I agree. Hell, I might as well start posting in the 'Laser Wars' thread..
New Mombasa is falling apart. After the release of Halo 2, I'm going to stick expressly to the flood for a full month to let it all calm down.

Most of the people there are morons who are either there to -blam!- the website for information or to use the forums as a long-term time-blower until Halo2... many will leave (I hope?)

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.

Great strategy.

I know! Somehow, we should find a way to banish the New Mombasa thread to the moon! That way, not only will all the whiners quit -blam!-ing about spoilers, but all the idiots--ah, crap. They'll all come back to The Flood. Nevermind.

Keep New Mombasa and re-name it "Sanctuary of Stupid."

Two things:
1) I think you need an new nickname for New Mombasa, and
2) We have a way to deal with them. It is called the trih xeem.

1) Yeah, I don't think it's that great, either.
2) Tri'Xeem? Do tell! Sorry, it's been a while since I've even been on B.net, and even longer since I've been to the Flood. A lot has changed...

Always remember, the intelligence of a board is directly proportional to the number of topic titles in CAPS LOCK.

Oh I know. And when judging members, remember that join date and post count is everything.

That's not really true. Some members who are really new bring something to the table that we need. Although, if you divide the post count by the days active, and get a number bigger than one hundred thousand, something's wrong.

I care about all the forums, I remember back in the days there was no Flood or New Mombasa, I think the members back in those days were well behaved, probably even more before I joined.... back in 2002-2003... those days.

Those days are gone, gone with the creation of the Halo 2 e3 video. The new users will flock to us. We, proud Spartans, stand tall. However, they outnumber us, 200 to one. Shall we run, and save ourselves, or stand and fight for truth? I, for one, choose the second. Let them come, I say. They have no idea of the battle in wait for them. True, many will be lost, but we shall triumph.

The flood is such a happy place...I don't even dare to set foot in New Mombasa... in fact I don't think I've ever been there..

the only times I don't spell correctly is when I IM people...because I have to type faster, and when I just make typing errors.

  • 11.06.2004 10:18 AM PDT

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I joined before they redid the site, and man it was a lot different. I forgot awhile back which forums are new... but Im pretty sure New Mombasa was one. I think the reason that New Mobasa is such a hellhole is because when all the new members come here they want to get all the Halo 2 info, so they go to New Mombasa. Now more expiranced members stick to the Flood because they know that they can get all the juicy info by reading the news on the front page, and that New Mombasa is all spoilers and rumors. Mabye the occasional intellegent topic.

*sigh* I miss being a new member. No offense to anyone, but all these new members are scary. I realized I was around before Obbi. Thats weird... but Obbi probably had a different name. But I agree totally with Atsumi. The members were a lot ... better, for lack of a better word. Not to discount new members, but I have to say the forums have gone downhill. I miss the random posts like (I forgot who posted this) "Are you wearing pants?"

Pink Menace, I'm sure some of the older members when we joined thought we were scary too. Really, date joined doesn't matter, its just the fact there are more joining now it feels like there are more stupid ones.

Agreed. I'm somewhat new, but after I took one long look at Mombasa, I came here.

I know exactly what you all are talking about. What annoys me the most, though is when (insert the N-word here) post in the underground with Halo 2 stuff. They completely ignore the sticky which blatantly says," HALO THREADS IN THE LIBRARY/THE MAW; HALO 2 THREADS IN NEW MOMBASA". Also, i agree that NM is filled with spoilers/ spammers/ idiots who have completely ruined it. Hell, i think it was better when the ILB thing was big.

Thats kind of sad when the off-topic forum is better than the one thats supposed to be serious.

Hmmm, I just realized that I'm one of the new members. And yet I've been whining about them along with everyone else... would that be ironic or would I just be a hypocrite?

Hahaha... little of both. Truth be told, I actually joined in... Decemberish of 2003. I used the name Renegade Elite then, but changed it to something more "me".

Kind of ironic that it's actually spelt "trih xeem". :P

You just joined yesterday. You can't be here yet. You must spend one week minimum (sp?) in New Mombasa before you can come to the flood.
