Subject: Halo 2 forums no more?

If you do not already know, Halo is going to be fully transferred to 343i on March 31st. And this includes the freezing of stats and death of Bungie Pro, a rendering service for H3, ODST and Reach. More to the point, it seemed as if the game forums may be discontinued. And this quote gave my fear purchase-

what about the forums? and our nameplates?


This question has come up several times. As of the final crossover, you will no longer be able to manage that here. We are unable to comment on what functionality 343 will provide on that front.


-If I'm reading this right, our forums will be deleted, just as the Optimatch and Voting Booth were taken down. However, DeeJ may only be talking about nameplates, but this is highly unlikely that he ignored the majority and beginning of the users post.

I have no want to go to the 343i forums, so I have created a group that will replicate our current forum. Obviously the chance of new members joining is slim due to popularity, but it while provide a haven for those who dislikes Halo Waypoint as much as I do.
Group link. And remember, all are welcome and nobody will be rejected unless for obvious trolling.

And to any mods saying this is irrelevant to Halo 2, I have read the forum guide lines and this post abides by them. Well, maybe not the group advertising, but this group is specifically for the current posters of this specific forum.

Thank you ghost. But this is all irrelevant unless we can get the rest of the Halo 2 forum members to follow action.

It's been confirmed now that the Halo forums aren't leaving during this transition, but they may be merged at some point.

I'm thinking of trying this one out:

http://www.343industries.org/forum/forum/57-halo-2/

Also - If this forum gets taken down then I would join you but I just don't see it happening. I have no information to back that up.

As others have said this forum isn't going anywhere. Besides, if it was deleted we could just start a private group to replace it. Hopefully we would have enough warning to have time to repost any important things (guides for one).

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the nameplates. Halo forums will stay around for a long while.

Yay!
but they may be merged at some point.
Noooo. I can live with the CE forums, and maybe the Halo 3 forums. But I refuse to live with the Reach and PC forums.

Terrible community, terrible moderators, terrible UI, etc...

Well, it looks nice. But I don't know. No point in not trying though.

The Oracle has spoken! Any way I need some proof of that. This is more technical than I originally thought.

So far it's not as sterile as the Waypoint forum but idk, I'll see how friendly they really are in due time.

I'll register in just a second.

By the way, for anyone reading, I'm not advocating dropping this forum. It's still my favorite forum to visit but the 343 forum may be cool or maybe not. If there's good people there then why not visit both, lol. Aren't the stats and such going from Bungie to 343 anyway?

Well, they'll be here. But they won't update. They will just be shown as a legacy. SO I'm probably going to fix my emblem up before the transition so I'll have a nice B.net avatar.

I'm not so certain that this will be taken down, however if it does, I welcome anyone still lingering in the Halo 2 family to join me elsewhere. Perhaps a private chapter? This particular forum board is special to me, as many of you know and probably feel the same.

I hear that they might merge all the game fourms into a single Halo fourm.

That sounded like a distant possibility, but not anything to worry about any time soon.
