It was better than this, I can guarantee that.

We used to stand for something then.

Jono · March 01, 2015, 11:59:25 PM

Because it was... minus the Reach Forum of course.

Eh. Reachtards get replaced by Desticles, and the cycle continues.
The management was a lot better, though, and people didn't go blind.

Right?? Don't these idiots know that if you take inspiration from something you're never allowed to criticize it?

It was bad. Religious and political discussions were forbidden, first of all. And everyone there acted like Halo 3 was the greatest game ever.

Yeah, we used to stand for talking on a forum where the mods would make us sit back down again.

It was good, but it wasn't some fucking nexus of moral crusades and integrity of character.

The Lawless times were pretty cool, but everyone whinged for moderation.

Admittedly it wasn't that great and I pretty frequently asked myself why I stuck around, but it has good memories and is a million times better than what Bungie is now. I don't feel that b.old is better or worse than Sep7agon, just an important part of our history.

Mattie G Indahouse · March 02, 2015, 05:18:19 AM

Remember the carpet bans? Yeah that shit was great. There was nothing like somebody getting banned all because they accidentally posted in the wrong thread or being banned for posting in it before it went to shit.

Made it exciting though.

What we really miss is having an authority worth fighting.
