Thread is useless. Lost all meaning without the actual connection of the Halo and its community. We dont always wanna talk about Halo but sometimes we do. Other thread was the perfect mixture that we created.
Now both threads move at a snails pace and can occasionally be seen off the first page listing.
Bring back HaloGAF OT in gaming community section! BRING IT BACK.
Heres an idea mods if you get too many PMS about the thread, delete them. In the PM section there is a row of boxes that you can delete multiple PM's at once, its super easy! I'll create a tutorial if you cant figure it out or ask a team lead.
Hire Juices.

I have nothing more to add, but I agree.
Well actually I do. Deal with the offending posters, don't fragment the community.

Yeah, it doesn't feel good here. I mean, this is the ONLY subcommunity for a game not worthy of being in the Gaming Community section. That's a red flag. Certanily doesn't help the group become less insular and more inviting when we are tucked away. Ok, sure, mods have been moving more and more communities to the OT Community secction but us? Really?
What happens when the next Halo game comes out? We have a thread on Gaming? Then that gets moved to Gaming Community for a while. Then the people that end up making friends with those in the, now Gaming Community, thread get pointed towards this place where we discuss the things we would have done in between getting games or analysing news tidbits.
I already see people crossposting in both threads and it seems as though both of them are discussing the same content more often than not. What has been solved exactly?
Don't talk so sexy, Bugs.
The people that sent PM's complaining didn't contribute to the thread anyway.

HGS arent joke posts. Theres actually a group out there I think.
Whereas the french jokes...Those are actually supposed to be funny, yet arent. Cause Europe and any other place is like 10 years behind America in humor.
Yes, please stop the french jokes. Yes you. You know who you are.

Yeah the French jokes and the Elzar jokes were always pretty lame.
Gui's alt account confirmed.
Making fun of Elzar never gets old. What is wrong with you, Gui alt.
I appreciate the industry telling me I should stop playing video games.
And I don't get the drama in fact. People reported the Halo OT because there were meta discussions? That's why they closed the last thread?

Sadly yes,what we can talk about it if the mods stripped us our main reason to gather and talk even the Halo 4 OT is slowly becoming Halogaf and less Halo 4 OT just look at the users talking about playing modded games.

But on a related note, what did they mean that people from other communities complained or said this is 'from the Halo thread'. Outside of HaloGAF, who even knew who what was written or what we discussed? There's like a dozen games communities just as active and I couldn't tell you a single thing they post.

The thread was really hostile with new members who tried to make a normal discussion or maybe because the thread got some news before the gaming section unrelated to Halo.
The truth.
Nobody stopped you guys from talking about Halo. This is a HaloGAF OT. You talk about Halo and then other shit about each other. The Halo 4 OT is for people who want to talk about Halo without talking about the inner workings of this weird and insular HaloGAF phenomenon we have.
How did this thread lose its connection to Halo? We're still HaloGAF. Did moving from one subheading to another fundamentally change us in some way?

But that's what makes a community.

HolaGAF sounds like a community of GAF members seeking to learn Spanish.
Did you not see that Polygon article today that there may not be a fee for used games on x1 after all?
Yeah....that site.

Should have been specific about the issues. Ban the offenders. Or if people were complaining hard about nothing tell them to deal with it and or fuck off. We can't control individual members here.

Yeah, for an hour. We got crushed first game, then I crushed Sotto in a 1v1.
Then they were playing H4 (Xand and co, so I just stayed on the dashboard and talked for a bit).
Hmm.. I have an old PC lying around. Lets see how this works.
It's not the same though, is it? It doesn't feel the same. It feels like a weird HaloGAF proxy.
And are we really so insular? I've never really seen the threads get hostile to newcomers. Unless they're dicks, but that's not discriminating against new people, it's discriminating against dicks.
