New Mombasa has steadily been taken over with threads about piracy. The acts are getting worse as well, as people are posting story spoilers, rumors or even blatant lies. It's ignorance pure and simple. I love Bungie -- and I love most of you guys in here. But I'm going to take a break.

I want you guys to know that I will show up here once in a while to check on the status of you people - as I am interested in the continued plight of the Septagon.

There are a few joining -- and I want to post this to let Bungie.net know that we are true fans - and that's why we must go.

Thank you -- See you in a couple days to a few weeks!

-James

Others who may be on hiatus - feel free to post your own take on this situation here.

Here here! If you want to spoil experiences of others for something they've waited for for 3 years, your'e a rat bastard. I can put it no more subtly than that. If someone tells me the story, I may be at the point of redrum.
Bungie has worked their COLLECTIVE ASS OFF for years to make the perfect game for you. This is how the community repays them, by stealing. Not B.net or true fans, more like their own community of Computer Elites. It doesn't make sense to me, and I am extending my hiatus from the forums as well.

Sorry, I was at school and had a driving lesson, but I missed this whole thing about pirates, could someone fill me in?

Or am I better off not knowing about any of it?

It's too bad you guys are leaving, for a little while, but I imagine it's for the best. Hope to see you all soon.

We’ve watched while the stars burned
Out, and creation played in reverse.
The Universe freezing in half-light.
Once I thought to escape.
To end a master, step out of the
Path of collapse. Escape would make us God.
Yet I cannot help but remember one enigma,
A hybrid, elusive destroyer.
This is the one mystery I have not solved.
The only element unaccounted for.

You'll want to know about it just so you can watch out for it. Someone stole the French version of the game and put it up for download on the internet. Beware of spoilers.

Oh yeah, I'm staying. I think I can dodge the spoilers easily enough.

I only really check The Underground and The Septagon, so I should be safe. If any of this piracy stuff makes its way in here it will be a sad day indeed....

Have I ever disagreed with you Recon? Nope, and I probably never will.
As I see it, things should go like this-
Deliberately misguiding or misnamed topics that try to release leaked info should get the maker banned immediatly.
Post sayin something like "I found this on the web, and I'm pretty sure that it's new. Do any of you know if this is legal?" Should earn a one week ban and a message telling the reason for the ban.
People responding to the threads in any way should receive one warning and then a ban for any following posts.

We are damn lucky that Bungie cares so much about us that they are trying so hard to keep this quiet.

Hey I'm sorry to hear that Jim.

Today has been a rough day for me also. With Halo 2 being leaked and work being a pain I've just about had it with everything. I'll definetly be avoiding New Mombasa with the leak out now, it's just stupid that people ruin things like this.

I'm pissed, and if I find anyone with a leaked copy they will feel pain. That is all...

I recall that around the time of the mods being issued their cool new loaded bat-utility belts, that someone (I think that it might have been Shishka) warned of an upcoming "Zero-Tolerance" policy. I don't know if it was followed, or the recent calm and order on the forums was a result of the warning or actions based on that policy.

A surprise gift for you: Shishka's Leak FAQ and it's even guaranteed spoiler-free. Unless you consider it a spoiler knowing that posting or offering to post links to leaked material will get you PERMANENTLY BANNED from linking your gamertag to bungie.net. Plus permanent banning from the forums.

Go Team Ninja! Nuke. Pave. Lather. Rinse. Repeat as necessary.

I know that I joke around a lot, but to me, this is serious stuff. We fans depend on Bungie and Bungie in turn does a lot for us. Bungie deserves to know that they can count on their fans as well.
And they can. There are teams of fans working to track down offers of pirated material and send the appropriate links to piracy@microsoft.com. I thank them for taking the hit for the rest of us fans, as I thank the admins for doing the thankless job of keeping spoilers and warez out of the forums.

You make me proud, guys.

Yeah, staying away from Halo sites for the next few weeks is completely understandable. I plan to do the same, to tell the truth.

I still cant get over the fact that this happened. It truly is sickening, although I guess it would be naive to think that it couldn't happen. People can be real pieces of excrement sometimes...pretty frequently, actually.

I'll be avoiding New Mombasa for awhile and take refuge here in the septagon during this little war, until I get a joystick and will transfer over to the ww2 online 14-day trial. That'll help pass the time.

I'm gonna hang out in the spetagon for a while or maybe just dissapear for a while. alot of bungie members i reconize are leaving now until halo2 comes out :P so i might follow suit. But I do enjoy chatting with the people in the septagon alot. ee! i cant decide...

maybe we can find someway to only see non-leaked threads...

My post didn't really contribute much, but it involved alot of pondering for me...

  • 10.14.2004 10:17 PM PDT

Ach! Was ist los?

I'm gonna just grab my eight-gauge and sit this one out.

I am returned -- but only to Septagon, and occasionally the Flood.

I will just take the tuff-it-out route from now - I lasted about a day and a half away from Bungie --


Wow Bungie : You've got a hold of me.

P.S. You can't escape.

I found that out.

This has gotten a bit off topic and I'm going to lock it.

Regarding Recon's request for zero tolerance, I'd say he doesn't realize how many people have been banned.
