In the wars of the future, wars will be fought by video game nerds who can't use anything but a sniper rifle.

Imagine, someone equipped with an automatic rifle will venture out into the battlefield and be killed by a member of his or her respective team because they're a "noob".

You should type random forum IDs and see what you get. I got some of the most random groups... It is something to do when you are bored. I was actually looking for the Beta forums. Now I know where they are, so I can stop my search. Thanks, OP, for finding this 'Secret Forum'. Now I can end my curiosity on this as I now know the answer.

What is it with you and secret forums snakie?

Nah, just messin with you, haven't talked to you for a while man.
Secret Forums create an internal sense of Elitism, just right for Snakie's lack of self confidence :P

But if you are interested, you need to complete a certain task to join... *cough*

So it is a group forum. Well sometimes it lags. Try later if it doesn't work you may be on to something.

This is not a group forum... http://www.bungie.net/Forums/topics.aspx?forumID=11

This is a group forum... http://www.bungie.net/fanclub/2/Forums/topics.aspx?forumID=11

  • 12.03.2008 5:56 PM PDT

That is the first group forum. Go through the forums starting at 1 and move up.
If you get past 11, you'll see it continues to be an "Access Denied" page.

Does it have a title? (The "secret" forum)
Now Cortana, if you'd been reading, it's pretty much been noted as being the Halo 3 Beta forum ;)

John, I AM TIRED. And other reasons that you know of...

Thanks guys, forgive my stupidity at this hour.

We need a madness to the method!

Wow, you guys fascinate me.

You know, there are probably dozens of secrets that the mods keep. Maybe they'll dangle one of them out from time to time just to freak us out.

EDIT: What about the HFCS? There's a secret forum (that shows some minor details)

Usually admins have a secret forum on any forum site.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I would agree that its a secret forum, but with the caveat that its just a private forum. Its a secret kept from everyone who is not in the group, but gaining access to the group means it would no longer be a secret to you.

Your reasoning that its a secret forum and not just another private group is based on the difference between the URLs. Well, even though you can't view private forums with a URL that does not include the "fanclub" moniker, I don't think that was always the case. I seem to remember someone coming up with a way to view them via a standard URL with a forum ID number. Perhaps the webteam has since changed those parameters, or perhaps I'm just making it all up.

I do know that this very forum used to be a private forum, belonging to the Chapter Founders. It was made a public forum when the userbase here became too big for a single group to handle all the website issues. Also, you could only get into the Chapter Founders if you had created a chapter, and shown the CF admins and big wigs that you were actually interested in running a private chapter. Making it go public just made sense.

You can also thank that eventuality for stosh being your first humble moderator.
