Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Here at Bungie? There is already a seperate forum for those. It's called The Gallery, oddly enough. But for the Septagon, it probably wouldn't be the better of it. Since it's not improving the Seventh Column. Nor is it regarding any trouble with the community part of the site.


I disagree. Any activity that has a chance to bring out some activity from the community really would help the Seven7h Column.

So, if it's done well, I like the idea.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

I see you made a thread about this earlier, it got moved to the Classifieds....

True but the gallery hasn't been updated in quite a while. Hopefully when Halo 3 is released activity in the Gallery and Seventh Column will boost.

I love caption contests! They are a fun way to express what you think of pictures and might even be rewarded for their caption. Like I said, no activity in the Gallery, but I love doing the, in my groups!

The irony in your post is unbearable.

There have been many Caption Contests hosted by members in the Septagon before. Yes, it was improving the Seventh Column. It allowed members to interact with eachother more.

But people would take advantage of it and post pictures of their own asses and say ," Post captions about my back-side!"

You have to remember Recoil, the Se7enth Column is not the flood. Sure many of us have come from the flood, but we have changed. If you take a look around in the Septagon, then look in the flood, you will see countless differences. One of those being maturity. The septagon enjoys intelligent mature debates, while the flood enjoys calling one another rude and obnoxious names.

What I am trying to get to is, that within the septagon I can almost guarantee that this will not happen. If it does, it will be taken care of quickly, swiftly, and stealth-fully. The fact of the matter is, is that this is not the flood. Nor will it ever be. There will be no such things that will happen in the septagon. And honestly if it does I can vow that; that would be the lowest of low.

Yes, I agree 100%. I was once a Floodian but many will spam non stop just to spam. I am sure they will.

I rarely, if ever see a dumb remark or response in the Septagon. They are usually somewhat intelligent. This seems to be more for civilized discussion/debate. Not quite the conditions for a caption contest.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

So, if it's done well, I like the idea.
It's already a seperate forum for all that, though. Why do more here? There would be a whole bunch of locked topics.

That would be cool if you could submit some funny pics to achronos or KP or whatever and so that way, we won't have all locked topic here. Also, they can actually post the pics in the FORUMS! that will make it better!


First off, we're not able to post in the gallery. Also, caption contests are allowed in the Septagon.

I agree, that would be nice to have the pictures imbedded in the post. But it isn't really necessary. Besides, the fact that it is ran by the community could be a boost.

You can post in the Gallery wtf are you talking about?!


I'm talking about the fact that you can't create new threads in the Gallery. Go look.

Thats like saying, before cars were created, that people would take advantage of them and run people over... the rules say dont post pr0n, so if someone does, it will be removed and the user will be banned. *sigh*
