Hi there, I just wanted to say a few things about the New Mombasa forum (Halo 2). I really hope this doesn't cause anyone offence, I'm just saying how I feel.
It is in my view that as of recently, New Mombasa has gone sour. No longer can anyone make a good thread there without (it seems) some idiots Flaming and/or Spamming. And without causing offence, the people doing it are obviously quite young and don't even bother to read or respect the rules. I consider myself an 'older' member in the sense that I'm 18, and I really enjoy coming here (to chat about things, and just generally take part). Now, I've nothing against talking to younger members on here (some of them have cool ideas etc), but I've noticed that there's not many people on here I can converse with (talk to) on a more mature level (that is of any age).
But, the main reason I've decided to make this thread is because of this. In the weekly update thread by Frankie (which is in the Underground Forum), he very recently posted on page 13 saying the following....

Halo 2 comes out on Nov. 9th or Nov. 11th for the UK. It does NOT come out on Aug 24th. You know what does come out on Aug. 24th? Some OXM special which does NOT, and I repeat does NOT have a Halo 2 demo on it. No clue how that rumor gained so much momentum. But to reiterate, Halo 2 comes out Nov. 9th or Nov.11th for the UK.
Sigh.
Straight after he posted on this, It was pointed out to me by ash55 and I posted a thread about it in New Mombasa. To my surprise (and a few of the Moderator's), people actually started saying "I don't believe him", "he's denying that ilovebees has anything to do with it", and best of all, "he's not a real Bungie employee"!! If people don't believe the Facts they are given, then in my opinion (and for the sake of the forum), the rules need to get a lot stricter. And I'm also a bit tired of seeing the same threads getting re-made all the time (not even once a week/month, in some cases it can be up to 5 threads a day on the same thing).
I'm having a bit of a rant I know, but it's only because I REALLY enjoy coming here and it's what is on my mind. Tell me what you people think and maybe even suggest some way/s of making it better; does anyone fully agree with me or some of the things I have to say, or maybe you disagree with me?
Thank's for taking the time to read this thread anyway, I'd love to have some feedback :)
