Also if you plan for this place to get big, Anarchy will probably have to go at some point.
Why? The way I see it, Anarchy is our main draw.

In a word, advertisers. If this place gets big then you'll get a bunch of newer people who are unaffiliated with Bungie.net. Think an IGN or Giant Bomb.

How would it look to potential advertisers and investors if it was widely known that both of those places had unmoderated sections in their forums where users could pretty much post anything except for child porn? They wouldn't have gotten nearly as far as they have today.

This is a serious possibility. Right now, we can support ourselves with the ads we have. If we get too large, we'll need a VPS or a dedicated server. That would cost more money and if that were to happen, and we had that many people, yeah...Anarchy would have to say goodbye.

The plus side is that the rest of the forums would be populated out of our ass.

I am always around, but never seen. I am often avoided, but you can't out run me. for I will come when you're old and grey, or maybe even the very next day. I will come with cold embrace, and give you rest with a chilled kiss on your face. I come in many forms of emotional state, whether it's irony, love, laughter, or hate. I am everyone's final fate.
I'm thinking either a black shirt, white words,, blue logo.
Or a white shirt, Black words, blue logo.
Charcoal or black, most likely. I'm a fan of charcoal. We can't have a white shirt, though; we're the dark forum.
Oh yeah, I love those textured charcoal shirts.
White and blue plastisol. That would work perfectly.
Nuka, get back to that damn shop and make these shirts!
I'll chip in for the monies, get an estimate.
I can get shirts $3-5 bucks a pop from a wholesale store in my city, but like I said I don't have access until next January. I've sold the shirts I made at conventions before and they were pretty successful. I love doing it.
For the time being then let's just go through a website, to make the shirts. :P
This frustrates me, but I know there's not much I can do about it.
It's all good, mang. :) I think it would be dope if you were like the official tee-shirt guy.

I'm all for the Youtube Idea, reviewing games and doing walkthroughs etc.

We need someone with video editing skills, someone who's good at speaking and anyone with capture cards prepared to upload footage on a regular basis.

We could have like a Vocaroo thread, see who has the best voice to become the Septagon Youtuber. :P And who ever that is could send their videos to my buddy to edit it.

If we ever get some content creation that takes off (YouTube vids, more recent game reviews, etc.) we could stay strong for a good long while.

Also, as long as Bungie.net sucks we should be reasonably fine.
Hmm...I don't like the idea that we ride off of Bungie. I think we should stick with them for a bit, absorb the better members and just become an independent gaming site.

Awwwww <3 ;)
Absorbing you in our mass was the best thing to happen thus far. <3

Whoa, what the hell? We're NOT allowed to post child porn? I really have to reconsider being here now...

I'm sorry Camnator. I know little boy booty was your thing, but it just can't happen here.

 But it can. It's just it was terribly optimized and shouldn't require the specs it does.

on a side note-Apparently that's what my ex-gf had "a little boy booty". People then began to question my sexuality. XD

I have a few plans for some original content. The "Food for Thought" series is something I figured out as I want to submit more critical outlooks on games (without being a perfectionist) since it might be OK content for the community, my target is a weekly release. I'll share the rest of my ideas as they get done.

One of my friends is trying to set up his own Youtube channel.
He's currently doing Gears of War walkthroughs to test things out.

I'll see about directing him here.

It could be a secret users before a certain date place. Like a group of elite ppl.

Eh, I was an SNES kid so I loved Mega Man X and all those games. MArio and whatnot, and I love Super Smash Brothers. Besides Halo I really don't care much for FPS games. I love most Strategy and a lot of RPG games. I tried Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and thought it was OK, and Battlefield 3 was good, I also played Black Ops 2 Zombies which my brother and I LOVE! (And the Wii U controllers are even better than 360 for me, but nothing beats the big original Xbox one)
Aw shit nigga!
Nintendo FTW! :D

Also I think the first order of business is a stand alone mobile app. That's the main complaint I've heard from people I've tried advertising to.

Awesome, I think this needs to actually become a thing, the more we distance ourselves from Bungie and the more we become our own thing the better, still keeping the name "The Flood" obviously, after all neither Bungie or Microsoft own the word "Flood" or "Septagon" and neither company uses it for their communities offtopic boards.

Now all we need is to decide a few things, people who can edit videos, people who can record videos, and those willing to create content on a fairly regular basis.

Goals are great and all, but do we really want to get very big? I'm quite content with a closer-knit community, and I doubt that anyone here wants the clusterfuck of chaos, anonymity, and general pointlessness that larger communities have. B.old flood was great because it was just large enough to be entertaining while still retaining a sense of belonging. We need to keep this in mind as we move forward.
