We all realise that most people are not intelligent enough to understand the economical reasons behind Vista. Nor will they understand that for the price we spend we are going to get a better Halo 2 then the XBOX guys got. Most of them are either ignorant of exactly WHY they are building Vista ,or spammers who just want to get us all riled up and turn on each other.

This is human nature.

We must all agree to COMPLETELY IGNORE ALL spam or bashing posts that comes through here or in other words...DONT FEED THE TROLLS!!!

This is also stated in the stickies. (No Kim I didn't forget it's in the stickies)

I am guilty of feeding them just like some of you are. We can not let these ass cookies make fools and barbarians out of us all. When we respond we fuel the fire.

I know this has been said before however, most people either don't read the stickies or don't care so I am reinforcing it. IGNORE THE FOOLS!!!

When Vista and H2V gets here they will see exactly how much better it is and they will understand what Vista was for. (They will probably go get it themselves and not until later realise what a hypocrite they are.)

So I say fellow Maw Men, steal yourself and relax. Awhile back Me15ter posted on how this forum was going to hell...If we don't stop encouraging the trolls with responding to their post than we are one step closer to letting this forum become just what me15ter fortold...a forum full of morons and idiots. Just relax and let the ninjas take care of them.

If you see a post like that pm a ninja and they will take care of it. Do not try to play super moderator and try and convince the person why they are wrong.

Let us keep the peace Maw men...We must set the example on how the maw guys act. We must be the forum that everyone knows as the one with people who aren't all jackasses.

Ignore the trolls and get on with your lives. They will see soon enough.

I think the recent flood of jackasses that have invaded our fortress of solitude is merely a temporary nuisance. I simply tell everybody to relax and that our home will be a house of calm and serenity once again.

Yes the problem was that they released an entire week worth of updates about Vista and they didn't give any thing out about Halo3. They were starving for Halo3 info and they saw Bungie serve us up a 16oz Porterhouse steak. They did what any normal child would do, they threw a tantrum. Bungie just needs to throw a little Halo3 mashed potatoes on their plate and they will calm down and eat.

It's mostly sausages. Franks, blood sausages, bratwursts, and the like. There is a hot dog bun roaming here somewhere though.

Yes. Most of the people here have sausages. Blood sausages, franks, brautwursts, even tofu. But there's a bread bun here somewhere.

I think you are the only regular female, if you are female which I am assuming from the question. There is another that comes in here every once in a while, KillrgrlX.

If I ever meet you Recon were having a beer. Every one of your post are well-written and make perfect sense.

A lttle repetitive Kim?

Hey, he asked the same thing in another thread, I'm just doing what he did.

Majinalchemy's a dudette? Never knew it. I thought he was just another average noob male here in the Maw.

I'm not old enough to imbibe alcohol but I'll buy you some fine vintage wine when we meet, Recon. He brings order and justice to our forum and he's one of the few people here who's posts I can actually read without my IQ going down and putting a good point to it as well.

Can we cut out the sausage references? it's kinda creeping me out.

I for one am old enough to imbibe alcohol in any country. So I'll pull for you Kim :) Even though I find alcohol to be rather discusting. Except for a fine wine.

I don't mind the fact that the Maw is somewhat elitist. It makes being a member here so much more intellectually stimulating.

QFT!

Also, I'm not much of an alcohol person myself. I think it tastes bad. Root beer and various other psuedo-alcoholic beverages and soft drinks FTW!

Just avoid certain pitfalls, if you can.

Don't be too quick to label someone as a fool or an idiot simply because you don't know them or because they do not know as much as you do.

Many people with questions are simply that. Someone who doesn't know, has been shown the name, screen-shots and a few tidbits of the upcoming title and they have questions.

If the members of this site and regulars of this forum fall to the temptation to be exclusionary, then that is just another person who might turn away with a negative view of this forum, this site and its members.

I for one, would hate for that to happen, even once.

If I need to suggest a reason for the regulars of The Maw to be "hosts beyond the call of duty", consider this.

The Halo PC community is and has been (to varying degrees) a strong and tight-knit collection of people. But it is a (comparatively) small community when looking at the numbers. Gathering a random game of good people (not necessarily good players, but good people who can become better players) is not always the easiest thing to do. More players online is a desirable thing.

If I recall, there was once a challenge (a couple actually) by Gearbox to get 1000 players online to demonstrate the size and unity of the community who plays Halo PC/CE. If memory serves, the goal was not met.

