'A wide open place for PC halo players to come and chew the fat.'

Yes, well I decided not to mention that, cos...well they dont care.

On that note, I hope they do support halo 2 PC.

I still get annoyed when I see the AFK's in servers for hours on end, and the usual TK'ers leaving and rejoining before the ban limit.

It's still called 'The Maw' because it has history. It's been The Maw for so long that even if they did change the name, we'd still call it The Maw.

On the topic of support for Halo2PC; Yes I'm sure Bungie will support the game as it will be thier first game released for Vista. As such, you can expect some bugs in both the game and the OS, which will require patches, updates, and tweaks of all sorts.

It can be called the maw forevermore, but many newbies to the forum dont know where to discuss it.

Are you supposed to discuss it in the maw, or new mombassa?

Read the description a little more carefully please:
A wide open place for PC Halo players to come and chew the fat.

Note that it doesn't limit itself to Halo1PC. Instead, it's a place for PC Halo players. Halo2 will be on the PC. There will be players. Hence, those players will come to The Maw, which is the dedicated forum for said players of PC versions of Halo.

Well said McKeegan.

The Maw is my home I don't want them to change it. Look there is my recliner. *points to chair* There is the network room where we go to play the Gatherings. *points to room with 16 Gaming PC's networked together* There's the room we send people when they get to hyper. *points to room with small reinforced glass window. Master Kim is seen peering out of the window, and padding can be seen on the wall behind him* There are even trap doors in the ceiling so the ninja's can get in here easier *points to the small hidden trapdoors in the floor and ceiling.* What more could you guys want?

Besides a search feature and karma system or at least a post count, but let's not wish upon windmills or what ever the expression is.

Naw Igg, you're limiting your options. Think:

As Iggwilv had said, The Maw forum is my 3rd home (my house=my 1st home, my school=my 2nd home). I get lots of advices and lessons based on technological problems, I get to sometimes show off my recent Halo skillz to some of the cool people here, and I'm not really sure if everyone here respects me for a member or not, but I certainly respect them. Especially Iggwilv, Master Kim, Nod3, IceIcebaby, and K121Widowmaker. I've also made some good friends here at The Maw, such as Joe9800, fastmatt, SomeGuy(he joined my clan), and also Guyz One(he also joined my clan). I made bungie.net my homepage, and everytime i turn on my computer, I always sign on b.net forums, even though I have nothing to post/read about. I try to help all the new people out with Halo and technological problems, although sometimes I'm rarely a help...Anyways, we also gather every few days a week for the Maw gathering, and also the Humpday gatherings. They're alot of fun, and it's a good way to make fun of your peer Maw citizens by shooting them in the head...lol j/k.

So basically, The Maw's name can be changed if they want it to be, but we will always call it "The Maw" by our past memories of fun and mockery.

ImSpartacus, please don't double post, and spell correctly. Thank you.

And "FTW" means "For The Win" if I'm not mistaken.

This forum tends to go through a series of cycles. When I first joined, it was a fun, friendly place full of sportsmanship and good advice. Then it began degenerating as members left the Maw, eventually turning into a place full of spam and flames. Afterewards, it turned back around yet again into a helpful place, and so on and so forth.

My point is this: The Maw's pattern is cyclic, it'll recede and grow, then recede and grow all over agin. As of now, I think it's just coming out of a recession (full of flames and spam), but I don't think it's too safe for me to come back just yet. I'll return eventually, of course, but the question is when.

Hm...

The Maw is the best forum, hands down. Suck on that, Flood!

I made a lot of friends here too. I mean, i ask a question, I get good respectable answers, and then Igg and TUI K-121 changed it all when they had hump-day gatherings and stuff with the DS. Man that is just awesome, fun, and a great way to play with the maw guys, and meet new people too.

If they kill off the Maw like they did to the Zanzibar (poor halo 2 multiplayer players), I'm gonna go beserk brute style.

Tch, what are the Zanzibar members whining about? They already have Optimatch and New Mombassa, they should be grateful they had three. There's no Halo PC multiplayer discussion forum, now is there?

But yeah, don't pave paradise, and put up a parking lot.

It's probably called The Maw for another reason, too. There's a mouth painted on the side of the flamethrower at the top of the page, that flamethrower also happens to be Halo Mac/PC only.

Like others have said, it has history, its been called this for so long it cannot be changed, plus its an awesome name, beats the library and New mombasa and all the others anytime, and also beats any other forum defintion, big time, lol.
