Subject: Oh the irony...

"I will show you how a true Prussian officer fights!"

"And i will show you where the iron crosses grow..."

- "Cross of Iron"

I just had en epiphany on what its like to tell someone to discuss Halo elsewhere and i have to say it is the weirdest thing and still doesn't feel right.

So community id like to ask you how it feels to turn people away from Bungie when discussing Halo? From bad mouthing the person or explaining the switch in detail!

I try not to, because it seems so wrong to not link them to the optimatch forum.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

I try to be as disparaging and rude as possible. I also try to throw in some mix of how I'm far superior to them for knowing this information and how trivial and worthless they are for not knowing it.

Or perhaps I'm just confusing myself with a large amount of posters I've observed.

Yeah being rude seems to be more popular. I like to take the kind approach.

I tell people to go somewhere else all the time. It's my thing. I'm the proverbial shepherd to these misguided sheep. I have no problem with it.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve.

I tend to be nice though, for the time being. It it's still an issue 3 or 4 months from now, I might start raging at people.


Edit: And those are just from yesterday.

I send them to the correct on-site forum, and remind them that they should go to 343i for official Halo discussion. This way, the old forums still get some love. (<3 you, Halo PC forum.)

Same, except for situations when it's a question about in-game support or asking for a feature or something like that. Then the reach forums are an inappropriate place to send them no matter how much you want them to "get some love".

The more I say Chang the more asian it sounds.

You see, you've got to let them know their place here. It's not turning them away or anything, but they must understand that they're in the wrong dug out when it comes to discussing Halo related stuff.

I havne't really bothered doing that yet. If you feel compelled to do so, though, it's better to PM the OP. If you post in the thread, you're just bumping an off-topic, out-of-place thread yourself.

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.

I love it.

I love it.
but I think they mean nicely turning them towards 343i or halo sites, not your personalized Nambla page.

Depends on the circumstance, if your helping the individual i wouldn't consider it bumping.

I see what you did there...

Halo will always be discussed in this community, it's our souls practically.

Whenever someone posts something in the wrong forum, I always point in the right direction.

1) Where is the irony...? I was expecting some. ;-)

2) I don't think I have actually told someone to discuss Halo elsewhere, yet. It does seem odd though, considering this is where it all began.

Well the irony is you turn people away from what was essentially Halo central to another Halo site. It may be mild but it is there!

Ah, I see. With that said, aren't we still allowed to discuss Halo in the Halo: Reach Forum?

=)
