Subject: The Halo 3 Forum needs a name

I'm one of those storm chasers that will never have a TV show because I don't scream at clouds.

I was looking at the forums list to the right here and noticed that the title for the Halo 3 Forum is just that, the Halo 3 Forum! It needs to have a name like the other forums on this site, like how there is the Library for Halo 1, New Mombassa for Halo 2. and The Maw for Halo PC. Are the site master people just going to wait until the game comes out and make the name the same as one of the levels? Personally, I think The Ark would be a great name for the forum for now, and it could be split into multiple forums later like what happened to the Halo 2 forums when the game came out.

Achronos gave an answer in this thread concerning a name for the Halo 3 forum.

The basic answer is: Not just yet. Or: Soon™

If they changed it now, everyone will misplace their "OMG h3 is out" threads. Plus, any name might give away some story plot. I like Halo 3 Forum's name with all its simplicity.

Bungie.net explodes. Try it at home, kids*!

All the other forums have names that have to do with the plot of the story. If you read the Halo 3 FAQ, You'd realize Bungie doesn't really wanna give out any plot details yet. Just wait, It'll get a better name eventually.

$x='print chr(36),"x=",chr(39),$x,chr(39),";\n",$x; ';
print chr(36),"x=",chr(39),$x,chr(39),";\n",$x;

I work at Microsoft. I have nothing to do with Halo and nothing I say is "the official word".

I assumed they didn't want to give away some plot detail by giving it a name just yet

Many thanks for pointing out that other thread. Kind of funny how I came up with the same name the other guy did! Oh well. It was just a thought.

Actually, when he says:

Many of the forums (not all) will probably eventually be renamed to better reflect their subjects.

He means that Halo 3 will stay the way it is, and others will change. As it is we have plenty of people unfamiliar with Halo coming in and posting wherever they please, causing our mods tons of work to move the thread, and then tons of work explaining why the threads were moved.
