i am acctualy getting very anoyed with the classified section of the forums.
there is sooo much choise for US haloers, lazy clan , competitive clans, organised clans, no level required, level required, pascific, atlantic, covanant, even a pac man clan.

however its not that i disagree with no post bumping, but there is no way my post even gets looked at because there are soo many other posts by my american firends

could i suggest within classified, having a sticky for each major geographical section of the world (that plays halo)

maybe even US , Euro , Asia.

becuase it is impossible for me to advertise my Uk clan without joing thousands of groups that have 3 people in, and ask them all

this international aspect has also been slighty over look in xbox live aswell, because me and my english chums, find it extremely hard playing you american lot becuase of the lag, from the distance.

its probably too hard to implement now but maybe when it searches for matchmade games, it could take a lag test just before the game starts, so im not forced to quit and loose rank becuase of a bad match

thanks for listening, congratulations on the amazing game, that has managed to streach through soo many language barriors, something that not many games have done.

thats unfortunate. I would be pissed to if I couldn't get together with a group of my peers because my posts got burried.

Most people don't even take notice to the stickies, for instance, this one.

You can search for groups/chapters from certain places, so perhaps the same should be avaliable for clans.

There's not much clan support on the website though. Clans have absolutely no meta data such as motto, location, etc that would make searching easier.

Oh, and as for the Classifieds... That place scares me. In practice, it's more of a spam catcher than anything practical, in my opinion.

Yeah; every time I've directed someone to it, I can't help but hope they remain there...

As for the international aspect; us Europeans just don't have the same weight of numbers on live, or Bungie.net compared to the Americans. We should all do our bit and persuade our countrymen and comcontinentals [okay, that's not even a word] to get involved in Xbox Live and Halo 2. Me? I slap every man I meet who hasn't got the service or the game. :D

Perhaps there should be. Anywho, as for The Classifieds it does need to be sorted. I suggested a new group directory, so perhaps there could be a similar direcotry idea for Clans. With the 360 coming out soon, i'm sure it would be possible to store more data about clans.

I used it to join an MLG clan a while back but it took me like 3 weeks because when i posted "Anyone have a good MLG clan" it got washed away in 5 minutes then the next day i would try again. Thats not wrong is it?

I dont think so... not if no one noticed it. The classifieds are spamtacular any way
