PSA: Me

Well, I wasn't around at GBX so I don't know what acquaintances people at Modacity in 2006 had, but I'm sure we didn't really get into the heavy shit until like 2007+. I found H2V.net from a website (can't remember the name now) that had CMT info and map downloads. I was referred to that site from Halomods. I guess I just got lucky (heh) when I registered on H2V.

i was back in gbx and was there when both websites where in their prime.
anybody remember whiplash as a mod?

el oh el.

the point is people that are worried about new people being butthurt for being told their wrong keep forgetting that we arnt getting new members.

Personally I think the real value of the rep system was not in the little colored squares, but in the ability to leave a comment on someone's post without shitting up the thread in question. Just bring rep back but don't have the colored bars, that should pretty well eliminate any possibility of circle jerking. Instead you could just leave a count on the side of someone's post of how many times it's been +repped or -repped. Maybe even change the color of the post if it gets too far in one direction.

Yup, this is true. Two or three regulars. But think about all the others who didn't get their shit together when that happened. They outweigh the ones we did get to. When a person gets slammed like that, their first reaction is probably: "fuck these people" and then they aren't as active for a while and most of the time didn't do much more than lurk.

then they are clearly emotionally insecure to such a point that they wouldn't last here anyway. nothing of value lost.

This community is dead to me if a decent gamenight isn't organized.

amen

Truth be told.

Truth be told.

I feel like even with a gamenight, it's dead if there's no h3/hreach pc released that doesn't have a retarded anticheat that will stop us from modding.

So, this thread has run its course, no? I think our discussion in this thread has basically steered itself into the "Kill Modacity" thread. Let's pick it up there, shall we?

Heres the deal, the site won't die until the hosting gets shut off, that said, we aren't in a 'living state' either. This site is now a retirement home for members. It's a place to hang out and get jack shit done and to be honest - I'm perfectly happy with that. Everyonce in a while someone posts something awesome and it puts a smile on my face, but I don't come to the site any more expecting new, decent content lurking in every post - that just doesn't happen any more.

I've known people on this site for 8 years and many more who no longer are apart of the Halo community, if this site does shut down, we all won't just suddenly stop talking to each other.

Edit: Amits right, I'm even confused about which thread I posted in.
