good thing you edited that post Pink Menace, some people might have taken that the wrong way.

I know. Hehehe... I know it wasn't the only reason, but I said "Like the Civil War". Not "It would be the exact same in every aspect to the Civil War. Now let's not have this become an American History thread. No more talk about the Civil War please...

But... that'd be funny.

I wouldn't trust those morons to do anything, I'd rather do it myself!

Yeah, I realise that, but it was one of the major points if I remember right. And even if it wasn't, I'm still not gonna support the side that supported slavery.

But anyway, I'd rather still have the support of the mods to smackdown anybody who spams/flames/blah. And there is always the chance of abuse of power if ordinary members got veto/blacklisting abilities...

I hate it when people say the civil war was about slavery. It was a little bit, but it was mostly about the bad economy that the southern states had with the Union. That is why they suceeded.

And I hate it when people keep talking about something off-topic in my thread after I have politely asked them to stop.

That's it. No more talk about slaves or Civil War or anything even remotley similar to them. I was just saying that it would be funny if we did succeed, because the Flood seems like the most independant forum at B.Net. I dunno, it just does. Whatever...

But then who would protect us from Davester? Also, as we speak someone is spamming.

Well, we wouldn't just live in chaos.We would elect our own officials. (e.g. Ninja, Webmaster, that stuff.)

Hahaha. I like that little follow-up. It's like a "Your mom" joke, without "Your mom" anywhere in it. It's genius. We're a great team...

I did. Actually I'm the Founder. Linky is in my profile...

What history books were you reading the south had a lot better economy then the north at that time. It was half about slavery and half was that the south wanted states to have the power not the federal government and he north wanted a strong federal government.

Why bother breaking away with this sub-forum? Why the hell not round up all of your little Flood friends, and find another internet forum away from b.net. Don't take away a forum that is perfectly good for the "non-Flooders" to post cool and interesting things unrelated to Bungie.

Hell, just make your own website, create a public forum and go there. That way, its win-win. The members who are "scared" to come here because of the obsurd excess of spam and flame could use this forum for what it was meant for, and you guys get to leave, away from the mods that censor you and the non-Flooders who criticize you, to a "better" place where you can roam free, and post as you see fit. Hah! While your at it, you might as well make Obbiquiet the overlord of that forum...
