No no, i liked how you expressed your opinion, you shouldnt have to change your words for anyone, especially someone like me.

Its your right to free speech and to express your views, make it how you wish


I'm just trying to stay in good terms with most of the people here. I don't want to abuse that right, so I'll make sure to keep it clear that I only want to keep things friendly.

Why do you keep calling people Chicken Little like it's supposed to prove your point for you?


It's basically a term that is used to describe people who want attention. What better way to get attention than to yell out:

"The sky's falling!"

Oh, and please, let's try to keep it friendly. If I offended anyone, I apologize. I don't want this to become a flame fest.
If we're a bunch of chicken littles, what does that make you? Someone who's trying to talk to a bunch of chicken littles?




That makes him a great big rooster who thinks he's smarter then the rest, nothing more


Well, if it came across like that, then I apologize again. I'm not trying to act "superior." I just wanted to make a point. If you want me to change it, then I will.


Listen guys, he's clearly not looking for a fight, and his intentions here are only to remain friendly and have only good ties with the other users.

Okay, in my opinion, this place is a mess. There are thousands of [repeat] threads floating around, and this place is falling apart at the seams. We need to keep our heads together, and many things need to be clarified for many of the members here. Let’s get a few facts straight, and let’s try to keep this place friendly. (I only have good intentions in mind, so if any of this comes across as an attack at certain users, that is not what I am trying to accomplish.)

First of all, let me say a few things about posting ideas here. Don’t post a new topic every time you have an idea for Halo 3. There are designated threads for posting Halo 3 ideas, including this one, so you don’t need to congest the forum with your threads. If you don’t think that your ideas will get read if you post them in a 400 page thread, then tough luck. If ten thousand other people can do it, then you can do it too. Don’t be selfish, and don't ask for attention by making your own thread.

Now, most of this is opinion, but I don’t think that it’s a good idea to post ideas (that you want Bungie to put in the game) on this forum in the first place. The thing that bugs me is that for every idea that you all post, that will be one idea that most likely won’t make it into the game. Why? Let’s pretend that we have a hypothetical situation…

Suppose Timmy posts an idea for Halo 3 on the forums. When Halo 3 comes out, whatever he suggested has somehow made it into the game. Whether or not Bungie read his idea or if they came up with it on their own, we don’t know. Anyway, Timmy wants credit for his idea making it into the game. He isn’t going to get it, though. So guess what? He decides to sue. We all know that Bungie will not have a huge problem dealing with this, but with hundreds of ideas being posted every day, the odds of at least ten people doing this are very high. I’m sorry to say it, but Bungie isn’t going to listen to any of your “suggestions.” Unless they specifically say that all ideas posted on this forum become their property, your ideas are probably not going to be looked at.

I don’t like it when grade school kids think they can boss Bungie around by posting their “ideas” and demanding that it be put into the game. Kids, stop asking for attention. None of you are video game designers, and I’m pretty sure that none of you know anything about what it takes to make a good game. Just stop demanding things like screaming toddlers. It saddens me, as well as many other members when we see the mass of nonsense that plagues these forums. Let Bungie make the game. If you want to discuss an idea, then by all means, go ahead and converse with your peers on this forum. But when you beg and cry with your “Please put this in the game, Bungie!!!”, you’re not helping at all. Just be quiet. Stop whining. The day a multi-million dollar corporation takes the advice of a twelve year old is the day that the sun disappears. It’s ridiculous.

Okay. Release dates. I will just say that anything you read or hear at Best Buy, EB, etc. is a lie. Unless you hear it from Bungie's mouth, it's not true. Remember, Best Buy is the company that sells traded in hard drives with all of your personal information still on it. If you think that you can trust them with release dates, then you might as well take candy from a stranger.

Anyway, just try and keep the forum clean. Don’t post anything unless it is in accordance with the rules, and perhaps in accordance with what has been said here.

Rant over. Please resume your normal activities.
I do not care if this is off topic. Good Sir, I take my hat off to you. You now have my respect.

Regardless of his intentions, there will always be that childish individual who has to rein in on our parade. I'm telling you, I'm getting sick of this place. It's falling to peices. I'd say that the forums don't have enough Moderators, but they do. There is what, fifty of them? I don't really want to come back here if this place in such a state. All I can say is: Fix it!

I'll have you know
that I've become
Indestructible!

When I joined 2 years ago, I heard rumors of the b.net in former times. Rumors of how it used to be so different. I never saw those times, but today the forums are far worse than they were 2 years ago.

I wonder how accurate the following saying is:
"Change and the world changes with you".

What should we fix? This forum, or all of the forums? I think we can start fixing this forum by:
--Not making any topics regarding teaser trailer theories.
--Not making any topics regarding release dates.

i agree with the lone heretic

there are still threads being made on this 2006 release date

so many RUDE people on this forum

MONTH OLD topics keep being reposted in new threads

there really is chaos everywhere in this forum

what i propose we do: lets try our own form of "moderating."

*if you see an off topic thread, suggest they change it to something on topic
*if you see excessive flaming, try to put it out
*help people who are confused

if we can help the mods out by doin this, i feel we'ed be doing the forum a big favor

Well, I do appreciate the comments, but I would like it if most of the derogatory comments were kept to a minimum.

Good idea but there would be so many conflicts. The amount of holes in someone's idea is absolutely astounding, confounded imperfect thoughts! I'm not saying it is a bad idea, it is just that it wouldn't work. There would be power struggles and disagreements and it would likely make this place worse. Then the mods would have to start blanket banning, I've seen that before and it never turns out well. People start to become paranoid. [/shiftyeyes]

All I want is a little bit more consideration when people go on be yelling their "original" ideas on the forum. I don't think that this is the place to do that. I would much prefer it if people would just let Bungie make their game instead of hyping it up and disappointing themselves when the game comes out, and then blaming it on Bungie.

Finally, a little bit of consideration on this forum. I hope that people will heed this advice.

I don't think that it's right to boycott the forums just because of a bunch of nonsense that people keeping on building on. I just hope that everyone will at least think before they make a new topic. If people can at least attempt to display common sense on these forums, then I am sure that many people will be happy.

It would be a lot better if we had at least some simple ground rules for people to follow, and then to reinforce them. The moderators should try and let less filth onto this forum before it gets overrun with outdated ideas and such. I'm not sure if it's in a regular member's exact power to do this, but I do like the idea of kindly pointing out a few things if a repeat thread or otherwise is created.
