So in this Halo 4 forum, I’ve never seen a 343 employee actually post in someone’s thread. I know in Bungie’s forum when an employee would post their emblem would be gold for everyone to know. So my question – why don’t 343 employees post here? Or am I just in the wrong place? I have heard of NeoGaf, but I don’t know what it is – someone explain to me please. I like Bungie’s forum because the employees would interact with the fans, which is what I always adored.
One of the main threads up top says that 343 reads these forums. But they never post. Or maybe they post using normal accounts to blend in.
It’s because NeoGAF is more active, and it gets posted here anyways. Also NeoGAF doesn’t just allow anyone to join. They have to authorize accounts, unlike here.
But what is NeoGaf and why are guys like Frank O’Conner there and not here? And how do people get authorized? And why don’t 343i post on Waypoint? Sorry for so many questions
They don’t like us.(Forum goers) We -Yoink- to much.

Indeed. We’d just be a distraction to any 343er that tries to be active in this community. Members calling them out on certain matters and making them feel obligated to give a response over the tiniest matter.
It’s better this way.
If they post on this site, which is not often the rank, “administration” appears under their name.
But one of my questions is why don’t they post here?
This is home.
Frankie and crew are spreading the word elsewhere because we know this is where he hangs his hat.
As much as it would be great to have him speaking non-stop to us, it’s not us that need to know about Halo, and everything that is seeded elsewhere eventually grows back to here.

Yes sir it is. I just got approved 2 weeks ago so I’m rolling a Junior Member account. It took like 2 months to actually get that but that community is fantastic compared to here.
> But one of my questions is why don’t they post here?
Because anything posted on here is taken as Biblical truth. On Neogaf, Frankie tends to post lost of humorous stuff, and a lot of people don’t know it’s him actually.
> But one of my questions is why don’t they post here?
But they do. They might be prolific posters but they DO post here.

But I don’t understand. I have, at least I don’t think, ever seen a 343 employee post on the Halo 4 forum. I’ve been on this forum mostly offline for half a year but have not seen any interaction.
The closest thing to a 343 member that posts on this site is a monitor.
Thing is don’t you want them spending more time reading and collating our collective thoughts rather than chatting idly with us?
I’m in favour of the odd post here and there but overall I’m happy we have the forums to express wide ranging opinions and they cherry pick what they want from the pool of feedback.
I’d prefer to see the polling booth given some major attention and the more members voted on the huge range of points in there the easier the feedback straight to 343i.
Also you can’t tell me we haven’t been spoilt for information and details in the last couple of months. Events, videos, articles, bulletins, interviews, youtube videos…just how much do you want, really?

I promise you they post. Frankie came around not too long ago and hung out for a bit. Just because you haven’t seen them doesn’t mean they aren’t here.

Yes, but I feel that no person actually goes on these forums other than us and ‘bs angel,’ but all she does is post articles 
They rarely rarely post here. Besides, I think Frankie suffered from a concussion, after face bricking to our halo 4 forum.

What would you title bsAngel? She posts all the time and also Frankie posted over 150 times too. You’re just not aware when they do post.

I have honestly never seen 343 post in the Halo 4 forums and I’m on here usually all day listening to what people are writing about. Maybe they do post, but it’s very rare then.
