I posted on these forums when they first opened a while ago. Things were hectic back then and yes, There were a bunch of spammers who tried to increase their post count. I complimented stosh on the great job he was doing (He was the only mod back then I believe). Glad to see Shishka on board as well, his Halo knowledge and 'wiseness' about things is a great plus to this community.

Now onto the problem, you guys are all far to concerned about Halo 2 either being released on the 24th or not being released on the 24th. Open your eyes guys. I'm not going to say Halo 2 won't be released on the 24th but i'm not going to say it will either.

The story on ilovebees.com has been written by Bungie and Microsoft for a reason - They want to encourage you guys to get involved. So go do that! Don't waste your time contemplating over whether or not the game will be released on the 24th. There's a much deeper story waiting to be discovered on ilovebees.com - Everyone knows that it's common sense.

Before any of you guys say it's not Bungie and not Microsoft doing this. The Moderators have already told you guys that they've been told to move any post relating to this topic that isn't in the New Mombasa Forum to the New Mombasa Forum.

So guys try not to let the 24th of August get on your nerves. Bungie and Microsoft definatly have something planned for the 24th - They've told us that much. None of you guy's can tell me you don't like surprises. Good things come to those who wait, and waiting is what we're doing.

I'd also just like to make it obvious to you guys that the moderators here are clearly doing a great job. There's a new thread every 5 minutes and most the time it's old information. There's a post there started by Stykur which has 205 pages and over 5000 posts.
Have respect for the moderators here even if you don't agree with their decision. It's not easy to moderate a forum like this, let alone moderating a forum with a topic that includes the whole world.

EDIT: Oh Yeah, Mods incase you didn't know - Your doing a great job keep up the good work.

[color=white]D.C., I can't dispute most of what you've said, and as I'm going offline in a minute, I won't be able to discuss much of it either, but I ask you to consider this--for the majority of the new people posting on bungie.net, their posts are about as involved as they're apt to get before the game releases.
Some go above and beyond in their dedication to the game (I don't have a list of them, but I know them when I see them), and take their involvement as their reward. I wish I had the time to be as involved as some (Anton P Nym (aka Steve) comes to mind).
I agree that a lot of the discussion about the bee thing is redundant, but before the bees, much of the posts on any of the forums (Septagon and the Underground were noteable exceptions) was redundant also.
I don't want to be redundant either, so I'll leave it at that.
I enjoyed reading your post.[/color]

We haven't been told anything. Don't take the moving of threads to New Mombasa as a sign that there's any link with Halo 2.

Mabe it was moved to New Mombasa because when that web site is talked about, Halo 2 speculation usually follows.

Don't question the ways of the mod.

You wouldn't understand, you obviously havent been a moderator yourself.

Once (if) you become one, you'll realise that just by having that status you'll cop crap sooner or later.
