I would say post it in the forums first because then we can still edit it, and submit it about a day later. That way people can look over it and double check so on the next day it will be clean (hopefully) when we submit it. Who's going to post and submit it?

Just one small thing to add, since everyone beat me to it.

In don't feed the trolls. Mention that means 'Do not encourage spammers and anyone who makes a derrogatory/inappropriate thread. In other words, do not reply. It takes being a better person not to."

Or something along those lines.

Well save the copy first at least then, whoever tries to make the new post.

I have my section of the guide saved on my hardrive and ready to submit. simply awaiting the arrival of the oher sections so we can strike in one massive blow.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

Sorry, I didn't read all of the posts, but I have an idea as well. If there is a flamer/spammer, try PMing him. For example, when charizard post the link to -blam!- in my thread, I PMed him about it. He responded the the Baby Muppets theme song, and rather than telling him to shut up, I went along with it. I responded with something along the same line, and he responded. We ended up trading several links to funny sites, and right before he was banned (assuming he was, we can't be sure) he made a thread entitled "I'm retiring". He made one last joke, though (If anyone needs to contact me, go here (with here being a link to the -blam!- pic)), which I believe got his thread annhilated.

So there are two possible morals to this story.
1) Be encouraging. People will respond better to praise and humor than to put downs.
or...
2) I'm gullible and he was lying about retiring. But, for some reason, I don't think that's true. He think he really was telling the truth.

I hope that this was helpful, and that at least one of you learned from it.

Edit- sorry, I just finished reading all of the posts, and I guess I need to get with the times.

This is not a general discussion forum. This is not a spamming forum. It is a forum for off-topic stuff. Off-topic does not mean what's your favorite food, color, or type of music. Off-topic means what's your favorite food to eat while playing Halo, favorite color to use in multiplayer, your favorite non-Marty music. Make your topics at least a bit about something related to Bungie. The forum's original intention was for non-relevant posts that didn't belong, like MC vs. someone. 70% of the posts there now are completely unrelated to Bungie or their games, so why talk about them at a Bungie site? There are general issue forums elsewhere on the web to talk about your English teacher's new haircut. The way most people talk, you'd never know if they've ever played a Bungie game in their life.


I disagree. It is described as the "off topic forum. Say your stupid things here." To me that means it does not have to relate to Bungie. All sections of Bungie are covered in the other forums. And not everyone is a member of several different sites. If I am a member of any other site, I can't remember which ones they are. It's easier to have a general forum on one popular site than having to sign up to whatever site hosts what you want to talk about.

Please, tell me why I'm wrong. I enjoy arguing about stuff like this. I either learn something or teach someone else something when I have an argument like that, which is good either way.

bah

When we were originally discussing the Flood as a possible forum for off-topic stuff, it was meant to help control the number of posts which were slightly off-topic. Once it was up, it just slid right down the hill. Now, I guess I don't know what it's for.

P.S. I tihnk Banshee Barron should make the forum post since he's never had a sticky. [color=blue]:[/color][color=red]P[/color]
