Vultures. Pure and simple. Ego opportunists... and it makes me ill. For anyone to align themselves with those actions and claim that those tactics were valid and laudable... you have just stepped into a pile of "credibility crap". And the smell never goes away.


I hate to bring this up but that's how I felt with the people with their twisted "campaign" to get Toast banned. Nothing firsthand everything relying on faulty secondary info.

And on topic I don't think that Bungie Employees need to interact with the community just because they've done in the past. Of course It's nice to see that interaction, but I don't think that it's necessary.

I'm sure Achronos has many tools at his disposal. I think this is a great "What not to do on Bungie.net" thread.

Maybe some multiple-accounters who enjoy their 'normal' account will think twice?

Sketto; I think we've seen plenty of Bungie employee interaction. What do you call this pile of gold I'm excavating at the moment? Back it up, Ash!

dude, is that a makeup kit?

Are you saying that the Overlord is a cosmetician?


Dude, we're talking about Achronos. Achronos.

Is it really all that surprising?

No, he just keeps in touch with his feminine side.

Yeah, he also spelled "colour" as the UK version. I believe Gendo had a nice guess on page 3 (or something).

Not sayin I was mister perfect, but I (for the most part) gave good advice, i think.

Please describe good for me. Is your good my good, or is your good bad in my opinion. What do you base your good off of? Is there some kind of tool used to rate something good or bad?

Oh wait, you said "I think", which means that's your opinion. Although, in other people's opinions: "Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Your opinion just sucks."

5-Be a Jumper. A lot. If you're a Jumper, you're "in."(thanks butane :P)

Where are you getting your facts from? I've done it all, but where am I? Although I'm not sure if I pleasured James' anoose enough to get achieve a number 4 status, lol.

5- If you have no idea what you're talking about, don't say anything. Do you even know what The Jumpers is founded on? It's like a TFM, but not as radical as those misbegotten, lol.

I'll give you a history lesson Kilroy, not that I care to, but because you're trying to tarnish something that I started building since the beginning.

The Beginning of the Bungie Jumpers
***Deep in a MSN conversation***

GJJ says:
yea my old chapters didn’t do too well

Josher says:
Well the Arbiters was a good chapter, but hardly anyone even goes to it

Nosferatu (Note: this was before he was a mod) says:
We should make a new group, just for people who can be intelligent and actually talk without getting flamed

GJJ says:
Yep
GJJ says:
Got any ideas for a name

Nosferatu says:
Black magic?

Josher says:
How bout The Bungie Jumpers. Like bungee, but with the i, get it, har har har, Bungie Jumpers

GJJ says:
I just created it.

Josher says:
Already?

GJJ says:
Yep, go ahead and join

So now you’re “trying” and I do mean “trying” because you doing such a good job of bashing older members who are, for the most part, all about having an opinion, sticking to your guns, and having “intelligent” discussion. So who are you to say that the Jumpers will make you a mod? Out of the 200 people in the chapter, and more than half of them are inactive, hardly any are moderators. The ones I can think of GJJ: Founder, Ash: Been with us pretty much since the day he joined bnet, Pezza: Was introduced through the TFM gang, Achilles: I believe he joined after becoming a mod, or right before he became one, but I wasn’t that active for a long enough time to care, dmbfan: isn’t a mod anymore, but he was actually denied in, and got in whenever we (the admins) we’re dumb enough to have open membership, Nos: co-founder, left in my opinion because he became a mod and got a big head, Yoozel: joined after he became a mod, but he doesn’t even say anything, but meh whatever, Trigger: I can’t remember when he joined, but all I know is that he hates disembodied soul impersonators (yes I am the embodiment of the disembodied) , lol “Don’t dick with me. I’ll dick you over!” And many more like TGP, but we could care less about another aussie, sorry Davie.

Not much has changed here, I can see though. I just started to visit this place again. I missed the carnage of Toast, well I saw the beginning, and other such for about a year, but I can say this as a member since 2003 (and this is my second account):

The moment you pricks stop worrying about other people and what they’re doing is the moment you actually start to enjoy being on this site.

98.3% of you come here to boost your self-esteems because you’re not cut out for the real-world, well I’m telling you, you’re not cut out for cyberspace either because it’s harder. If this is your problem, try to do something with your life, do something different that you’ve never tried. Pick up a guitar, any instrument. Put the controller down. Start playing cards with people from your school. Maybe you need to actually try talking.

It’s pretty sad when you spend your life on here, just criticizing other people’s actions. Nothing is going to changed on this website, it will always be the same and until you can get that through your oddly large dumb thickheaded shell of a skull, the better off you’ll be. I am the Emotional Support, I may not be Disembodied Soul, but “Stop asking questions. Run along. Life's wasted on the living, I always say”

And thanks for making me rant on and on about nonsense Kilroy, the Jumpers is a heaven compared to this hell-hole. Now I have to continue my reading on page 5, faar smoggin smog of a zaaboogaaba!

EDIT: After reading the whole thing

Excellent post Maraxus, it's just a few bad people (Jeff and Jay), that doesn't mean the whole group is "bad", lol. Who am I kidding, Jeff and Jay aren't even "bad", they're just not afraid to speak their minds unlike some people who'd rather blow whistles all day.

It seems to me that a lot* of people suffer from jealousy around here, which considering the people they're jealous of is just... disturbing.


*When I say a lot, I mean a lot of people. Those of you who are not a part of that group should know who you are, if not you may be one of them. Confusing? Shouldn't be.

Since Bungie Jumpers is a private group and they do not attack or harrass other groups, then they have a right to do what they want to do. Just because the mods are active in that group, does not mean that it is elitist. Everyone on Bungie can start their own private groups, control group membership, and there is nothing wrong with what they have done.

Some of the forums are in dissaray, i honestly think IP banning and even .net passport restrictions would make this forum A LOT less crap-ridden. But thats not the case, so you really just have to deal with all the stupidity and accept it.

You cant fix a forum that supports free will IMO. there will allways be differenecs in opinion and what not, therefore disputes will allways occur.

If anything, this thread should serve as a good refererance to the on-going efforts to make bungie.net more and more of a cool place to be.
.


Agreed and pretty much sumed up what I had to say on the matter. I will add that, in a place like Bungie.net one cannot find a state of perfection since 'what is perfection?'

Perfection could be posts every minute of everyday, no spam, no disputes, no threads getting out of hand etc..........but this will never be so. So one has to live with these things that go on in the forums and treat it as a normal on going thing and there will always be cases like this.

In terms of things going back to the days of high glory and everything before the new hotness, is in my mind a nice thing to think about, but again this site is moving forward and so one must change with the times.

I do not think there is a lack in the Community of Bungie.net, since of course one does not have all the time in the world to sit around all-day on an internet forum as well. The community of Bungie still thrives without sitting down and posting every minute of every hour of every day but Bungie.net will keep progressing and for the better I think and it's up to us to keep it that way.

And yet people still find the time to complain about the most inane nuances I've ever seen. And I do think there are people who sit here all day with nothing better to do. The term we call 'a life' is lacking in these poor souls. There are more important things in life than one's reputation on a -blam!- website.

People need to be of importance at some point of the earth. It just so happens to be the easiest to do so on a Video Game forum, though why this one I dunno. You can get lost in the shadows way too easily.

JTFC... I never knew so much drama existed on bungie.net.

I think some of the reasons for this whole thread can be explained very well by this article, an excellent read if you ever want to take the time.

It does seem weird that people who are usually kind and respectful in real life can turn into arrogant jerks just by logging onto the internet.

I guess its just the way we are though.
