Just because there's no "OMG PIE!" threads doesn't mean it's inactive.
LMAO.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

I'd rathery they just merge the Library and the Maw for all Halo 1 topics.

It is my honest opinion that the Maw forum is the absolute best forum and a model for every other forum on this site. The Maw may seem largely inactive because you do not understand it or because we do not hear constant news about Halo 2 visita. But that doesn't mean the community isn't adamant about helping each other, setting up tournaments and sharing other relative news with each other. Personally everyone should take some cues from the members in the Maw for their sheer resourcefulness and maturity.

I'd love it to be removed. It's mature, yes, but so inactive only a tiny minority would care after a week. How many people honestly own Halo PC? Activity is, for me, what mostly makes a forum (mostly. Halo 3 Forum FTL!). It's just my opinion, but we don't really need it.

It won't be though....maybe they should just make a Myth/Marathon forum and combine it or something.
Whatever. I don't really care.

Maybe overall it's not a great idea, though, because Halo PC is a big part of the website....kind of. Marathon and Myth are a bigger part I.M.O., though I haven't played any of the three.

Face it, no one cares about the PC versions of Halo and Halo 2.

Personally, I will "face it", when, and only when, you offer some statistics to back this up.

Way I see it, as long as the forum doesn't have those old, grey, self-locking threads creeping up the front page, it isn't inactive enough to warrant deletion.

  • 01.14.2007 10:55 PM PDT

Bah, no! It is one of the best sub-forums I've ever visited! And it's the only place to talk about Halo CE, sooo...no removal por favor.

  • 01.14.2007 11:20 PM PDT

This post is flamebait. Try to express your animosity towards PC gaming through avenues other than forum restructuring suggestions. And it's clear that the Library is less active than the Maw.

<<< Maw ex-pat.

The Maw is the very best forum on B.net, as long as you have something on-topic to talk about. Since I no longer play Halo PC, I rarely post there.
Also, The Maw made the News this week. So there.

Become the hunter.

No, it musts stay, I'm not necessarily attached to it, but it needs to be there, just because the people that play halo on PC are a minority here doesn't mean they're not there.

Correction: You don't care about Halo PC or Halo 2 for Vista.

Fortunately, your opinion was not requested nor your approval. The Maw stays. It should be a good place to keep track of various community efforts to make their own content.

Honestly, is it hurting you in anyway with it's existence? There's no point for it to be gone.

I agree with what the majority has said within this thread. Just because you do not like Halo PC and Halo Vista does not mean everyone else does not. I, personally, love them both. I love Halo PC far greater than Halo:Combat Evolved for the original xbox. It is all around better. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean everyones thinking is the same.

The Maw is relatively sane compared to the rest of the forums and should be preserved. Face it, many of us care about the PC versions of Halo and Halo 2 because that's all we can play. Also, kneeballing trolls like you is fun. Discuss.

Wow, just wow. We at The Maw would hate it if we were destroyed. We have very good purposes, and despite what you may think, we are very active. The Maw serves as a central gathering place for Halo PC players from HaloMaps, HBO, CMT, Gearbox, and the hundreds of clans. In fact, removing the Maw would be just another kick that we would find a way around (I'm sure that we could easily get the word around each other to go to a specific chapter). We already suffer from lack of care from Gearbox, but having our central forum removed would just further prove our point that we are terribly underrated...

The Maw is obviously the best place to come if you want a conversation that warrents any facts and or truth. We are probably the most tight knit community here on bungie. Besides, most people don't knot what Halo was originally designed to be played on a Mac. Then they heard of this supposedly great new console, called the Xbox. And dark has a point. We have no place left to go. We're dead to Gearbox and anyone that originally designed Halo PC.

And also our forums are not dead. If you visited there more often, you would probably notice that many topics leave the front page rather quickly. Which means that we are active and making new topics all the time.

And another thing. I like the Maw and care for Halo PC, which basically blows your thoughts that nobody like halo pc out of the water.

And also. What other forum is so tight knit that the regulars formed a clan? You can find out clan forums here. It was started by regulars, run by regulars, and is so popular that people have never known that bungie even has a site like it and join.

In conclusion, The Maw is the most intelligent forum and should stay. We have a right as much as everyone else.

I for one got my start playing halo when it came out on xbox. Then moved to halo 2 and finally got halo pc. And I must say, the Maw is the best forum for a game that I have been in, period.

The activity is perfect you can actually follow topics, and it will get plenty busy when H2V is released. You should be removed. Don't let me catch you in the MAW.

Once Halo 2 Vista comes out it will be filled with activity.
