In Response To: Those who deny HBO are fools "OT" (Hedgemony)

Hi, folks.

: You know when you have something special when others try to take you down a
: peg.
: It's amusing and somewhat childish that other Halo fansites pay out on HBO,
: when they are all welcome as fans and valuable contributors. Unless they
: are simply here to cause trouble.

It's ironic, if anything. As far as forums go, h.b.o.'s forum is the best I've ever seen on the internet. The community here, although often harsh to some users, happily takes in ideas and fresh input. We get a little irritated when people ask questions whose answers are provided for them nicely on a link that's readily available to the observant, but even so, questions get answered.

: It's interesting that this site is resented for being professional and for
: having what I believe to be the greatest Halo and Bungie fans out there.

: Even other sites seem to relish having content that HBO may not have, as if
: this automatically makes them superior. It is not about who's site is
: better, it's about who loves Halo and how you show it.

For some of us, it's about the love of a game, I suppose.

: I have noticed a few people on this forum who have posted negative comments
: about HBO and Louis personally on other forums and sites. I do not visit
: these other forums, but I was directed to one via email. While searching
: the site I discovered many comments from people who post here that I
: thought would never turn on HBO. I was wrong. It's crazy. What is the
: problem? Why is this site targeted for attack?

I can't imagine what, if people were interested in taking the breath, people would say about me. ;)

However, one of the best things about this Louis' site and the community in general is the noncompetative nature of it all. If we get news first, it's not because we're desperately trying to do so, but because we have such a fantastic and active forum that even Bungie employees feel fit to post on. That, I think, is the ultimate compliment.

I propose we continue this tradition of avoiding community flamewar. I'm pretty sure Louis' feelings aren't hurt by people who post angry things about him on other forums (Though I'm positive that "LIOUS WU SUX0RZ!!1!" posts on h.b.o. bring the poor man to his knees), so there's not much of a reason to make a big deal about them. As far as I'm concerned, if they're flaming us on other forums, then they're saving me bandwidth by not posting here. I suggest everyone keep a similar regard. :)
