Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I'd love to know your opinion on what a 'good' community is..
If you look at Epic Games, for example, they tell their fans how awesome they are, constantly, and they tell them what's good about their games. At least Bungie allows this community to think for itself. I rather enjoy the mixed opinions.
I might also add that people like MLG Cheehwawa, only in the form of someone who hates Gears of War, start posting the 'bad things' about Gears on the Epic Games forums, will get banned by the moderators on those forums. I've seen it plenty of times. Again, here we can at least express differing opinions and have great conversations in the end.
This also proves how large of a community Bungie has, that not everyone agrees with aspects of their games, whereas other developers with smaller fanbases have one big agree-fest on things and the discussions are much more limited.
That's just how I see it, at least.
I definately agree. Bungie.net is strongly Liberal. While they do keep things from getting out of hand, they welcome the exchange of ideas, concerns, and complaints. While I've never been there, the way you describe the Epic forums makes it seem like a Marxist community, determining what you say, when you say it, and balls-deep in self-infatuated propaganda <checkmate!
