look what they posted, after deleting the 20 + flames :
This topic is locked because there was a lot of very needless flamming and harrasment generated by it. To be honest, it was pretty -blam!- embarassing. However, I will say that I do stand behind the forums as being good. I know Gabe's comments pissed off some people, myself included, but you have to look at it from his point of view. One of his friends signs on and gives us the chance to be the first ones to hear about some news on Half Life 2 and we promptly turned around and dropped our pants. That said, I do not defend what he said. He lumped a lot of users together and insulted us as a group rather than saying "There were some -blam!- who ..."
Anyway, despite our inital reaction, we really do appreciate bungie stopping by our little forums with their weekly update. I am bringing this thread out of it former deletion so people can still have a good read.
Normally I welcome PMs if you disagree with my modderation\administration, however, I just got back celebrating my birthday up at a friends cabin and I have been offline until this point. I have close to 20pms to catch up on, a ton of threads, and phpBB released new security releases. You will need to give me a few days to catch up.
A note to mods : Please do not lock\move\delete\reply to this thread without talking to Deni, Ramius, or myself. Im not trying to go over your heads, I just need to get some things straightened out. You guys have done an amazing job handling this, I just am coming in late...

whaha, wasn't one of these mod's just as jackasz as all of the rest of these flaming bastaerds? 'great job on handling it folx!' yeah right, if they knew how to handle it, they locked the shid down after 3 flames... i just can't stop flaming them either. altho this is the right thing to do, no offense is taken from alphamonkey. the other mod's however need some serious asz-whoopin'. all these users need it tbh. why not invite them for a online-halo match? to show them who's boss? or get them to change their forums to worship halo?
lol now im gettin delerious.
