Subject: I think Another Weekly Update is in Order.

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

I think another weekly update is in order. But only for the purpose of telling the ignorant masses this:

Bungie is no longer managing the Halo Universe. While our Halo-related forums and stats remain available, be advised that "official" answers and support about the Halo Universe (past, present, or future) are not.

We're seeing too many people come to the Bungie forums for Halo problems.
Discuss?

They just want to complain or don't know about 343i...I think an update is in order.

What is the update you're proposing? As of right now I'm very lost in a sea of words and vague propositions.

There is a text at the top that is highlighted in a quote box when you go to make a reply that clearly states that this is the case. Not trying to shoot down your suggestion, because it is not working obviously. However, I think that's really all the effort that is going to be put into getting that message across.

Unfortunately, everyone somehow misses that little box when typing a thread or reply.

Bungie no longer controls Halo.
People still think Bungie controls Halo.
Bungie makes weekly update so everyone knows that Bungie no longer controls Halo.

Better?

We understand that as regular members. The same people not paying that any attention are the same people who probably won't read updates anyway. They seem to only post when they are pissed for being credit banned or whatever the issue is now and could care less about the community.

That's a good point. Suggested Fix?

Indeed. A few of the other forums I post in require a moderator's approval before they publish the first x amount of threads for a new user. Diligent trolls will bypass this of course, but the people who aren't trying to troll and just don't understand the change would be filtered out.

If people can't figure out to read that big box of text with a two sentance summation of the situation, how do you expect hem to find their way all the way to the front page, into a weekly update, and to then read more than five consecutive words?

That's what we're brainstorming. It's only a slight drizzle right now, really.

Not to be overly sarcastic, but who here doesn't think an update is in order? I think we all understand, but everyone wants something. Wanting isn't always getting though. Here's to hoping we get some free candy from Bungie soon.

This is actually the best idea. No sarcasm.

I don't think Bungie would waste their time to come out with an update like that if they have it posted at the top of the "reply page", even if 3/4ths of the community doesn't read it.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

If they don't bother to read a simple paragraph, what makes you think they'll read a whole Weekly Update about it?

"We live in a special time; the only time where we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time" - Lawrence Krauss.

I was a finalist :P

The weekly update is designed for the purposes of posting important and interesting information, and not to banter to the community about Halo related management before posting.

If people are unwilling to view the sea of those two, white sentences before they post a thread, then I doubt they would venture into a specific thread further describing the event, or, more likely, not even knowing about its existence.

Leave the news articles for cool stuff, and not for something which would just appear in a different colour text, basically outlining the same thing.

It would just be an update telling people to pay attention and read things properly.

Do you really expect them to read that either?

“Dinkleberg!” is a catchphrase used by the character Dad in the Nickelodeon cartoon show “The Fairly Odd Parents.” In the show, Dad has an unrelenting hatred towards the well-to-do and happy neighbor, Dinkleberg, who gets blamed for everything bad that happens. The phrase is used in a similar way, by giving the blame for everything bad that happened to Dinkleberg. This can vary from mundane day-to-day problems to natural disasters.

I think some of them might just be trolling.

We are still allowed to discuss Halo on the Bungie forums...it just means that they aren't paying attention to them anymore as makers/caretakers of the Halo games.
