Black Chapter, for all religious and political debate that doesn't fit in the Flood.
Most people here aren't old enough to remember real forum wars. Zanzibar and the Flood went to town on each other way back when, while I sat it out in New Mombasa.
Forums are broadly divided along interests lines, so there are differences in how they react to each other. I've never really been at home in a Halo game forum since New Mombasa, so I've been in groups, the Flood or the Community since New Mombasa died. The Halo 3 forum was quite a different place from the Halo 2 forums, and a lot of the older regulars really didn't care much for it. I'd guess Reach had a similar effect on the H3F regulars who had stuck around, and you tend to see a stratifying of the forum going population based on when they arrived.
Naturally, it doesn't help that the Flood as it is needs some serious improvements. Privilege, not a right. But no one is going to institute a system that makes the ability to post in the Flood reliant on good behaviour, account age and moderator preference. Shame, really, as it would really benefit from a reduced population with greater freedoms, while still being a public forum.
