Subject: Halo 3 forum troubles..

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Yep these kids are all going to be wrong when the game comes out...... They all think that their opinion matters... We need more mods their.... I bet their are like three right now there.


No need to be mean about it, people are just excited

This place has been very boring for the past fiew months. people are happy and are ready to talk.

Be happy that the members are all posting and taking part. I havnt seen many off topic threads. Its fun seeing what crazy ideas people have come up with. Enjoy this BOOM now.

Awwww, all those poor little kids and their complaints of how they didn't get what they wanted in Halo 3.

There are limits on users already, both in times between posts as well in the number of topics per 24 hours.

The problem is more that there are LOTS of users. Bungie.net's traffic increased by a factor of 4 today, and shows little signs of going back down soon.

I would delete the halo 3 forums and start over allowing a certain amount of threads to come in slowly causing lack of threads but slowly letting more... in like a limit of threads per hour.

For some strange reason, something tells me that if Achronos were to delete the forum, we'd have a Hydra-like problem. Delete the forum, and people would just start all over again, and they would be joined by newer members at that point.

All that can really be done is to help the mods and wait it out. Right now may not the exactly the best time to make threads in the forum regardless.

Eh so there is a certain amount of threads someone can make? Or just posts... thread filers would be good.

I'm awfully sorry to the thread creator, but I really must insist you stop whining right now.

Apologies. I did not mean to spam. I should have qualified that statement. I just find the deploring and hand-wringing attitude of the thread creator more than a little nannying. The mods are clearly doing the best job they can in there, but I don't see how it's affecting his ability to post. It's not affecting mine. Let the frothing fans have their discussion, so long as they don't break any rules. It's not their fault they love Halo so much.

Way to bring down the house.

No one was complaing about the job the moderators are doing. Hes saying that it's just a random spam fest in there and that people who go in there get confused easily(Me).

Deleting the forum would just make them come here and post 28 pages of "where did Halo 3 go!!!"


That and the mods are doing an outstanding job *sheepish grin*
They weren't kidding about having larger foot for ass planting.

Wow. I came here to make a thread about this same thing and it's been being discussed without me for awhile now. *tears*

Seriously though, is it just me or are there like 6 trillion new members trashing the new H3 forum?

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

Its a metlting pot of users...people from the Flood, New Mombasa, Ex- Zanzibar users, and others are coming together...

If theres a bright side to any of this, the Flood Vs Zanzibar conflict is over, and now introducing the new and improved New Mombasa.

Problem is they think that trailer gives away things that happen in the story and people make all these conclusions like about master chiefs mjolnir armour.... about how its tanish. and it explains in the announcemenet article...... That forum is just to much to keep up with. and people are making alt accounts and posting to many threads very annoying........... Im just saying that I wish it was a forum where the people don't make some rumors and lies... I am very frustrated...

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

I just created a thread about Mister Chief in H3, and it disappeared during the time it took me to read another thread.

It's nuts in there.

but seriously 29 pages in one day... its sad.... its obviously duplicated... all over one trailer.

It certainly is amazing. One little video. One small sample of information and nearly everyone there is somehow coming to conclusions and drawing results all from the same data from a possible cutscene in a game that is still in development.

Stunning. I didn't know that many psychics could exist.


Then obviously you aren't psychic!

A factor of 4?????

Wow.
