Before we start anything, let it be known that I am a fan of both Halo CE and Halo 2. I love both, and both are great games.
Could someone tell me the meaning of this?!
It looks like someone hacked the installation and changed the htaccess to redirect all traffic to the suspended.page site. We should have the forum back up and running (at the latest) by November 6th. Since that is the soonest I can meet with my web-developer and host server provider.
Thanks for your patience!!!
Alright. I know this is no fault of Bungie itself. That is why I have posted this here in the heart of the 7th Column. I post this here to show Bungie what a part their fanbase has become.
I know most people here don't H2S, with its radical views on Halo 2. I know there have been petty flame wars between this forum and there. I also know the mods here hate the site as well. I know the people there are characterized as over obssesed geeks with no life, but believe they are more than that.
The site www.halo2sucks.com is believe or not a good place to debate. I myself as a Halo 2 fan came there to do some flaming, but in the end I came back impressed. Most of the people make a valid point and do in gramatically correct manner. Additonally, I've found the place to be a great place to debate.
Now tell me why was the place hacked. I know only one person did it, but I guess a lot more probably want to high five the guy who did it. Was the place that much of a threat to Halo 2? Would it cause you to not like it? Perhaps if you really had such a view point and didn't know, but really, what the hell.
Now lets compare this forum we are talking on to H2S. Here we have open flaming without any real punishment. We have kids talking like "omg, u r teh suck". No one really checks their post for gammer anymore and anyone who oposes Halo 2 will be immediatly flamed. The vulgarity, while censored, is comparble to the imageboard 4chan with its "sage"es and its "no u. stfu -blam!-. gb2 /b/".
Compared to about years ago, this forum has entered degradation. Most likely because of Halo CE and Halo 2's populatrity, Bungie has allowed some bottom feeders into the fanbase. While Nintendo has some pretty stupid and other the top fans, but I don't think they have ever hacked a site that opposes their views.
I know the majority of the fanbase are still good and smart people, but still, this has got to stop. The hacking of H2S is unacceptable. Starting flamewars and unnescary conflicts can only get you on Fandom Wank...