Now, in my eyes, every new or unfamiliar member who comes by with a question or even a mistaken assumption about Halo 2 Vista is a potential addition to the community. Unless we are as welcoming, helpful, and can demonstrate the sort of community that we all know that we are.... well, we could lose that person to the void of apathy.

So, if someone is a true idiot? Ignore them to your heart's content. If they are disruptive or rule-breaking? PM a moderator and let us know, because we don't want jerks like that anywhere in our community.

But if they have a glimmer of hope? Help them out. You won't regret it.

Good Strong words there is and tips for some of the people too.

Windows economical? Sure, keep lying to yourself.

We agree Demigod(something i forgot ). Go away newmombasas!

  • 08.26.2006 10:22 AM PDT

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

Bravo Demigod333, bravo. Great post! I have nothing else to say but, snazzy job Demi.

Anyways just to give a little advice, like Recon said, PM a ninja and let them use the rest, so don't feed the trolls!!.

I do usually say man(or woman in parenthees) So don't throw that at me.

I'm not saying that we should shun the obvious fools that come to our forum...Let me rephrase what I said earlier. When they do arrive just educate them but if they obviously are just here to piss us off like someone screaming. ITS ALL ABOUT THE XBOX BABY!!!

Thats when you say ITS NOT ABOUT THE XBOX...ITS ABOUT MY FOOT IN YOUR ASS.


But yes I should have better worded what I said at the beginning.(I just woke up when I wrote this so give me a break.)

Don't necessarily shun but ATTEMPT to educate.

Windows economical? Sure, keep lying to yourself.

Please take an economics class before you try and sound intelligent about telling me whats a lie and whats not. OK.

Bravo Demigod333, bravo. Great post! I have nothing else to say but, snazzy job Demi.

Yay I got a fan!!! Woot Woot

Don't get me wrong....I love Halo and am as excited about H2PC as anyone else...

but, unless they're going to give the sniper-rifle the correct zoom--

--let me elaborate. In the XBox, the sniper rifle had zoom levels 5 and 10, whereas the PC version had 2 and 8.--

--then its not worth waitng. They can put it out now and screw the whole Vista thing because the only difference it's going to make is that it's going to make things a lot worse.
We all know that everytime microsoft puts out a new operating system, it's riddled with problems that takes months to iron out. Thats why they released 2 versions of Windows98, thats why they now have 3 Service and security packages for XP, and XP is why nobody has ME or NT (which both only last like a month). XP, ME and NT are all the same!

And the longer they take, the more features they add, THE MORE THEY MISS, THE BIGGER THEY FALL. With that last statement in mind, I am now very scared of the fact that Vista is coming up on THREE YEARS BEHIND SCHEDULE!

So, without being totally indignant, i'll just let YOU hold off until "Emergency Patch, File and System Recovery Package # 7-D-Gamma" rolls around before delivering the final "I TOLD YA SO!"

I hope you're right, Kimmy, because if it doesn't, then I will be mourning the loss of the beloved place to meet mature HPC players that I called The Maw.

You have no basis on which to judge Vista. From the beta, I have to say its so much better than xp besides in being incomplete, its not even funny.

Oh come on, maturity died when you were born....
...otherwise you'd see the future like me!

Now, i feel i should explain my Sniper Rifle reference earlier...

I figure that if Bungie didn't bother to even match that one feature in the transition from XBox to PC, what in God's name makes you think they're going to make everything BETTER in an operating system that's going to drop dead on you twice a week? When that happens (WHEN, it's not even a question of IF), your going to be so consumed with saving your compy, you won't have time to play Halo (there's your economics class--Can't use it, why keep it?)

I don't mean to bash Bungie

YAAAAAAAY! BUNGIE! WOOT FOR HALO ON MY COMPUTER! stupid XBox!
I'm just saying they should not wait any longer. it's been 2 years since Halo2 came out on Xbox, and by that time Xbox360 was right around the corner, but that didn't stop them, and it still sold like tickets to the "Flaming SOBs Diving into a pale of water on Ice Concert" (i saw it 22 times) . This time we've got the same situation, only this time, Vistas got a flat tire, and is a blown gasket waitng to happen....My point is H2PC has a head-start, why is it just sitting there?

No Basis? NO BASIS?

You're sitting here telling me that Windows Media 11 and that new Live Messenger (built SPECIFICALLY FOR VISTA) have NOT caused me to reboot my compy 3 times, and every time i try uninstall them, i crash again? is that what your saying? well if that's what your saying.....

...then your right....

But nobody seems to be remembering Microsofts history.

Let me make my final point by saying "those who do not remeber the past are condemned to repeat it".
