Welcome to the new and very sexy Bungie.net Forums! I'm sure all of you know how to use a forum, so I'll skip the silly instructions and get right to the good stuff. What's new and THE RULES!
[b]What's NEW:[/b]
Layout. Not only is the forum a lot nicer looking than before it is also more functional.
Avatars. Check out your My settings link. Then click on Avatar. OMFG SWEET.
Forum Polls. This is like the coolest new update to the forum in my opinion. Basically you can create a poll and insert it right into your forum topic! Although, I hear bungie will take this feature away if the master chief loses any popularity forum polls. So it's probably not a very a good idea to make any stosh vs. master chief polls.
Text Markup. The text formatting system has been revamped a bit for the new Bungie.net. It's now much easier to use and new users should be able to decipher it without needing a team of geeks at their disposal. Practice the text markup options [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=85]here.[/url]
Chars Left. Check out this feature located on the bottom left of your post field. It counts the amount of characters you have left for your post in real time. Neat, huh?
Pin. If your forum post is really awesome, we can pin it. Basically pinning will make your post stick to the top of the forum. It will be uneffected by time, meaning it will stay up there until we unpin it.
Delete. The new system won't leave icky forum data residue anymore when we delete ugly forum posts. They will just disappear. Like a bad forum post should.
Lock. We can lock forum posts now. Locking is just another feature we will use to combat user immaturity and senseless forum topics.
I would also like to note that all three bungie.net forums will be moderated daily. Rude users will never ruin your day on one of our forums again. Promise.
[b]The RULES:[/b]
Please DO NOT advertise your chapter here. You can use the seventh column [url=http://seventhcolumn.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/2]mainpage[/url] for that.
No petitions.
Do not link to adult content or to sites that contain information on any type of software piracy.
No bad jokes.
Xbox hacking/modding discussions will not be permitted on any of the bungie.net forums.
Don't Flame each other. Use your manners and common sense. If you disagree with someone, do so gracefully.
Noob, Newbie, N00b, and any other variants on the word newb are hereby banned from use on this forum. Any user who violates this rule will be put to [url=http://www.soffish.com/images/noob.gif]death[/url].
There are plenty of more rules I could list, but I mean only a brain damaged monkey would break them. Use common sense and your very best online etiquette. Read the Bungie.net [url=http://www.bungie.net/Help/NoticePage.aspx?section=TermsOfUse]terms[/url] of use and [url=http://www.bungie.net/Help/NoticePage.aspx?section=CodeOfConduct]code of conduct[/url] for more specific bungie.net dos and donts.
Suggestions:
Use a spell checker to check your posts for misspellings. There's no point in making a forum topic if we can't understand it because of multiple spelling errors.
Don't use stupid abbreviations. (Example: Your = ur, You = u, Are = r, Halo: CE)
P.S.
If you have any suggestions/complaints/questions about the new site and its awesome forums, please make them at the [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/topics.aspx?forumID=3]Septagon[/url]. I mean I don't mind moving posts, but you know...it would be nice if I didn't have to. Thanks!
That's it! Welcome! Have fun!

The delete button works faster...my ninjas suck. [Edited on 4/14/2004 1:48:25 PM]

But now his ninjas can kick our asses.
-
I like bungie, too. Were not so different from him. Back on the old Underground he didn't have mod powers, and was no different than any of us.
-
Gotta include though that he likes bungie, otherwise he wouldn't be talking about it and Moding the forums. :-D
-
[quote]oh and does stosh work at bungie or what or is he the genie of all knowingnuss. [/quote] He doesn't work for bungie, and he's not a god. He's a simple human being, who wants to be treated that way.

Nice job guys! [Edited on 4/14/2004 12:31:09 PM]

I dont no what to say...it's just so beautiful...!!!!!!!
-
true true, that would be double sweet with bells on and many a cherry on top, x100
-
we would all love to see a moving web cam, just to see if we could get a chance to see some HALO 2 in action...... but that prob wont happen
-
proper webcams would be totally excellent and im sure that a web cam wouldnt eat up too much of the server and if it did, it would be too cool of a feature to get rid of so you could sacrifice a lame feature. i dunno but a moving webcam would be very very cool. and its not like we're asking for sound.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] stosh [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XiroKe I think the real question is, why can't there be an actual webcam that allows you to watch moving images?[/quote] Cause that would eat too much bandwidth and would break the servers. Achronos would be sad.[/quote] Come on, it would be worth the few hours it'd be up. ;-)

so is this like a 'main forum' where you discuss everything? cause i wanted to ask oppinions about stuff like using plasma swords and are there going to be more colors for multiplayer teams/ more options/ more sats in the 'post carnage report'.
-
where are these webcams by the way? i am lost in cyberspace...*fades into the blackness*
-
I like the sub title combat evolved. Halo 2 will probably have one as well.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mylo hey why dont the webcams show any moving stuff, when ever i go on them they're just frozen images, any clues fella's??[/quote] Cause the webcam doesn't show moving images. The image gets updated every minute or so.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Reiginko [quote]Don't use stupid abbreviations. (Example: Your = ur, You = u, Are = r, Halo: CE) [/quote] Don't you think disallowing abbreviations like Halo: CE (or H:CE) is going a bit far? I agree that "ur" and "u" and "lol" are juvenile and all, but are M1, M2, M∞, TFL, SB etc also disallowed? Stosh, these abbreviations are part of the Bungie community (although I suppose CE is stupid; "Combat Evolved" is a stupid subtitle for Halo). You have to make exceptions. - Reiginko[/quote] That last one was just a joke. Don't take everything I say so seriously.
-
hi everyone. im new to forums. I have to agree that "combat evolved" does sound like a commercial, i certainly dont refer to it as such, although i could not come up with a beter title. i like how a forum gives me another reason to be online.*sniff/tear* i love meeting people that love halo.*breaking out into tears*
