Is it possible to keep a greater Mod presence in the Underground for a couple of days... say until the whinging and whining about the update finishes. The entire front page is taken up with crap- Spam, Update Whinging and Halo Movie Thread... Come on guys, lend a hand.

That is why it is called The Underground.

It's called The Underground for the entire forum to be off topic? No, The Underground is still my favorite forum, even though it has hardly nothing Oldskool or even Bungie General anymore. It's a shame really.

Yes, moddies, get that place clean for once. I would enjoy seeing it's former shine back.


Wrong. I couldn't think of anything to say, so I said that. I never go there. I like The Septagon better. CLEAN NOW!

Then why did you post? Sigh.

You should have seen what The Underground was like..


Well, I go there sometimes, like recently, but I don't post there a lot. The only good thread is the Halo Movie one, IMO.

I have to tell you Gaara, my initial feeling was to just ignore the Underground for a while, but I'll try to do my part to help point wayward posters in the right direction. The spam to total post ratio is sure to get worse, especially in the Underground.

Three consecutive posts that could not be further from the truth. Is it possible to require some sort of competency test before the privilege of forum posting is bestowed on a member?

And lets not forget the five minute intervals between posts. And there were no avatars back then either.

  • 04.19.2005 6:41 PM PDT

You mean avataras, don't you?

Anyway, the old site had good and bad things, like the new site. You'd have thought you'd get over it after a year, but noooooo.

As for the Underground, I think I'm going to rediscover my delete button.

"Unleash Ninjas" is a nice button, too.

It's just a suggestion.

Yea sorry about that. I'll be checking that forum more often. Also mods if you delete a post make sure you pm the user and explain what they did wrong...I have a text file full of common admin pm messages and I just copy and paste. I tend to just delete posts and pm users now.

  • 04.20.2005 10:38 AM PDT

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Also mods if you delete a post make sure you pm the user and explain what they did wrong...

Wow. That's the most sensible thing i've heard in a long time.

Unfortunantly, once something loses it's shine, it's unshiny for good.

Take for example the shiny soccerball I got for Christmas. This was when it was New. And what my soccerball looks like now, is completly different. I'd have a pic of it, but it would burn your eyes to see it...

...that and... i coudn't find a camera to take the photo. But you get the idea.

So the only way to make something shiny, is to get a new one. =[

Spam^7 in the Underground.

Ach! Was ist los?

Spam rate = x10^7, rather.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

I don't mean to sound snobbish, but what if the Underground was made only accessible to people that were around the Underground before the new site? It would give a new meaning to the name, and it would serve as a nice "chill-out" place for the Bungie veterans... A forum that had the old set-up... Threaded views and all.

Sure, there's a Veterans of Bungie group... but it still doesn't capture the old days well enough...

Just my opinion.

Actually, a private forum idea doesn't sound that bad. But we do have groups also...*sigh*...

I really don't know what we are even supposed to discuss there.

We could just rename it The Crypt... You'd need some fresh members, a forum full of old posters with age-related superiority complexes is not a good replacement for an old-skool discussion forum, even if it is in such a state.

(Of course, I may be biased knowing that I registered at the site after the New Hawtness.)

I really think we should have a forum (or chapter i guess) that's only accessible to people with join dates before halo 2's launch. Although that would piss a lot of new users off.

  • 04.21.2005 10:37 PM PDT

Most of the new users are pissed off already.
