Site Update & New THF Moderators

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I've posted. I'm going to give a quick status update on the site and then move on to the more primary topic, which is adding new moderators.

Site Bug Fixes

There have been a few primary issues with the site recently:

  • New registrations and account recovery was not functioning.
  • Donation system was bugged/inconsistent.

These two issues have been addressed. I want to apologize for the delay in getting these issues resolved. There are a lot of moving parts to this site, and services such as Google's captcha service (which was the underlying issue for the registrations/account recovery) are always changing, so keeping up with the bugs that might produce is non stop.

THF 2016 Montage Competition

This years montage competition is still a go. For those who have already submitted their video but have not paid the $5 entry fee, please use the donation block on the left hand side of the forums to complete your entry. If you've already paid the entry fee, and have added your video to our videos section, then you're already good to go.

New Moderators

We have added three new(ish) mods to the staff: @Hable, @Scace, and @BxSouljah

In addition to these new mods, we would like to add another 3-4 moderators to the site. Mods help with the following items:

  • Helping users recover old accounts.
  • Deleting spam and banning offenders.
  • Username changes.
  • General forum moderating and housekeeping.

If you would like to be considered for moderator, or know of a user you think would make a good candidate, please post your suggestions in this thread. I will review the suggestions with the existing mods and add the 3 to 4 new mods as soon as a decision has been made.

Thanks everyone.

Hey, I'd be happy to help moderate The Halo Forum by sorting out issues with accounts, spam, and just generally helping out etc. Have a bit of experience with moderating so I'm sure I'd be able to help out. Looking forward to improvements on the site anyhow :D

By the way, I'm in the UK - so usually online from 8am to 1am GMT - so that'd cover times American people might be asleep.

I think Hyena, Halzred or B Sik would be fine mods. 

edit: I'm fine with Fatal & Renzy as well

I'd suggest Marksman if he wants to do it.

EDIT: Yeah, I'm up for it as well.

mod me up cuz

B seems like he'd make a pretty good mod.

Fatal, Marksman and B all seem like good mod choices, imo

EDIT: RIP Crow & Geo thread. Gone too soon :'(

Fatal, Marksman, and Hyena all seem like good choices to me

Wohoo!

I also suggest B for mod.

I'll help if you need. 

Also B was a mod for a while so obvious choice there. 

Just shut the site down.
crown and lil scrappy seem like good choices to me
so a few days after hable makes a new forum for these exact reasons this guy wants to come back and finally do something...... lol k
I'll throw my name in the hat. I'll try to be less of a sarcastic dick and nicer to new members... if we get any. I think B and Fatal would be good though.
you could probably mod up Pistol's dead body before me.

R.I.P. best thread of 2016. Seriously why did we delete that thread? Just remove his pages of spam.

Wait, did Pistol die?

Fatal and Marksman should do a good job i think
Can we get an official call on the real deadline of the contest? Currently we have August 1st, September 1st and October 1st scattered around different announcements.

nah no clue, just assumed from where he left off with us.

Hyena and Marksman sounds like good candidates, considering the time zone diversity benefit it will bring (if they have a normal sleeping pattern).  And they seem like proper guys. 
It's definitely not August 1st. The only reason they were extending it to October was to accommodate for the confusion that the move over to HiB might have caused but since the contest is sticking with THF, it's safe to say the deadline is still September 1st. Hopefully Scace, Hable, or someone else can confirm it soon.
I am also wondering this, and also wondering if the contest is even on here or on HiB. Which website is the montage contest even on? How do I submit my $5? What is the deadline?
The contest is staying on THF. You can pay your entry fee through the donation tab now since Nv1 fixed it. You should see a widget on the left when you go to the forums tab which will let you donate $5.
Deadline is September 1st I changed it in the article as well to eliminate confusion.
Noted. Thanks for clarifying this question.

Is that guy's name Jared?

So what will happen to http://forum.haloisback.com/home/ ?

Same as before. 2 separate sites for 2 different purposes. I still post on both every day :)

The contest is STAYING at THF

FORGET about moving to HiB for the contest

This.

I'm pretty sure Pistol wasn't trying to get into 10 year old girls pants. But I could be mistaken.

Could someone explain what this is?

Sup fuckers!? Long time...

Shit yeah, it has. I want more sweat nights!
