Which forum has the most locked threads? I think it has to be Underground, I mean I found alot of locked threads! I just don't feel comfortable posting anything in Underground related to it.

I'm going with the Underground.

After all, if people would do a few simple things (read the rules, the descriptions of the forum, other threads, and probably even just use their heads), then the mods wouldn't be locking so many threads. But since nobody listens, or even tries to think, there are so many locked threads.

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

I'd say optimatch, because barely anyone really talks about playlists

Yeah, this is the second one of his I have visited. What the hell is he driving at? Either he is trying to figure out how or where to post his erroneous threads or he is planning some kind of hostile takeover.

The latter is an entertaining thought...for me at least.

I know, I posted alot of these forums around Bungie...
....my bad
^_^
I just wanted to see which forum has the most locked threads in this forum and the other one was to ask why alot of Halo 3 topics were locked in Underground if it's related to Bungie. Finally, the first one I had to find out where do the forums REALLY go, I just got confused what Septagon does because it doesn't really tell me much at the main forum menu.
But seriously though, why are most of the Halo 3 threads end up being locked? I just need to know why.

P.S. How do you guys have those links in the forums where click on them and it sends you to that link? I see it on side where I write them, but I don't know how to use them. I can do this, I think and the rest, but I don't know how to make links in the forums

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Read the last line in my sig, and click the link. It will take you to a nice thread that explains how to link.

Short answer: Because most of the topics fall into one of three categories:

1) Repeat topics. (Halo 3 ideas when there is a thread for it. Rumors that have been discussed a thousand times, and are still being discussed on the front page.)

2) "Leaking" information about the Next Project. ("I played Halo 3!" "I went into Bungie studios...!")

3) Topic demands Bungie to do something. ("Tell me what Halo 3 is like." "Tell me what the next project is.") In other words: Just plain stupid threads. (You at least don't see a whole lot of them in comparison to the other two.

Wow. That is complicated...
Do I really have to write every little letter & number in it? Or can I simply "copy" and "paste"?

It usually is between Zanzibar, Optimatch, and the Underground. The Flood and the Septagon have significantly less locked threads most of the time.

0o0o I know this one! I know this one! It's the Flood!

Bungie is the best.

Simple as that.

Except for occasional moments where lots of threads are locked, the Flood has less locked threads.

I'm going with Zanzibar but you should have put in the Flood. It's not that the Flood is a really bad forum, but it's just that so many people think that it's an anything goes forum, so basically the main things is that it's a big misunderstanding in there, but they still have the most I think.

Yeah but still a small portion if not half, are some good people. Just because it has the most people doens't mean that all those people are bad so technically your reasons are flawed and tacos still taste good.

The Flood seems to have calmed down some. I don't go to Zanzibar enough to get a feel for that forum. The Underground has locked threads simply because of Halo 3 speculation. If only the voting booth and the gallery were alive enough to have problems . . .
