In Response To: Um, Correct Me If I'm Wrong... (ATMantis)

This has been extensively discussed on HBO already. We don't even know if the forerunners even exist anymore. Furthermore, I don't believe that knowing they would be killed would stop the forerunners from taking their revenge on the flood. It's Mutual Assured Destruction, just like the Cold War. If America knew it was going to be wiped out by Russia, it would have launched its nukes, even knowing that they would be destroyed no matter what. If the forerunners thought that the flood were going to wipe them out anyway, they might activate the Halo to screw the flood over.
Another possibility is that the forerunners may have left the galaxy many years ago, getting out side their weapon's effective radius. Or the fortress worlds might be unaffected by the pulse they admit, thus being something of a haven, hence fortress.
Not to mention 343 Guilty Sparks comments imply some sort of connection between the forerunners and humanity. There are many reasons not to assume that the forerunners are simply machines.
