Subject: All the forums have a cool name except the Halo 3 forum...

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Maybe you could rename the Halo 3 Forum, "The Ark". Everything else has a cool name but the Halo 3 Forum is just called "Halo 3 Forum"... Wassup wit' 'dat?! :)

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I noticed this as well. But it's probably so there is no confusion, and new members will automatically know which forum to go to.

dude, you pulled a jesus!

It's probably because nothing about the game's plot... actually not much of anything... has been mentioned. Notice how other froums like New Mombasa and the late Zanzibar were given the name based on something in the game.

My guess: We'll see a cooler name when more info on the game arrives...

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

Many of the forums (not all) will probably eventually be renamed to better reflect their subjects. For example, while "The Flood" and "The Septagon" are probably appropriate titles for those respective forums, "The Maw" is completely non-obvious that it is the Halo PC forum.

There are many, many changes going to happen between now and the release of Halo 3. We've got some great stuff planned that is way more interesting than name changing some forums. :)

Im glad its called 'Halo3 forum'

otherwise, all of theb other forums would get spammed more.

Hopefully with a name like "Halo 3 Forum", people will be able to figure out what kind of topics might belong in said forum. Halo 3 topics, perhaps?

There is a small explanation of the forum below the name. I don't really see it that hard to read it.

Damn monkey... Stomach pump, stat! =P

If the name stems the tide of threads in the wrong forums even a little, then I am a fan of it. =)

I'll be on my own side.

Well, they can't really name the Halo 3 forum without giving away some sort of information. If they called it The Ark, that would be basically confirming that the huge artifact is the Ark. Obviously, they don't want to do that.

The Ark would be a good name for the Halo 3 forum, though. I'm sure there are better names, but right now we don't know anything about the locales in Halo 3 other than the African desert.

I've never seen so much gold text in the forums. Achronos must have cloned himself.
