Since H2V, H3 & Reach...

[TheGhost]

Why don't we just go back to two forums: "On Topic" and "Off Topic".

[Pooky]

On Topic would never get used.

[Kornman00]

How do you On Topic vOv?

[jcap]

All the of Bungie's recent Halo Xbox games (3, ODST, Reach) need to be bundled together IMO...it's just that I don't want to see Halo 1 Xbox or HCEX thrown into the bunch (if anything ever happens with that).

[Kornman00]

If anything ever happens with it, it can easily be separated. For now, it's like sitting on a bundle of resources in Starcraft while you're enemy if trolololo'in away at building an army: it's doing you no good. Just make a generic Halo Poo forum and when something starts to boot-scoot, branch it off from there. Too easy.

I vote PC games (H2V, CE) in their own section, Xbox games in their own

[Shock120]

Put all in the Halo Blah section, arranged by the active/new/old thread.
At the top of this forum add clickable tags, so that users can filter the forums in search of a specific game and or thread topic (allow perma links).
Halo 1 Xbox, Halo 1 PC & Custom Edition, Halo 2 Xbox, Halo 2 Vista, Halo 3 & ODST, Halo Reach, Halo Anniversary.

And below these set of tags there will be 3 sub category tags
Discussion, Tutorial, Mod/App/Source release.

If I clicked on Halo 1 Xbox, the forum will only show threads tagged with Halo 1 Xbox on them.
If I then clicked Tutorial tag, it shows "Halo 1 Xbox; Tutorials".

Same goes for the others, although one thread can be about more than 1 game.
These tags should also be important fields to fill upon thread creation.

Also design icons would be good to represent a game.

There are maybe a couple dozen active members here and we typically stick to existing threads, rather than create new ones. There just isn't a good reason to have all these fucking folders. They choke off conversation and it makes the place seem dead. I think TheGhost was kidding with "On Topic/Off Topic", but that's not far off from what would be appropriate for this place given population and posting habits.

I'm all for keeping the Halo PC/CE forum -- it's really just the "Halo Modding" forum, anyway, since no one is talking about stock Halo PC anymore. But a few threads, like the Anniversary thread, would be better off in a generic video games forum -- or "Halo & Other Games" if we're that married to Halo as the poster-game of the board.

i vote keep halo1 (hurrr) forum as is, and give all the others a blah-sub-forum and sort it out with thread tags [h2v][h3][odst] etc.

as for how to separate out what's contained in tech/offtopic, i don't really care.
