What happened in 2008? I joined in 2010, and its only been this past year that I've come to know and love The Flood forum. Did it have something to do with Halo 3?

Nah, The Flood was just crappier than usual (if that's possible), and Achronos made a thread saying if The Flood didn't get its act together he would Nuke it. And The Flood has been in constant fear ever since.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

Meh.

I think he makes good points. For a group of folks that run around claiming to be "as one" with terms like "Floridian", we show very little unity. We mock those who disagree, we troll, we flame and find more comfort in hostility than community.

The flood is capable of great things. I've seen it. But the majority act as though its a shame to be seen as compassionate, or friendly. We label any attempt to improve our community as "forum coping" and shun them as heretics.

But you can't change a group that doesn't want change, so, I don't know.

I agree. Another forum that I go on really respects one another. Granted, its a smaller community but every knows everyone and its just nice.

Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lube.

Why should we change? Because a butthurt member is "sad"?


No.

Do everyone a favor, get some intelligence, grow a set, bust a nut, and shut the fu­ck up.

Lol, this is pretentious, the flood isnt nearly as bad as he makes it to be, nor is the activity an inclination of the death of the forums.

Drecker225 is awesome and doesn't afraid of anything.





I cannot wait for the day when I gain control of the world.

As much as I don't want to admit it, Harlow speaks the truth. Perhaps we should act a bit nicer to eachother.

Let's not kill ourselves over here.

Some people are blinded by nonsensical butthurt to see it.

Best maps and videos in HQ and HD:

Youtube account: chaimtwee (HQ)
Youtube account: Halo3QualityVideos (HD)

Check them out.

Lol, the evidence that everything went wrong from Achronos the Bungie.net overlord was something he said in 2008 haha.

Right.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

If you read that thread, it's all pretty much drama between private group(s), so I wouldn't see that thread as a legitimate source of "getting our act together".

We need Draw Ball.

no you cant have my gamertag

While I think it's ironic that argument is coming from Harlow, I have to agree.

This place is a -blam!- hole.

I think a lot of it is that the only way to get attention here is by being controversial and confrontational.

If there is a legitimate thread with a legitimate debate, then an individual who says "You're a -blam!-ing moron, OP" will get more of a response than an individual who says "I politely disagree because of x, y, and z"

It really is a manifestation of the problems that arise when people continually feed the trolls. It not only incentivizes legitimate trolls, but it incentivizes trollish behavior from potentially productive members.

And you're a -blam!-tard if you don't recognize this.

I guess we'll always be that unwanted middle child of B.net.

Quite sad.

I don't see the use of him complaining about how bad the Flood is. No matter what you do, it's useless to try and fix something that obviously cannot be fixed.

If he, or other members at that, doesn't like the forum the way that it is, just ignore it entirely.

I feel like we're always getting beat down as a forum.

  • 01.02.2013 8:43 AM PDT

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

Umm, the OP of the link you gave got banned. I'm not worried.

The bible is the best book Ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN. HALO IS AWESOME BUT GOD IS MUCH BETTER!!!!!!!!
Did you knew that JESUSdied for you?

I wish this comunity was better.

As a person that has been around for a while,since 2008 I think(this account was an alt),and I rarely go on this site anymore. The Flood has always been like this, but in my opinion Floodians are better behaved now then they were back in 2008-2010. Including me, I was a little troll haha.

  • 01.02.2013 9:28 AM PDT

The Flood may be a cesspit of hatefulness but its our cesspit of hatefulness ._.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Not all of us are bad. Let's just go along with our business, and be good role models for any new members.
