Interest new bots found a way around spam defense to post, the posts are long deleted now. We win today but best hope for a better tomorrow. There was one day I had to delete over 1,000 messages from bots and this was lightwork compared to that. 

Ahhhh yeaaa love doin that. I remember that bot game from the Archive. 

Started this show called Scavengers Reign. If you want to watch something that makes you say wtf, why, and how...all the time. Watch it. 

Sunrises/Early mornings are amazing imo. It's quiet but just loud enough to hear the day start its "engine". Crisp feelings too.

Skate, thats what I tend or try to do every day for a few hours.

Halo Infinite of course. But been choked by Starfield and Cyberpunk. Trying to finish those two. Need to get back to Stray and Star Trek Resurgence just to finish them.

Instead of being an archive for things like Halo mods. Halopedia is currently the best place of all Halo content to be "archived". I suggest we have some sort of partnership with them in a way they can utilize us (the forums/site) and us utilize them (maybe make a more nicer looking archive list that is more concise or streamlined compared to the pedia and its heft). 

The Bear is a great show. Ted Lasso is a quality show, I'd personally say top 5 or 3 of all time for tv shows. Foundation is neat too, been reading the books to get into it more, obviously the show isnt like the books completely. 

Currently on; Only Murders in the Building, Warrior, and maybe another DC show of Alfred origin story or Gotham Knights. 

I highly suggest you all to watch The Onion Movie, Kuso, and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. All are fantastic movies that everyone should see. 

A little late to this, but here it is. Name is Venture Jones or Jones. Started with Halo CE, but I also like all of the Halos for their own things. I tend to always play the most recent game though. Joined ONI around 2022, so still super fresh. Before here I helped at the Halo Archive, before their forums shut down.

Forgot to add in those Amory comics. Finished the first one The Second Stage Turbine Blade and now on In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3.

I think Optic as well, but this season is a more tight knit race for the top 5 or so teams that it could be anyone.

Here is my never ending playlist:

And here is my current jam:

Not Twitch, but I got a TikTok I use for Halo clips and some others. 

Now on these

• Robots and Empire - Isaac Asimov
• How to Skateboard and Not Kill Yourself - Rodney Mullen
• Let My People Go Surfing - Yvon Chouinard

I like the tiers and price points. Great incentives too. Now with the higher tiers like Deputy Director and up, do they have hands on abilities in the development of this site/place. Sort of like chairmen in a sense? Investors maybe.

I kept him on the ship the entire time. He didn't give me shit, makes sense being stuck in the ship. So I told him to go. I only picked him because I actually didnt like all the other options. I picked the Parent one and 1 other I cant remember but was similar in a sense of not being an actual gameplay change. Not the house though.

I didnt see what happened. But a friend said that someone said that too and soon after got dog piled with fists, I could've misheard him tho (idk how). Overall, APG has gotten a lot of flack in Infinite and I can't attest to the past (though I am sure it was race focused and could easily be now) but in chats about him from the streams or reddit, etc, they mostly hate him because his stats are "trash" or he isnt able to "keep up" and due to that should be dropped. Yet APG always proves them wrong every time. Watching APG's own streams, when he talks about this, he knows he is the shit and that the trash talk is coming from trash people. I'd say most pros or those active in the comp scene would say APG is legit and one of the best at what he does, support.

Im indifferent to CoD stuff. But I never played it for a more realistic experience. I played Battlefield for that, personally. Which 2042 is pretty good now since its rough start.

Yea, with maybe 10 hours in. I can tell that if you want to do everything, it could take some time. I want to say it could take maybe a year. Or more if you are just on it every now and then. That info will soon come out though.

Fantastic idea(s). I will mention this to those I come across that are viable candidates.

I definitely want to hear from more people on how it worked out and if they were satisfied climbing that kind of system

From my experience, most were ok with it and how it worked. But how you moved up was a little odd in a sense it was like merit based. So if you helped a lot in your Rate (Lifeworkers helping hold game nights or gain new members, social stuff or Miners obtaining finite info for the Builders to then organize, etc) you would then move up. I have told past Archivers to check this place out as another new option since the Archive is gone, so hopefully most come here and you can ask them! I got names too if you want to reach out other ways, I dont think those I have in mind, would mind to talk, they'd be happy probably.

I don't even know how they got around to do that

As former staff, we literally just copied the Forerunner structure. I came in tho near its ending last years, so unsure how they gathered the info to figure it out. But that was the purpose of the Archive, to dig into the lore and theorize all of it.

Unsure how to edit my posts. But on the topic of how hard it was to climb the ranks. Was dependent on each Rate. So Lifeworkers and Builders would have different ways for example. Some Rates had more "leaders" than others, but that was also due to each Rates population. Miners, were the least populated, but they did all the work in locating info. Builders from there would take it over and organize it with them. Really cool cohesive kind of thing.

EDIT: that was cool how it added to my last comment...very neat.

It's been great so far. Nice variety of maps too.

I know on the Archive it was split up into separate communities. Like Lifeworkers, Builders, Miners, to replicate the Forerunner Rates. So they each had their own "end" or top level. But outside of that it was those who ran it who had the "highest" ranks/rates.

Definitely watching it from afar to see how it all plays out.

Im open to try for mine. I think its only me and Oompa. But I'd probably test out stuff with them, trial and error type.

Yes, but from the last news it was speculation of a BR mode for Halo. Other than that, no hard news from what I have seen or can find.
