Actually ...
In a blind taste test people prefer pepsi over coke, while when the labels are on people prefer coke and this is because people have a certain view of the brand.

The same thing could be applied to the flood, right now I see the flood as "The forum that attacks other forums" now that invisioning makes me more likely as a regular forum goer to be up for any attacks, while if it's name was changed to lets say just "The off-topic forum" I'd see it as a new forum for off-topic things and be more likely to be "not up" for other forum attacks.

Granted with the fact that the flood is also called the off-topic forum that name isn't advisiory but you get the point.


Can you link the threads that are coordinating the "attacks" on the Reach forum because I've asked you twice now and two other people have said they can't find it either. I think you just like the Reach forum (you said the Flood and Reach are the same but you want the Reach forum to stay) and had a couple spammers so you pinned it on the flood, so please link the threads.

Again true, I guess it all comes down to personal opinion on how much trolling annoys certain people, its a tricky one.
Personally I don't mind people that troll because I just find another thread, I don't see it as too much of an inconvenience.

Yeah, I personally don't see it as a inconveniance though, I see it as degrading the forums further.

I mean the Reach forum is bad enough, are threads about nyan cat which consist soley of people repeatedly typing "NYAN NYAN NYAN" for the full length of their post really helping?

If anything that would lower the quality of the average post even further.


I mean what if the flood started attacking here?
Would it really be so civilised as it is now?

Not to say that this forum is perfect just that there aren't that many issues.

"I'm afraid of the man I'll become if I lay my life down for the people I don't even care for"

Nah, we need to keep it around. It's not as bad as other off-topic forums out there in the mysterious land of the Interweb

Besides, the regulars are nice :=)

You can't haz mudkip.

Why do you speak of he Flood as if it was a single entity? It's a forum full of people, and it's an off-topic forum, so it's bound to have some stupid crap on it. Every forum spawns several stupid threads everyday.

Just take away the name "The Flood" for some reason that name seems to give some members a sense of entitlement and that they need to "attack" other forums because they are a Floodian. ^It's like his point, The Flood makes it sound like the forum is a single entity, when only a minority of the people are starting the attacks.

Nuking the Flood would be a bad idea though, they'd have to go somewhere, and they'd mostly likely end up turning other forums into "off topic forums".

It's also one of the best video game forums I have seen, so I see some use to it.

I actually want the Reach forum to go too, in fact after Bungie day I'm expecting the removal of all Halo-related forums, or at least shortly after their new title gets announced.

Also I never said there was threads, I just said that threads about nyan cat that are spammed with posts that contain nothing but "NYAN NYAN NYAN" throughout their entirety that are created by regular floodians that never even visit the Reach forums just screams "Flood attack" not to mention the "Revolution is starting" and other posts on there.

Lets put it this way. Getting rid of the flood will just spread it's population into the other forums.

Then it will become utter chaos.

  • 07.04.2011 6:00 PM PDT

Friends before pixels.

And now we're royally -blam!-ed.

"Spartans never die, if only that were true..."

Check out my friend's and I YouTube videos!

One of my better moments.

We the Flood would like to keep our public forum. We enjoy being ourselves.

  • 07.04.2011 6:01 PM PDT

So, if I understand you want to nuke the flood cuz we "attack" other forums? when we don't I haven't seen an attack thread in months.
Have you ever messsed with a beehive? You piss off a group of people and you expect us to roll over and take it?

And there are no Nyan cat threads on the first two pages of the Reach forum, unless they are under different names but I doubt they did that seeing as most of the threads are about Reach stuff not spam.

Goodbye...

I tried going there a couple times but I come to Halo's designer's website discuss Halo.

Personally, I came to this site to make Forge maps for Forgehub back in Halo 3, with a must older account, obviously.

I made an alt with a different email (which is now my current account that I use all the time) and became a member of the Reach forum. During my time there, it was drilled into my head that the Flood was a pisshole.

However, after Reach was released, I was disappointed, both by the game quality, and the Reach forum, so I went to the Flood. And you know what?

The Flood is awesome.

Deal with it.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

I, leader of the Flood, wish to reconcile with our domestic partners.

We deny any recent and/or past attacks on fellow forums.


Anymore threats/plans to rid the Bungie.net forum of the Flood will result in immediate termination and secession of the United Flood Members (referred to as UFM from this point on) from the Bungie.Net community.

The UFM is the second most active forum on this website. Secession of it will severely decrease web-traffic and be severely detrimental to the survival of Bungie.Net.


The UFM would like to make a small request. We wish the immediate termination and removal of forum: "Halo:Reach" for it's uselessness. It provides no purpose other than various flaming, and highly successful trolls. This, on a much greater scale than the UFM. If our immediate needs are not met, you will be met with sufficient force to topple your empire. You will not survive.

We capture.
We kill.
We assimilate.

-The Flood

I'm not against the content of the flood, I'm against the content that seeps out of the flood.

That could be true, for a while, but assuming most of the other forums get deleted also (All the Halo forums) moderation of said chaos would be simple and the floodians would just retreat back to private groups until a new "flood" is created.

The flood could be seen as a cesspool. But it isn't half of what makes most of the cesspools on the internet. It's an off topic forum. Of course it's going to be the way it is. If this website was ever going to have a place designated for general discussion then it should be prepared to accept what comes with it. This site has a hell of a lot more members than it used to. What The Flood might have been once, it's not going to be again.

A perfectly viable solution to anyone's personal problem of despising what is posted there for the most part would be to just not visit the forum.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Do you see what you've done, Murdur? You're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem!

I think the big problem are all of those "Floodian Army/Defense Force" groups.

I've reported a few of them, but those are only the ones I've seen.

Again, this would be solved by taking away the title "The Flood".

  • 07.04.2011 6:06 PM PDT

'Nuking it' would solve nothing. If anything that would just cause the same stupid people to move to other forums.
