Bungie should create a new forum, and reserve it for people who have a desire to follow the rules, and show signs of intelligence. Here we would have freedom to discuss topics without the pain of spam or flame wars.

I agree, but be careful saying that kind of thing. I angered a lot of people in the Septagon.

I still see no reason as to why this wouldn't be a good idea. Perhaps members that have been here for a year, with a generally clean record, would be granted access to it.

My story is this:

A man approached me in the hallways of my learning villa. I man by the name of Dave Ender. Dave had a declaration. One that I had to listen as because he currently had a colt .45 pressed to my ribcage. "Hey, you should join Bungie and then join my group." he says. Now, I'm a learned man but, but this? What did it mean? What was a "group"? Possible some sort gathering of ninjas? I had my doubts, so I pressed him. "What is Bungie?" "It's the place that made Halo". The mystery deepens. Apparently, Bungie has created a combat simulation program for training toops. Somehow it had reached the public. This was all I could get out of him for at this tim the bell rang, signaling the beginning of classes. I talked to his right hand man, know here as "Coheed". 13 pinacolodas and a phone call later I was a member. The best I could do in the begining was post in the one group I was in. Finally, I worcked up the courage to post in the Flood. Since I don't have an x-box and have only played a little Halo, it was (is) perfect for me. Any questions I had were answered by Dave, Coheed, or one of the friends (eliteskull being the first) that I have met here. If the begining, the months before Halo 2 came out, it was good. Men laughed and fun together. The fools gathered in New Mombassa, and rarely did the Flood see a "free" product offer thread or a group ad. Even after Halo 2 it was okay. But, in the past few weeks the idiots have surfaced. I have seen so many innapropriate forums, "free" stuff, groups ads, and so forth. Previously, I had not had very mcuh experience with the fait of mind. Mostly, this has been good to me. I liked the fact that they thought ninjas were cool like myself. but thesepast weeks have been hard. Even my tiny group was hit with a extreme idiot. He made a post in each forum about a very innapropriate subject, one of which I will not repeat. Needless to say, he was banned. This act woke me up to the fact that fools are real. Later after informing a new member about his breaking of the rules in his thread, he pm'ed me calling me a quote "-blam!-, hommo". I had to ignore him. In closing, I will do as this site has done to me. It has provided me with a fun place to go. A place to meet people. My first, really second but the other one *cough* lego cough* was terrible and I only made two posts. So, I will stay. Through whatever idiocy, I will remain to add my intelligent posts to those of Halifax, Yellowranger, Coheed, Randomly Issued, Mc's bro, Texas Ben, and many others. I will preserve the intelligence.

I am not for elitism, but in this case, when there is no hope........well what other choice is there, but then to deal with the stupidity. Besides there is a difference between elitism and a reward for good responsible members.

Describe to me exactly how they would decide who is "better" and who is "not".

If you refer to my posts, then perhaps you should rethink your statement. Abiding by the rules and posting on a forum for a certain length of time is hardly egotistical. Neither is intelligence. If I had boasted all this, then yes, perhaps you would be right. But as it is, I see nothing wrong with wanting a spam-free forum.

To be honest with you I really don't know. You have to agree with me that there is a stupidity problem and you want it gone.

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.

Don't generalize. There are quite a few who I see post a lot...but I do know what you mean (even though I wasn't around for the old version) this place isn't as fun as before...and that was when I used to stay in New Mombasa (it was LONG time ago) so I can only imagine what this was like.

Yes, there is, and yes, I want it gone. But think of it like this, there are places a lot worse than The Flood. If anything, we have one of the better places.

We have no other subjects for the new forum to be about. All we have is a "clean" The Flood.

I'm telling you, they aren't bad people! They are merely scientists who don't know what we think is right or wrong.

Yes, it is one of the better places, and i'm happy for that fact. But the fact that it could be so much better and that no one is even trying to improve the Flood is what pisses me off. People see that there is a problem, and yet, they do nothing to help it. In some cases, they notice the problem, complain about it, and then go make it worse. Far too many people on this forum that think they can single-handedly fix everything. Myself included. What we need to realize, is that fixing the Flood is not something we can do individually. We, as a forum, need to realize our problems, work on fixing them, and help others that don't know better to realize their mistakes. Complaining doesen't help. It only adds to the problem.
