I seriously hope things get better over there, and with American schools soon being back in session, that should no doubt help. (No offence intended, same over here in the UK in September).

And randomly for instance, I've just come home from a friends house (Comrade_Max) after playing HaloPC all night! I'm in a good mood, I kicked a little bit of arse (stress the 'little' though, but i'm a great Warthog driver!) and I'm in the mood for talking about how good Halo 2's multi-player is going to be. I'm 18 and the most exciting things to me at the moment are my Lady, my band getting signed and, HALO 2!! I just wish I could share some ideas with people in New Mombasa (not crap, good valid points) and you know, speculate a little without being mowed down with stupidity. Luckily, there are some cool people on here that I talk with over MSN (ash, 'Zamamee and the rest of WotP Clan<<shamelessly cool plug there!).

But in all fairness, things have been good! I really enjoy coming here and when the game gets released, all the crap will drift.

And just randomly, what happens to New Mombasa after Nov 9th / 11th? Does it just turn into another Library or will the two merge etc because the game is out? (Just curious)

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

The state of New Mombasa? I thought it was a city!?!

Some people only believe what they want to believe. Others are just idiots. Many of them are attention whores. That and a post whore have to be the worst types of whores because what good is a whore who won't sleep with you?

And remember, it's these retards that are the reason Halo has sold 4 million copies. I am so afraid to play Halo 2 on XBL because there will be way too many idiots. Kind of like Mech Assault but Mech is one of my favorite games. But I find less idiots on RS3 which is why I want to go to gamestop to buy Black Arrow. But look at me, just babbling again about senseless stuff and getting off topic.

Eh, if anyone wants, I have some nice forums, that are unspam filled. You don't have to join my clan to use 'em. ;) Idiots are banned. Can't IP ban, though, becuase it's weird...don't feel like explaining. But yeah, if you'd like to discuss Halo in a mature manner, visit my forums. ;) How's that for a plug, Jay? :)

this is my first time posting in the Septagon and its alot diffrent then New Mombasa. i just wanted to give my support to the mods for doing a good job. they do a thankless job alot of the time and they unfortunately get alot of crap for just trying to help out people who hate spam by locking topics. i think that the mods should recruit new mods to help police new mombasa. the spammers have turned our glorious new mombosa into a spammers heaven. unfortunately the title at the top of new mombasa has become tru ( New mombasa east african megalopolis now all but destroyed)

[color=crimson]I had been pondering the idea myself. I'd like an answer as well. My thoughts are that the Library may merge with the Underground, because once Halo 2 comes out, Halo will technically be considered Oldschool.

I also thought that it might merge with New Mombasa, and that will be for Halo/Halo 2 discussions, but I considered that unlikely what with the expected wave of newcomers, and the fact that they will all be talking about Halo 2.

The third idea that crossed my mind would be that nothing would happen the Library, but it would eventually merge with the Underground once speculation begins for Bungie's new game after Halo 2, whatever that may be.[/color]

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"!!

I think deep down inside they know Frankie is right, they are just so hurt they were wrong about being "positive" Halo 2 was coming out then, that they denied it.

Nice post Jay.

We are trying to take New Mombasa back. Just look closer, there are a few posts in there with some intelligent blurbs. Just gotta grin and bear it, it will all be over soon hopefully...

True, pal. It should get a lot better with the schools going back soon etc.

Yes good post Jay, I would also like to say that there are alot, perhaps too many sticky threads in New Mombassa. Also I think if the mods voiced their opinion more and threatened/locked threads more, it might help the problem.

By the way highlight Jay's sig.

thankyou all of you, you seem like the sensible people that are prepared to use these halls of bungie as they were intended and it indeed seems that the ones that call themselves fanboys are less loyal than they think of themselves

i hate to repeat everything everyones said,but this is my first time outside of new mombasa,and i have to say its a better enviroment altogether.theres no small insignificant posts repeating aug 24 and how it will rock and how frankies wrong.when im on the site i try to make sure my posts at least have a point.this forum is so much better,and i can see myself posting here first before wandering the overgrowth that is new mombasa...

Just make sure you don't stray off topic when you post here.

Veteran member of The Frozen Minority.

I tend to stay out of New Mombasa. I posted my "don't ruin Halo2 for those who don't have it yet", you guys who've been here before the new hotness knows exactly what I'm talking about. Well, way back when it was a good reminder, some of the by's (ie. Banshee, SinisterPig, etc) encouraged the whole idea of me posting a thread like that everynow and then just to keep up with the new comers. Now a days, they just laugh at me and say I'm stupid, and quote unquote "-blam!-". Ugh. Kids these days...

Yes, the only problem is, I have school...so I guess I won't be able to bask in a unspammified forum. Oh well.

But the New Mombasa forum has degraded so much, that I would rather be in the Flood. At least there's some humor to be found there. New Mombasa is just all caps, and bad grammar.

it's going to be a sad day in new mombasa on august 24th, there will be so much "i told you so" and "you're wrong" that it won't even be funny. i'm just gonna avoid new mombasa for a week or 2 after the 24th

I think the best thing to do would be make rules stricter on those who spam. The karma stat thing would work good if it was done right.

Thanks for reminding me of something I'd rather forget. However, there is the Official Apology thread that offers some hope for redemption: http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=514134

I'm afraid I vented a bit there, but conduct towards Alta has been so shameful this summer and so symptomatic of greater social ills here it was that or blow an artery. When did we humans decide to use the "lay 'em and leave 'em" reproductive strategy?

-- Steve keeps looking for the "spray user's keyboard with Mace" button which should be next to the "Quote" button. That's kinda antisocial in itself isn't it?

I have to agree with Jay as well, I'm starting to find other Halo 2 forums better then the ones here mainly because a large majority of the people that post there don't seem to act mature at all... =S

Hopefully, besides complaining about aspects they won't like, I hope they forum has more of a future, even if it doesn't start till after Halo 2 officially comes out...

No offense to the mods though, It's nice to know that they stick around with all the nonsense that shows up on that board... =]

Well I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's a 'tad' sorry for that forum then.

PS, look at [color=wh ite]this[/color] crap as another example of people's stupidity. The 'Bungie' weekly update has this week been presented by Bungie Princess (Alta), and some -blam!- idiots started flaming, crying for there "Halo2 fix".

Ar**holes.
