I mean, I figured it out when I was twelve. If that's too much for someone to handle then . . . I don't know. I don't want to be an asshole, but really? That's about the lowest obstacle I've ever seen.

: If you want to get HBO back to the good old days, you need people to come
: here to speculate and pick over the story of Halo. Otherwise, we'll die a
: slow death as the people who made their home here move on to other things.

That's just it, though. Many folks have moved on to other things. The video game landscape has changed so much. Halo isn't what it used to be, and that's not a dig at 343i; it would be true if Bungie was still in charge. Halo is no longer the most popular shooter that is defining the genre. This place will never again be like it was in the lead up to Halo 2. It just won't happen. I think there's too much going on in gaming for Halo to take over like it did before. Too much competition for folks' time.

I don't see anything wrong with this place, though. It what was always going to happen. Things change and fade away; the people that are here are the folks that really love Halo and want the best from it.
