Yeah, Underground should be lower on the list.

  • 02.02.2005 8:47 PM PDT

But that would suggest inferiority. And we all know that the Underground is the most important forum!

Yes, but if it's so supreme, how come the kiddies can hurl so much exrceta all over it and live to tell the tale?

(And yes it is the most important... followed by Septagon and Flood neck and neck)

Well, one way to make it up to "standards" would be for you guys to make some more on-topic posts. We can only do so much hi-jacking of threads which were intended to be about Halo 2 or somesuch so that we somehow end up talking about the Oni story (which, by the way, is a very underrated pastime).

Just banning everyone who misposts wouldn't solve anything. The best way to get new people to start posting on topic is for the older members to set a good example. Right now, you could be forgiven for thinking that the Underground is for Halo 2 discussion.

I was planning on starting a Marathon discussion, I just need more ideas... and I can't vouch for Oni or Myth because I've played neither, so me starting a thread on either of the games is pointless.

Why don't you revive the Marathon Quiz?

  • 02.03.2005 7:40 AM PDT

You find it, and post something in it. Then we'll talk. :)

The only old school Bungie game I've played is Marathon, but I still agree that The Undergroud should stick to the discussion of old school games. All I see lately (obviously) are Halo 2 threads.

Hopefully somebody can create a great old school thread (Marathon, perhaps) that will last for a while. The only problem I see with most old school threads is not that theirs nothing to discuss, but the discussion doesn't start.

Did you know I've blacklisted people in the Flood for whining about "the quality of posts dropping?" =)

It's just that I can't handle the irony.

All to easy to bump threads. I see it in the Clasifieds all the time. Most have one thread with no replies then you see some with one or two or even 5 and each reply is the person that start the thread and they all say "bump"

I'm certifiable.

I think we'll see some more "auld skoolness" coming back into the Underground when Reiginko's Marathon Essay/Poem/Joke contest is done.

In the meantime, we should think of some other ways to rejuvenate the old school threads.

i like bungie i like halo and halo2 (never played any other games of bungie but marathon sounds good)


i think the under ground should be about all bungie games but not about all this stuff about halo2 like how do i get up on this hill or how do you kill a grunt with a rocket launcher?

no i think it should be about all ,marathon,oni(i dont know any thing about oni),gnop(not a big fan of that aswell i didnt like pong so i dont like gnop but if i had to choose i would go with gnop because it was made by bungie),myth(never played that),halo, and last but not least halo2

but this is my opinion (ill wait for some one to argue with me now)

  • 02.03.2005 6:44 PM PDT

Er, well, if you leave out the stuff about Halo and Halo 2, that is what the Underground is about. Every game Bungie made before they made Halo, plus general discussion of Bungie itself.

Subject: Why HAL0 2 isn't in the Underground.

Because the HAL0 serries is currently the hottest Bungie item on the shelves and many (names I can't say) are interested in only that for now. Thats wy HAL0 2 takes up 3 forums and PC and HAL0 each take up one forum. I have to admit it was HAL0 that brought me to this place. However I have been able to try some Old Skool games like Marathon and I must say they rock.

As for the Underground getting all this HAL0 2 spam it used to be the only place you could post about HAL0 or HAL0 2. There were only 3 forums back then. The Underground, Septagon, and The Maw for PC.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Maybe there should be a spamming forum. It may just be the new hotness :P.
