I say there should be a forum where the halo novel readers can come around and disscuss things in the the halo novels without the (no offense) ocasional non-novel reader comes along and ruins your thread by being so certian that,

"HIS NAME ISN'T JOHN SPAM!
"Other spartans?? Chief is the only one left!
"Hes all robot!! (rarest of all)
"No such thing as doctor Hasley!

I could go on,

and it would prove that the halo novels are indeed cannon to the halo story line.

My point is, us novel readers need a place to come together and abnd for world dominatio... er... cough... um yes, consider this please.

If this has been discussed already, or there is say a thread or something on the next page, dont flame me, just simply lock this, vote and discuss.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

No, there's already enough Halo forums. The Flood or New Mombasa are already good places to discuss the books.

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

Actually, they're quite entertaining. Not just for "geeks".

Something tells me you haven't even read them. So what do you base your accusations on?

guys are annoying, but to make a whole other forum to solve the problem? Nah... And what of groups? I'm sure that you could find at least five different group factions on b.net devoted to decoding the books.

You could always go into the Classifieds and ask about novel-groups as well. But all you really need to do is get heavily involved in some 'storyline discussion' in New Mombasa... the groups wil then come to you instead ;)

I think it's a pretty good idea since the Halo novels don't really fall into a specific forum.

I don't think that halo novel forums are practical. I am a big fan of the books, but they don't need a forum.

That'd be hard to prove. Someone at Bungie said that it's not totally canon, because they didn't like some of the things included in the books.

I think.

That will never happen. It has now been merged with New Mombasa.

I would like to see an active gallery and voting booth.

honestly, they could replace the gallery with it, they never use it anymore.

I hated how they moved Zanzibar into New Mombasa. New Mombasa was like, the center for all intelligent discussion about Halo. It was awesome, I met a lot of the people I know very well now from that forum. Now its filled with the same whining jerks from Zanzibar.

You think wrong! Sort of!

"The books are, for better or worse, part of the canon. In the future we may choose to revise or flat-out ignore some of the less appealing ideas (Johnson's biological immunity to the Flood, for example), but folks should treat them as defining elements of the Halo universe."

Indeed you are sort of wrong. This thread has quotes from many bungie employees and Eric Nylund saying that the books should be taken/considered as cannon =)
