[[File:Bulletin board compare.jpg|right|thumb|333px|The Bulletin Board on the ''Autumn's'' bridge in both [[Halo Combat Evolved]] and [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]].]]


On the [[The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|first]] level of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', a '''bulletin board''' can be found in three locations on the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. One adjacent to the [[bridge]]'s entrance, once more in the [[mess hall]], and the last behind a pillar in one of the ship's corridors.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref> There are two unique versions of the bulletin board featured within ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and in its 2011 ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]]'' edition.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/halo-combat-evolved-anniversary-review/ '''Gamesradar.com:''' ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary review'']</ref>
On the first and last of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' levels, a '''bulletin board''' can be found just outside the bridge of the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'''</ref> There are two versions of it featured within the Halo: Combat Evolved and in [[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary|Anniversary]].<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/halo-combat-evolved-anniversary-review/ '''Gamesradar.com:''' ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary review'']</ref>

Some of the [[list of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] messages on the bulletin boards look plausible, some are just silly, and still others are hidden [[Easter Eggs]].


There are actually more bulletin boards on the ''Pillar of Autumn'', one being found on the mission, ''[[The Maw]]'', where there is a shattered board right through the cafeteria alongside two [[health pack|medical packs]] and an empty [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|shotgun]], but the first is the only one with legible messages.

One post on the board says: "Missing: Calico Cat: Answers to [[Jonesy]]" This is a reference to ''Alien'' and ''Aliens'', two movies that ''[[Halo universe|Halo]]'' draws inspiration from, to include the banter of a [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] soldier. Jones, sometimes called Jonesy, was a Calico cat in the series and was a survivor of the first movie, along with Ripley.

There is a picture of [[Earth]] from the Moon with the caption "Fight for Her" on it. This is likely a [[propaganda]] piece that was disseminated by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]. It also shows Africa, which may be a reference or foreshadowing to where the Ark's portal is hidden.

Another reads: "Attention marines, callbacks for South Pacific" and the rest is cut off by a keyboardish item. It is likely that this is a reference to the musical, ''[[wikipedia:South Pacific (musical)|South Pacific]]''.

Appearing within the same location as ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the board features new messages, new Easter eggs, a technologically upgraded appearance, and new references to ''[[Halo]]'' media. The board features a bar with the options "File, Edit, Object, Window, Help."

One of the posts parallels the original version of the board's notice alerting that Jonesy is missing with a "cat found" poster referencing [http://www.cfzaustralia.com/2011/02/taxonomy-fails-infamous-cat-found.html an Internet meme] in which the "cat" in the notice's photo is clearly an [[Wikipedia:Opossum|opossum]]. The handwritten poster reads:
{{SectStub}}
 
== See Also ==
''Cat Found!!!<br/>
''Light tan w/ black and grey
*''Fe-male
*''No collar
*''Not very friendly, I think she might be scared
*''Not house broken either :(
*''Found on 75th
*''If she's yours, call Dan <u>714-</u>''[redacted]
 
Next to this post is a notice asking, "Have you seen my goose? He is missing. Reward offered." This is another reference to Jonesy. In the picture, the goose has laid a golden egg.
 
Another one of the posts displayed on the board includes a distinct reference to [[Requiem]], which was first seen within ''[[Halo 3]]'''s ending and later featured more heavily in ''[[Halo 4]]''. The poster advertises "Sneak Preview Night" to a new film called ''Dark Planetoid Rising'' - "[[Seven|7pm]] Friday, Aft Theater [No reserved seats]" - a reference to [http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9274467&postcount=33832 a 2008 NeoGAF meme]. The poster for the advertisement is a direct screenshot of the Legendary planet.
 
If one look even closer, an image of the [[Wikipedia: Internet Meme|Internet meme]] [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/trollface-coolface-problem Trollface] can be seen to the bottom-left.
 
A notice below that displays a promotion for a band called ''[[Fist of the Unicorn]]'':
<br/>''Special encore performance by ship's band<br/>
''Fist of the Unicorn<br/>''
''Featuring: [[Specialist|SPC]] Van Kalletta on lead guitarz<br/>
''(and replacement drummer [[Private First Class|PFC]] Dimitrov)<br/>
''Rockin' your [[Eridanus]] off<br/>
''Main Hangar<br/>
''Saturday 1600 hours''
 
The [[Defiant Map Pack]]'s promotional image can be seen within the top-right corner, declaring "Defy the Covenant", in parallel to the original propaganda poster.
 
Beneath that a small poster advertises:
<br/>''Work 4 Hire<br/>
''any job<br/>
''2 weeks<br/>
''[Is easy]<br/>
 
The final poster is an order to the crew.
<br/>''NOTICE<br/>
''To All Crew Members:<br/>
''>>All unit VTARS must be submitted for final approval by [[Seven|0700]] every Tuesday.<br/>
''Units in VTAR noncompliance will be subjected to additional review by <FRANCH INSPECTOR>.<br/>
''[[Major (UNSC)|Maj.]] [[Cammarano]] <<<br/>
''This notice will serve as your final reminder.<br/>
