Though our moderators work their asses off on the Bungie.net forums, day and night, for nothing more than a free t-shirt, there's only so much they can realistically do. In light of the fact that our forums receive dozens of posts a day revealing campaign spoilers for Halo 2 and the fact that our moderators are fans just like anyone else who don't want the game spoiled either, we're letting all of them take a break from their modding duties until the game is released.

Frankie, Shishka, Achronos and myself will still do our part to delete inappropriate posts and ban offending jerks but obviously we can't be everywhere all the time.

So, as much as I hate to say this...

IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT SPOILING THE HALO 2 SINGLE PLAYER EXPERIENCE BEFORE THE GAME IS RELEASED - YOU ARE ADVISED TO AVOID THE BUNGIE.NET FORUMS.

While I'd hate to do this since we obviously have more happening on our forums than just Halo 2, if people feel strongly enough, we do have the option of shutting our forums down entirely as other fan sites have done.

VOTE HERE

This is a last case option, but we'd still be curious to see what you think we should do.

Thanks for bearing with us and hanging in there, we'll all have the game soon and then it won't matter anymore. =)

Please dont shut them down. It's fun to come here and read what people post and respond to them. If people dont want their experience ruined, they should stay away from bungie.

Why should the forums be shut down for this. People dont always talk about halo2 on the forums. Like bunnycrusher who has taken us through his progress of his movie and his suit. People can talk about alot of things beside halo 2 and I noticed alot of people dont talk about it and there is only fifteen more days left in the countdown so its not like we cant take a break. Please dont shut them down!

Relax, it will certainly give more time to get better at Halo before it's sequel is out. Plus, with T-15 days left, I wouldn't risk the exposure of any more spoilers. It's a smart, simple mave. Good work Bungie (on this as well as your game).

This is just plain tough. None of us want spoilers, but I know we all want the forums. I say keep em up. If we see spoilers, thats the risk we take. If you're too woried about your Halo 2 experience, dont read the forums.
Maybe someone can start a thread where, if we do see a spoiler, we could notify anyone about it. So just before logging on, read that thread, and stay away from anything thats posted as a spoiler.

I read this forum religously and I have to admit I wanted to know from a story standpoint what happens after First Strike leading into Halo 2. But when you get down to it and I think most people here agree it would just ruin the effect the game has. So I say keep the forums and then we all just try to be semi responsible here and read what we want to read. By the way M$ is so hot on getting the Bas#$%%^Ds that have the PAL version on the Net they are tracking every viable lead. Narc I am not but, I will lead a thirsty horse to the general vacinity of water....

Keep up the great work and I just caught the first commercial on Spike tonight and may I say I am glad I did not ruin it!!! You guys Rock!!!!

some people like to speculate on what will happen and discuss their stratgey ideas one the upcoming game. One the other hand, some moron might ruin it by telling them what will happen.

In all realness, I don't think you've witnessed every spoiler on this site, HBO and all the other ones in the last 2 weeks, so it does matter.
Unless you want to know about how big the ****** is or how agile the ***** is, you should have the forums shut down. It's only 15 days anyways (Practically 14, so what does it matter anyways).
