It seems that since the coming of the new Bnet, the activity and the fun of the old has decreased. People seem to post one, stupid comment, then never come on again, rather than being intelligent, constructive members who run chapters and have mature fun.

Just food for thought, I suppose.

So, I'm not the only one to notice it. I have noticed a gradual, to rapid, decrease in the fun and intelligence in the Flood. Something needs to be done. I liked the old Flood a lot. Now....

Everything was better in the olden days. Back when I was a boy, we had to walk 15 miles in the snow! And... no wait... wrong story there. Back before Halo 2 hype by all the new fans, we had intellegent conversations! Now, most people simply flame and spam.

Oh, sorry about that. I thought you were talking about back when I joined and in the summer, but the time you are talking about was even better. I don't know why I didn't just join. I read all the posts here anyway. Ender.......what are you talking about! You haven't even been here a week. Unless you are someone who changed their name?

I joined well before the wave of Halo 2 fans, if not pre-flood. I remember thinking it was the best forum ever. I also acted like a noob. Once I got used to it, it was great. now...it's not. All we have now are the dying twitches of a once mighty machine. R.I.P. The Flood.

Don't forget Sinister Pig. Of course he's dead now, along with most of them.

I remember how much better it was even three months ago, when all the retards were cooped up in NM.

Now, they've gotten bored of only discussing three different topics and have decided to diffuse into the other forums.

*sigh*

Just hold on for a few more years. Halo 3 will be coming around, and they'll create a new forum for it. Then, during a span of about two years, the Halo 3 board will be a Mecca for intelligent discussion. About two or three months prior to release, idiocy will abound in the Halo 3 forum yet agian. Then we shall have our peace for another five month season before being flooded by them again.

History will repeat itself. It has a knack for doing so.

The stupid people, just like us not-as-stupid people, have no lives.
They will not leave until they get a girlfriend, or a job, or find some other game to obsess over.

No. It's like bums in New York: they'll always be there.

The problem is, we are not taking the many opportunities to educate the flamers and spammers. I am almost positive that half of these "stupid" people are new members who havent learned the proper eitquette or rules, and never will because we simply decide to scoff at them. For instance, last night a member came onto my thread and filled a whole page with spam. I informed him that his actions could result in him getting banned, but that I wasn't mad at him. He apologized, editted all his posts, and promised to read the code of conduct more closely. Thats all the people need: a helpful reminder. I know this because, I too was once a spammer, and if it was not for the help of an older member, I would probably still be up to my old tricks. Give them a chance, and The Flood will be saved.

Some can be educated others are a lost cause. I think there should be a quiz on some basic rules before you are allowed to use the site.

The answers would get leaked onto the net. It would only work for about 50 members.
