Coming back from a long dormancy, I have a request. To the moderators, Achronos, or the web team.
Nothing against this, I fully understood why, even to the point of agreeing-
When I wrote that long 13-page thread "The creation of Halo 4" it is now called -some of you might remember it being on the top form topics- it was locked a while after Bungie stated they were "no longer managing the Halo universe". Right. I really do agree, it doesn't fit in the universe forums, or anywhere but the flood.
So, since then, I made a huge overhaul and posted it, expanded, updated, and matured in the 343 forums at halo.xbox.com, and to say the least, it's certainly depressing to think of it in it's current state.
I wrote and updated that thread because of two reasons.
1. To try and give ideas to the development of Halo 4.
2. Entertain the community.
While the creation of Halo 4 rots somewhere in the depths of halo.xbox.com with a total of twenty-one posts over the course of many months, it cannot fulfill either objective.
It has entertained twenty people in the 343 forums, as opposed to hundreds in this relatively active community being in the top forum topics here on bnet,
And as long as 343 doesn't hire a team to read through every single thread on their website, my thread is going to be sitting in a dumpster until I give it an occasional bump- and one to many bumps would get any thread locked.
So, second attempt-
I tried posting it in the flood.
But that's the last place where concept threads go, I would even go to the extent to say, if it doesn't fit anywhere else, it goes here in exception of concept threads for Bungie or 343's next game. It did not receive any attention after a numerous bumps over the course of a few days. If it gained any popularity, I would not be writing this thread.
So here's what I am requesting.
I'm asking that anyone who can, moderators, web team, etc. to allow me to post this thread back into the Universe.
I'm going to be honest.
The 343 forums suck. For those who are unfamiliar, there are usually less than five people viewing every forum. That's someplace you would expect new threads to be created faster than posts.(Just checked the website, "zero people in the past five minutes")
Not meaning I have anything against the 343 forums, BS Angel's cool, but who, who even goes there?
The 343 forums is NOT the place for any long term, long length-ed, thread, especially because they don't even have a top forum topics section where a good thread can stay afloat without constant bumps!
I remember that huge... what is it... Halo: Reach thread that was the harbinger to invasion gametype? The guy who wrote is is now an absent member, but anyways for those who are unfamiliar, it is probably the longest-holding and largest(not in OP length but in posts) thread ever. It was about everyone starting in ODST drop pods, from there the match extends to a huge battlefield, with in-game purchasable weapons and vehicle drops.
It wouldn't of had been able to thrive or bring out Bungie's invasion gametype if we didn't have an active community and a top forum topics list!
My goal is to continue to entertain the community, and although there is little time left until Halo 4 is to be released, I still hope that 343 will take a look or notice my thread, and perhaps use some ideas for the next game, if they are already in the bug-squashing stage.
