Hey everyone,
I've been visiting Bungie.net for a while (I only recently registered), and I've been a member/lurker of HBO under a different name since early 2003. One aspect of the Bungie community and sane Halo fans that I've come to appreciate is how much more intelligent Bungie fans are than other fans of different games. It's great to have rational, coherent conversations with people who share the same interests. The screaming fan boys frothing at the mouth never really seemed to be a part of the crowd. Until New Mombasa. But don't get me wrong, I am most definetly in awe of it's subtlety. I think I've discovered a dual purpose of New Mombasa, that some have previously overlooked.
New Mombasa makes me appreciate every other forum more than I would had it not existed. Why? Drum roll...
It's a virtual prison! It's designed to protect reasonable people from the psychotic. It's masked as a place where idiots of all shapes, sizes, and ages can go and be free to (regurgitate mental diarrhea?) talk about Halo 2! While the rest of us withold premature judgements of Halo 2, quitely anticipate it's release, and read Frankie's updates.
New Mombasa has also led me to see the admins in an entirely new light. If one crazy should escape it's walls, and throw his thoughtless dribble on anyone in the other forums, CRACK! goes their admin rifle, and the given thread is either deleted or locked fairly quickly. They are snipers.
I, for one, appreciate New Mombasa as a shield for the other forums.
=D By the way, take this post with a grain of salt. I'm just playing around.
