Probably should. Anyone who has been on GAF for a number of years is bound to have been banned at least once or twice.

It's definitely the same pass:
Why would they use the word "separately" if it is not include with a other edition?
Hemorrhage brings out the worst.

I really did not mind a zoojoo, If he slowed down his posting and posted only halo stuff and provided valuable discussion material it would not of been so bad. The guys sense of humour obviously translated badly to words but I'd say he meant well and he just wanted to fit in and be liked. It must be hard for some outsiders to come into a new group like this. I practically begged Ryan to join us in here via PM's because I knew he liked halo. Iv also got a buddy who is pretty weary of starting to post because like he said "The majority of the conversations feel like personal discussions and its difficult to find an in with us lot"
I know it's not intentional and we are more than happy for "good" new members to join the group but from the other side of the fence HaloGAF is a pretty tight nit community and we can give the appearance of being "Closed Off"
Just some food for thought.
It's one of the biggest reasons I do not visit HBO, I have barely any idea what is going on. Curious as to if any reason exists why HBO has not adopted and "real" forum. I know a lot of the members like the layout.

Who knows how business and marketing people think?
That "Separately" reassures me, a bit.
It's because you care.

I posted this like a year or two ago and blew minds. Welcome to HBO 1998!

It is HBO's way to scare new user.
I saw that too. Damn Tashi got the hook-up on the H4 low down.

Guys, now that zoojoo's banned we can finally stop filling up pages just talking about him.
So can we please stop talking about him?

Is there an avatar/picture you'd like to be used to represent you in the video? Your current one would be kind of difficult to implement considering most of the others are heads/emblems/etc.
It's slightly better, but man...
Well, it works. On me anyways...
Are you seriously making a video? What do you got so far?
What else we can talk about?
BR vs AR?
Spartan Laser and whether it is OP or not?
!!!
Nothing can stop it now. It is the way of things.
Pretty much what Hyper says. Wu is a one-man army, and the forums work, so unless someone comes to him with a complete solution that won't cause problems I'm pretty sure he'll keep what he's got going.
I was originally of the mind I'd hate the old skool layout, but aside from setting prefs I get the hang of it pretty quickly.
The definite advantage over GAF is you can quickly look and see what's new. In terms of finding out new info that's a big help.

Louis Wu is old as hell guys; you don't think looking at NeoGAF hurts his eyes? Have some consideration for the 1997 forum design.

Maybe his old avatar, it was pretty awesome.

Plenty of free forum templates exist and a few are very inexpensive to buy the usage rights for. Even besides that im sure that their is at least a few members of the HBO community who could knock up a decent forum in a short period of time.
I'm wondering if its a bandwidth problem or something similar.

Lol... "We like it the way it is" can't be an option?

Yeah, I feel like doing this also, but I also feel like I am setting myself up for major disappointment. It would be so strange if we did not get any promethean/forerunner vehicles.
We better at least get the Chopper back. I feel like it is the BR of vehicles.
Ah, that would make sense.
I have been wondering this also, and while one would assume LE owners would get that DLC also, who knows at this point..
That better mean an actual new video...But somehow Im not too confident about it. Maybe he just saved one from Comic Con or something?

I doubt Wu will put up with his shit.
I'll let you figure it out.
Huh, didn't know starwolf got perma, what did he do? I was wondering where he was, lol.

Sure it can. Like it said iv seen stuff before from members saying they like how it currently is. Just from an accessibility stand point it's not the gold standard.

So far? Just Wu's amazing cutscene library, a metric fuckton of music, sony vegas, everyone (save Slightly Live's) avatars that I need for this trailer, etc. This is just a teaser, I have no idea when I'll be able to make the full video.
What was it? And if it's what Slightly Live wants to use, can you link it?

Where has Wu been? Looking forward to saying hello again at PAX. Waited in line with him, eazyb and Devin and the gang on 2010.
Need to get the PAX stuff solidified. Wonder what Frank and David's schedules are. Need to fit drinks in sometime.
(Soda for you younger guys, I guess?)

We'll obviously keep a close eye. If he offers no problems, we'll have none.
A valid point on both accounts, lol.

oh my god I can read HBO now. Thanks Live
What it has, over every single vBulletin-style forum I've ever looked at (and i've looked at a LOT), is a straightforward, easy-to-understand threading system, and a default layout that uses it. For a small community like ours, this makes it far, far easier to keep conversations relevant to all readers. (If there's something you don't care about, you can ignore the entire thread - and you can skip subthreads that go in directions you're not interested. On GAF, and any other standard flat-style board, this is not feasible. I've used vBulletin - hell, I've set it up for clients - and while it HAS a threaded mode, it's so underused (and badly implemented) it might as well not have one.
It fits the community. Nothing better has presented itself (money's not really an issue, but functionality is), so we stick with it. It wasn't DESIGNED as a barrier to entry - but it acts as one, to some degree; most people who can't be bothered to figure out how it works probably wouldn't have that much to add to the conversation anyway.

That's pretty much the long and short of it.

Someone suggested this in the last OT, but we should have a HaloGAF contact sharing thingy.

I thought Josh Holmes said pretty directly at the SDCC panel that there is going to be one remake.

Do you mean a secret message/dance, so we can recognize each other as gaffers?
He said there is a possibility but David reminded the crowd they are trying something new. And who are these guys who are wishing a remake? It does not work with 4's gameplay.

Go to "Set Preferences" and change the List Style to "Compressed List", your Display Style to "Guestbook", and your Sort Order to "UBB Order". It even has a description at the bottom for what settings to use to be the most like the forum styles you are probably most comfortable with already.

Only thing I've seen from RvB that I like. The part where he ejects Jorge gets me every time.

I meant phone #s or emails, but that works too.

It remains to be seen how silky smooth their network which cannot have spectator mode due to lack of bandwidth, will be.
I don't know where I was going with that but don't say "eww dedis."

What about what Reddit uses? or is that their proprietary system?What it has, over every single vBulletin-style forum I've ever looked at (and i've looked at a LOT), is a straightforward, easy-to-understand threading system, and a default layout that uses it.
