First of all, we all want to welcome you to the Forge Hub community. Forge Hub has been a forging haven since it first started back in 2007, and has kept growing and evolving ever since. Home to both new and experienced forgers alike, our main focus is to collectively improve our knowledge of map design and the forge, provide a huge database of community maps, and of course being a place where you can post your own creations, engage in some vibrant discussion and be part of a great community. Aside from the main map forums, we also have a lot of other areas to supply you with entertainment such as Graphics & Arts, Videos, Off-Topic, and Halo Discussion. Below is a quick guide to make yourself familiar with our great community, and how to use the forums to your advantage. Our Forums Official Hub Activity Halo Reach Halo 3 Community End of Part I

I'm assuming i can post here about how brilliant this thread is? Good. This thread is a brilliant idea, and I demands a sticky on this thread! Any new folks reading this I wish you a very happy welcome and hope you stay around this site for quite a while yet. Edit: This thread has been stuck-with a plasma grenade!
This is an excellent thread, saves me from typing out introductions like these. Thanks for the thread.
Thanks And thanks Ethrock, I saw your posts and they were great, and I decided I might as well make a universal thread that we can all refer people to to cut down the work for some hard-working members like you. Thanks again!
And thanks to you for the thanks and shout, yo. Lol. Funny part is I capitalized 'and' while using as the beginning of a sentence. Such horrible grammar. Anyway what will part three consist of, and is there a post size limit that has caused this to be broken into multiple parts. I also demand sticky for this topic. As non stickied topics are quite.. shallow and pedantic. (Not my actual views. some will get it, some won't). Lastly, in reference to hard working members, I'd say the Admin, Mods, and other 'big guys' are the true hard workers, though we do our part, the community requires them to function and be sustained. [more extensive thread praising. lol] [/extensive thread praising]. Good luck on a sticky mate.
Lol. Nice praising There wasn't a figure limit that confined the posts, I just wanted to make it organized and make it into three separate ones. I'm going to make an index on the first post when it is done so it can refer to the three different posts. I'm pretty sure that the character limit is 10,000 though. The third post will consist mostly of posting your map and how to leave feedback on other maps, and the second part of the second post will be the general rules and what counts as stuff that could get your an infraction. Thanks again though
Nice on getting this featured, I hope it helps/saves some poor soul that decides to post a pointless map thread about "how do i geomerge on Sandbox?" stuff.
Yoooo jut what to say what up to the site, my first time here hope that i can find someone new people to make some bomb maps with XBL GT x401x High Fx get at me if you want to forge up
Out of curiosity, who runs this place? Every time I see an Admin I think "Oh, they must be the one who pays for hosting/domain and wrote the website." Then I find out they're fifteen and think "What the hell. . ."
My personal guess: LionHeart wrote the site, and Shock owns the site? I know before all this TDF and The Yaviman had something to do with all that. Am I close?
The site is hosted by some hosting company or another. The site is owned by some irresponsible company who doesnt pay attention. The site was written by Lionheart, shock, and likely a few others. No member of this site actually owns the site. The admins here are simply responsible for caring for it.
Hello you guys im Mikkel (Micheal in english) and i'm kinda new here (that is to say i just created my profile) the reason why i wanted to join this great site is because of all the great things i have heard about you. and also because of the awesome maps (we play them even in Denmark XD) but anyway. i do know the bacis of Halo Reach forge, but i wanna get much better, and i hoped you would help me. can you post any videos or can you try to explain it to me. ?? any thing would be Awesome. but Thanks and i hope we will talk soon.
