Join Halo Haven! (Group Leader: A 3 Legged Goat)

(To discuss Halo 4.)

Why we should do this:

-Easier Moderation.
-Less stupid threads.
-Increase of the probability of a reply, since people looking to post about Reach will also notice and post in a CE thread.
-Less forums to take care of!
-The forums almost dead, an increase in speed would be appreciated.
-All Halo discussion would move out of the Flood in an ideal world.
-Random Halo vs X topics would stop ruining the Universe forum.
-Threads would be far more productive, more replies.
-Forum speed is slow enough not to mask out the threads in the other forums, especially the scenario of Reach topics overshadowing Halo 2 topics, or the older games.

This would be a temporary solution.

Thoughts?

Also, if Bungie does do this, please don't delete the older posts, or at least archive them temporarily so we can extract the good stuff!

I will forward this to the powers that be.

I see that the first point has swayed your judgement...

You hit the same ideas with that list. Simplify'd:
-Easier Moderation.
-Less stupid threads.
-More forum activity.
-Simplify posting in the correct forum.

How does it make itself easier to moderate? How would this prevent "stupid threads"? How could this increase those forums' activity? How does this prevent users from posting in the incorrect forums?

I agree with everything, except there is no way this would reduce the amount of stupid threads.

  • 01.24.2012 1:13 AM PDT

totally agree. Stupid threads will just continue to pop up everywhere,regardless of what happens

That'll work I guess. Also the annoying threads being spammed is the reason I gave up on the Halo forums and moved into the flood, so this would be nice.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

This is brilliant!

Not sure about the "less stupid threads" part, but it is a good idea.

I'm 99% sure Achronos already said this is going to happen.

The first one should be simple. One forum is easier to moderate than 5.

Less stupid threads: Usually when there is something of substance to discuss, it is around the time a game is released.
That substance is gone, and is compounded by the fact that it is harder to moderate. By combining the forums, the good threads will stay on top, the bad threads will be banished.

More forum activity: Easy. 10 people in 5 separate forums will not post as much as 10 people in one forum, more people to reply to. Also, if I post a thread on the CE forum, I probably won't get a reply. However, if the Reach forum guys can see my thread as well as Reach threads, I will get more replies.

Finally, all Halo related discussion would be there, instead of specific game threads. All the ban griefers, stat people, and whatnot would reside there, since it is the only forum with Halo in the name.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I made a thread about combining all the Halo forums into one to create the Halo Universe Forum. I don't see why not it woul d help in some cases.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

It's likely that they may condense the forums into one single forum once they announce their next IP. As for now, this isn't really an issue until said time occurs. I'm in favor of this, for sure; however, I will miss the Halo 3 forums. I spent a lot of time there many years ago :(
