343i 25th Weekly Community Poll

[BeckoningZebra1]

Welcome All to the 25th 343i Weekly Community Poll!

 

Last week I asked which Halo game had the best forge, you voted, and now the results are in and final, the Halo with the best Forge is:

Halo Reach! Listen to what The Dumb Marine had to say about Halo Reach's Forge:

All in all, I think (In my opinion) that Halo: Reach's forge mode had been the best. Though it doesn't rival Halo 4's Magnets, Dynamic Lighting, and duplication, Halo: Reach had a more vivid look to its items, Instead of a foam look. Halo: Reach also had more than just UNSC created items, Featuring covenant crates, gravity lifts, and objects that appeared more forerunner than anything! Halo: Reach also had Forge World, Which had a good balance between land and water, Making it possible to connect your fort to the island, or blood gulch. Also, You can't just leave out the colored Mongooses either!!

 

 

Moving on to this week's community poll, we have a- hmm? What's that now? You say today is the 25th of March? Wait...that means...

[Coldfreeze]

The community.

 

My first day on the forums and I felt welcome, now I made some new friends to play Halo with and find a community which is just as devoted to Halo as me. 

 

The mods enforce the rules, but are never seen as authority figures. To be part of this community is one of the nicest things to be, you can expect to be helped with your answers, fought against for you challenges, but most of all: Feel welcome and be a part of someting.

 

No matter what race, sexe, age or preference. you are treated as friends and family.

 

I thank you all for making me feel welcome and I wish for everyone new, to have the same experience as me.

 

Thank you 343I community and on to the next 3 amazing years!

The mods enforce the rules, but are never seen as authority figures.

I'm not seen as authority? Crap I'm doing my job wrong

 

To answer you Zebra; The Shoutbox members.

Ohhh, that's a hard question... *insert thinking noises here* 

 

... *more thinking noises*

 

... *light bulb!*

 

I'd have to say that my favorite part of being a member on the Forum is: That we are so accepting of different cultures and views. For example, i was a part of a Forum (which name shall remained unmentioned) that was just so racist and picking on religious beliefs etc etc, that i ended up leaving. Now, this may not sound like like much, but it definitely goes a long way to make this community unique and welcoming.

As, coldfreeze said, the community.

This is probably THE best gaming community here, and i will explain why now.

1. No one has a problem with anyone else. By this i mean, just because you may like/appreciate different things to the next member, there is no kind of bashing or other things like that going on, instead we accept each other's opinion and look for constructive ways to argue against it, its not like "HAHA PC MASTER RACE" or "OMG HALO IS THE BEST GAME EVER". Everyone is different, and everyone has a different opinion.

2. The types of members, as said previously, every member is different and that is very good, if every member was the same (more so on halo waypoint) then the site would get old and everyone would be boring, but no, everyone is unique.

3. Everyone thinks they're equal, despite their position (Aside from you King Azaxx ), but no, the mods are not some overpowerful people who think you should do what the say or its a ban, there's no form of dictatorship, everyone has to apply to the same rules but there's still a free sense of having your own kind of friends and people who you can interact with, and you can actually talk to the mods, unlike on some forums where they are 100 miles away.

4. There is no wall between the members, everyone talks to each other and everyone is friendly, there is no Silvers vs green (as much as we'd like it) or other such things, like that, or even our join date doesn't matter (this was brought up so often on the MLG sites/Waypoint) everyone welcomes everyone and everyone appreciates everyone else.

5. No one thinks they're better than anyone, links to the point above.

6. Twam, Twam has built an excellent site which is user friendly and easy to access, and so can be navigated easily and that means no one leaves because they struggle with things.

7. Everyone wants to help each other in anyway they can, this means that no one neglects or refuses to help one another, we all do it and we all want to make sure that we all get the best experience out of the site we possibly can.

8. You guys, you guys are amazing. as pointed out, there is so much more that can be said but if i said it all there wouldn't be enough pages to put it all in. You are the heart, the lungs, basically all parts of the body in reference to this forum and without any of you guys, none of us would be here today.

Thankyou all <3

The first day I came here, I really didn't know what this was all about. Then I started to get to know you people by spending countless hours in the SB. I just recently began my purple quest, to become purple, so my posts were made mostly in the past month, so its safe to say I sepent 6.5 days of my 7 spent on here, talking to everyone in the shoutbox. Again thanks, for not being not nice (Also, take a look at my join date...)

[Drizzy_Dan]

It's all the members that make this place what it is. Some sites have anniversaries and it doesn't really feel like a special occasion but the fact that this site is 3 years old, I think everyone can feel the excitement in that. Long live 343industries.org and all of its members, old and new.

[MCPO Mayh3m]

What do you guys keep going on an on about this "community is what keeps me here"?

 

I stay for the free cookies and chicken dinner every friday night.

[Yoshi1176]

My favorite part of the forum is being able to log on at any time of the day and have people to talk to and joke around with. When I'm just tired of the stresses of the real world I can come here and relax and talk to good friends of mine or just make new friends. This community is very member oriented unlike many other places. 

 

This forum would be nothing without its members, from the moderators that keep us in line to the guys who give us the daily scoop on whats going on in the gaming world, none of this would be possible without everyone putting in their part.

[Unease Peanut]

The hospitality of each and every member here. Everybody is accepted as who they are. Which is an amazing thing to ahev in a forum.

 

The freedom to speak your mind (as long there's no profanity).

 

And playing games with you guys! 

[Caboose The Ace]

What is the greatest thing about this place ?

 

The community ...

 

The community here is a amazing everyone is friendly to one another and no is better than the other ( besides Azaxx. ) there are no walls between members no evil mods a easy to use site , lots of playdates

 

Is this and all the reasons enough above enough to prove this place is one of the best ( if not best ) forums out there for Halo ?!

[TDM]

I just love how I am popular enough to the point to go on hiatus for a long time and come back and know that everyone is like, "WOAH!!! HE IS BACK IN DA HOUSE!!"

 

Nah, Not only that. Just the fact that you all are a family to me, Even if sometimes we don't get along, Who hasn't heard of sibling rivalry? You all are amazing people, and we all have our place here, Whether it be Twam's unlimited 343i spending fund, or Azaxx's creepy 'I'm gonna stalk you' trait, Or even Church's very own #BanChurch2013/2014 jokes. We all stick together like a giant cloud of lighting, Ready to strike anyone who is willing to take us on, Which is where our very amazing friend Onsokumaru comes in, As he and his ninjas put time aside to fight us every so often, And as they get better, We do too! So if anything, I just love being here, The scent, the feels, the weasels! Everything about this place makes it the friendliest corner on the internet.

[Ranger Intel]

I guess my vote goes to every non-banned active Member here, including all staff, ex-staff and obviously . You are all what make this Community what it is.
