Lords of Decay Clan

The classifieds are dead and have been so for quite a long time. Im really getting tired of seeing Mods throwing around their power on threads that are made in game forums trying to recruit and play with other players. I understand its in the rules but the rules need to be changed or something because their is not any activity on the classifieds as their used to be

No, I don't want to see this forum spammed with nonsense like that...

Well, the Classifieds wouldn't be dead if the people making recruitment threads in the wrong forums went where they were supposed to go. A forum's inactivity isn't an unofficial sanction to start breaking the rules.

You are not suppose to reply to threads in the classifieds. The point of the classifieds is that if you see a group or someone that wants to play, you PM them or join their group and find out about it yourself. If people replied all the time you would get the same groups just bumping the thread so that it would stay on the front page.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

But if the classifieds are empty, maybe that should say to you that people aren't looking for groups to join. That being the case, why the hell is anyone going to be interested in your recruitment thread?

Rules are fine.

YOU'RE FACE IS DEAD.

In all seriousness, the Classifieds have been dead ever since they implementing the no posting rule back in...actually I don't know. A long time ago.

Why are you reading my signature? Who actually opens these things and reads them!

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

The Classifieds were alive? I seem to remember that they were always the molasses in this sea of baking materials.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

The Classifieds has always had less activity than other forums. That doesn't make it ineffective.

But honestly, I think you may be right to the extent that we still prohibit teammate/player recruitment ads in the Halo: Reach Forum. In the Halo 3 and Halo 3: ODST Forums, I think we have allowed teammate/player recruitment ads for a long time.

Perhaps it's time to start allowing these ads in the Halo: Reach Forum as well. But perhaps not since Reach is still an active game being heavily played. I'll bring it up to the other Ninjas and the Web Team and we'll talk about it.

Pretty much all of the forums on this website are dead.

Nah not in the H3 forum far as I know. I see those threads locked still every now and again. ...Which I am OK with. If ads were allowed there? Even less of a reason for mods to go there. Lord knows it still has its fair share of bad threads.

when were they alive?

The classifieds have always been a bit of a frustration for me as well. I have had little response from any ad I have posted there.

This might be a good time to think about how to implement such things for Bungie's future title as well.

Thank you very much. I've been trying to find people to do the vidmasters in ODST and I'm trying to find people to play with in Halo 3. I've noticed that people who still play those games look in the forums and respond and thread in the respected games forums. Because the games are smaller communities now, I think we should be able to ask for help or teamate or something of that matter.
