Hey guys, this is important so stick this one out, okay? I started this board on August 19, 2011 so almost exactly one year ago. Whatever the reasons at the time were, they don't matter anymore. We've made it through one whole year with relatively few bumps and have even grown a bit. Safe to say, I never expected this site to grow as it has and so when I impulse created it, I didn't do much research. I picked a hosted message board I was familiar with and ran with that. As time went on, it became evident that 1. We somehow haven't gotten sick of each other yet. 2. This site just doesn't have the flexibility I'd like. There has been interest in having a blog type feature in addition to the forums for a while and the Portal was the closest we could get to that here. I started idly looking into things and looking around and just researching. Then, as you guys all noticed, the normal HS.com URL cryptically stopped working for no apparent reason. I fibbed a little with that, the URL works just fine. So, without any more rambling ladies and gents - Halo Social. It's neither perfect nor complete at this time but it's a step in the right direction, I think. I've been working on this for a few weeks now which is why I've been a little MIA around here. Now, the bad news. Unfortunately, there is no real way to migrate the forum database/history from here to there as zetaboard hosts their own stuff and doesn't make transferring easy. That means that all posts and credentials are going to stay here. In a few weeks I'll be reverting this board back to the default URL and letting it basically fade away as we move our activities to our new home. That also means you guys are going to have to reregister on the new forums and for that, I apologize. Feel free to use something other than your GT as a name if you'd like but I ask that you do keep it reasonable. Feel free to ask questions if you have them but hopefully it's pretty straightforward. Here's to another great year and many more to come! Sam |

YESYESYESYES. As such, I suggest we start creating new threads etc for all our activities over in our new home, rather than repeatedly posting here. He says, posting here. |

I agree. And THIS is why I wanted to hold off on things like the recipe swap thread and such.

Clicks on link Spits wine all over laptop due to being fucking AMAZED. Proceeds to excitedly explore new site. Sam, you are beyond awesome. If I owned a cookie factory, I would let you have free and unrestricted access to all areas and products of it.

Aww guys. ![]() But thank you. I know the homepage especially still needs some work between now and Halo 4's launch but we DO have a few months left before then, right?

Oh I almost forgot - I think you guys will have to post an intro thread before you can post elsewhere on the forums. Just how we had to set things up for the long run. |

How are we going to tackle daily challenges? Employ a similar approach as we do now? Or just have one long-running thread rather than individual ones? Or something else entirely? Also I'm going to continue using this board for the "HORSE Round 1" thread just because it's easier that way, but from Round 2 I'll move to the new site

I say we just go with one running thread for challenges for now then people can just bookmark that thread. Once I get the blog side stabilized, we'll revisit that maybe. And on the HORSE stuff, totally understand.

In it's current form, likely not. Feel free to start a "running chain of thoughts" thread or something if you'd like. |

I registered but made a mistake on my username - is there a way to change it? If it's easier, you can just delete the account and I can start again - sorry |
