Now, we all know the Library, Gallery and Voting Booth are pretty much dead. Rarely does anyone post in them. I don't think the Voting Booth and Gallery should stay. Maybe replace them instead with a forum dedicated to such things as: Halo fan-fics, Marathon fan-fics etc, Fan-made wallpapers, drawings etc. Maybe call it The Campfire, or something like it. Why? Because it would be a place where things were exchanged and created. It would be a forum.....for the fans! It's just an idea, seeing as the said three are pretty much inactive anymore. Which is quite sad, to be honest. Well, that's how I see it, anyway.

EDIT: Also, a merger of that and this, which was suggested earlier, would be a great idea for a forum.

dude, you pulled a jesus!

The Library isn't really dead. It's just natural to lose activity when the company has moved on to the 2nd and now third game. Now all of the attention has been pulled towards halo 2 and 3, but there's still some discussion there.

As for the voting booth and gallery, yes they're dead, but only because normal members can't make threads and the people who can post are busy on Halo 3 probably. I'd be willing to bet that when Halo 3 comes out we'll be seeing them come back.

True, when Halo 3 comes out, New Mombasa would be as dead as the The Library. Bungie should restore the Gallery and the Voting Booth. I don't know how long they were like that, but I wish they were restored to let the newbies, such as me, to enjoy it's former glory. Iceman's idea of a Multimedia forums sounds like a good idea, but needs some tweaking. Anywho, it's a good idea.

Or....

Bungie could simply update them.

They're great forums, just in need of a tweak. There is no need for new forums.

But The Library is really quite inactive. Mainly because Halo 2 is better, so the forum is more popular. -_-

That matters to an individual, I post in every forum BUT New Mombasa, seeing how I consider Halo PC, CuEd, and Halo XBox are better than Halo 2...

I think the Library must stay, but I could care less about the gallery and voting booth.

Thats a good idea. Combine it all together for a general media forum. Great idea!

It's an opinion, but the majority seem to prefer Halo 2. New Mombasa is the second-most-active forum. The Library is very inactive.

The Library has a little above 350 pages; New Mombasa has over 4,000, and it's much newer. Well, I think it't much newer, but you get my point.

Very soon now, the moderators will be able to make topics in all those special forums. So will KP (oddly, he couldn't before - a quirk of the security permission system). KP will also be able to post images in the Gallery, among anybody else I deem so worthy. So, pretty soon, if those forums are still dead, it is their fault. But not yet.

Oh, and Firefox's irritating "Invalid HTML" bug will be fixed, so it doesn't go off except when it is supposed to. And some other stuff too.

Sweet.

Achronos has spoken. So the Gallery will be revived? Excellent.

May I suggest that you grant them the power to post in the Voting Booth as well? Or are you just going to leave well enough alone in there?

This is why I switched back to IE 7 this morning. My thread about the various differences is somewhere on the front or second page of the Septagon. I had solved my problem, so the thread was no longer purposeful. It was interesting, though, Firefox has a ton of problems with Bungie.Net.

Why are those bad things?

As a side note, I wonder if Bungie employees (and the mods) ever get creeped out when complete strangers make -blam!- jokes involving them...

We're in big trouble :-)

Hehe, yeah this should definitly help liven those forums up. I don't even go there because there's nothing to do- but now it looks very promising. Props.
