Halo 2 Goes Gold

When a game has gone "gold" (as this article insinuates), it means in gamerspeak that the game is completed and has been approved by the console manufacturer(s) (although in this case just Microsoft) for their system. At this point, the game can be sent to the duplicating facility to be mass-produced. After this is done (usually about a week), then the first printing is complete and the game is "ready to ship"
If you're not going to contribute something worthwhile, why even bother posting at all? Is it perhaps because trolls, in their very nature, don't have anything insightful to say? I've only had an account here for a couple of weeks, and after I actually started reading comments (I never used to, hence I had no need to get an account previously) the troll infestation here was so bad that I almost said "To hell with it" and gave up on this site.
The fact of the matter is that this place has to be regulated for quality of content. I am not of the opinion that even morons should have a voice. If you want to troll somewhere, there are several other places you can go. I just think it's amusing that you, as trolls, say nothing intelligent at all and then whine because your comments get deleted. They get deleted because they don't contribute to the database.
And whoever said that Freedom of Speech didn't cover privately held websites was right. If the trolls that post here don't like the fact that their lame -1 and 0 comments get deleted, perhaps they should make their own blog. They can call it deaddot or something stupid like that. The point is, you try running something as content-rich as this and then keeping a balance between the assinine and insightful -- it's not easy.
That having been said, I'm going to do myself a favor and think twice before reading comments from now on.

Another prime example of the internet not being for everyone.
