I, for one, even though I'm not participating in it, have really enjoyed reading all the rampant mathematical speculation and discussion. It's kind of what the forum is for, fans discussing things they're passionate about.

One could argue that ranting about our frustrations with Halo 4 has been done to death and you should move on with your life. But I also enjoyed reading what you had to say, and comparing it with my own feelings about the game. It's a forum for fans to be fans and go wild (within reason....I think). That's all these guys are doing.
