I don't understand what was wrong with the titles before? They had a single job to do, inform. And that they did. Don't fix something that isn't broken.

We wanted to be different, to have something that set us apart from something like a technical support forum. We are a Halo site, and so why not be more "halo-like"? You are always complaining about things like the Graphics forum not being Halo related, so when we do change something to make it Halo related you think it shouldn't be... for better or for worse we will see where this goes.

It doesn't NEED to be changed...
Don't stray from the topic at hand.

This forum is turning into a movie. With new-users having to figure out who is playing what role.

Just because it doesn't need it doesn't mean we can't try something new once in a while, how boring would it be if we never tried anything new and kept it the same forever? I don't think it would be that difficult to figure out that someone with a rank like Lieutenant or Captain would mean they are someone of importance, you have far too little faith in our user base.

That's because the majority of the 'user-base' is full of idiot, whom with which you practically have to hold their hands for them to learn anything around here.

Well then they can figure it out themselves...

How many of them do you think actually read it though? I'll put my bet on less than 25 a week =/

Ignorance is no excuse.

Veegie[Temp] · Post by **Veegie[Temp]** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:08 pm

It may not be an excuse. But that doesn't change the fact that hardly any of them read them.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:10 pm

The staff should not be held responsible for the users not reading the rules.

V0Lt4Ge · Post by **V0Lt4Ge** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:11 pm

Bah, I just realized something: What about Arbiters?

Are they just... Arbiters still?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:12 pm

"Arbiter" is already Halo related.

V0Lt4Ge · Post by **V0Lt4Ge** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 6:13 pm

Not Navy related though.

Oh, what do I know...

That's pretty much what I said when they discussed this. I don't understand this idea. No point.
