I know what you're thinking! Really, I do. Something along the lines of: Oh yay! It's Sunday! And not just any Sunday, but one of the two Sunday's during which Forge Hub's site update is published for all to read and enjoy! I am incredibly excited to see just what is up at my favorite online forging home! I'm so excited I might explode!!11!
Something like that, right?
I know you all too well.
All ur filez r belong 2 us.File sharing. It's what we do. It's why we're here. File sharing is the single thing that has brought this community to stand as strong as it is today. However, while Bungie and 343i transfer files we are unable to continue our file sharing services. It's just temporary, don't panic. As soon as we are able to snag in-game photos and post links to our files online again we will return with the power of a thousand angry stallions.
But I have a map and I WANT TO POST IT RIGHT NOW!!!!
Well, unfortunately, Mr. Manlyman, we have rules here on Forge Hub, and with Bungie's file sharing services currently down no one is currently capable of posting a map up the standards of the Hub. You're more than welcomed to post a map preview, but an official map post will have to be held off until further notice.
For more information regarding the fileshare lockout please visit THIS thread.
To fill the voidLast week Bungie posted an awesome infographic outlining the rather insane, yet completely believable statistics of Halo 2, 3, ODST and Reach. If you missed it, go ahead and click the image below to see the awesomeness.

The Guild:
Let's face it. You like Halo. We all like Halo here at Forge Hub. Who'd have thought it? Anyway, the guilds here on our forums are home to many members who wish to actively contribute to the community as a whole. Interested? Thought so. You should be.
There are currently two subsections within the guild as a whole: The Tester's Guild and the Custom's Lobby. The Tester's Guild sets out to take your beta-phased maps and play them repeatedly looking for both excellence and eye-sores. If you've submitted your map here already, or are interested, don't take bad criticism personally. Take them in stride, and consider the feedback into your overall design. The Custom's Lobby is associated with our bi-weekly front page TGIF articles. If you enjoy playing Halo with a group of friends and are an aspiring writer, you should look into this side of the guild, you'll probably enjoy it.
But wait! There's more! Working within the guild gives you a chance to make your way into one of our coveted blue ranks! Read over the requirements for your blue here and here.

QOTSUhttp://www.forgehub.com/forum/members/zaharias.htmlLast week I inquired as to what your favorite outdoor activities are, of course there were trolls, but there were some humorous answers as well! Here is one highlight from Zaharias.
Outdoor Xboxing. It's the best.
http://www.forgehub.com/forum/members/aceofspades.htmlOn a more serious note, our beloved Ace replied to the QOTSU with this response:
I absolutely love to play soccer and basketball, not to mention serenading Noxy on the side of a lake.
I particularly enjoy this because I was mentioned in it. I love being acknowledged. <3 This time around I ask: If you could create a weapon to implement into Halo 4, what would it be? What would its strengths be? It's weaknesses?
If you have any thoughts on this article, or the front page in general, that you would like to share with us then we invite you to post your opinions in the Front Page Feedback thread.
