I think that the new site is awesome, and is good for promotion issues. However, for all you hardcore Bnet users out there, I think the old site was better. It had that addictive/cool social feeling that this site lacks. Your thoughts in contrast of the two...

Agreed

Right now, it feels like they both balance each other out, IMO. They both have their ups and downs...

Whew, I was very scared there for a second... I thought all the groups were wiped clean. Cant wait to get back to my home group as soon as the feature is activated. i.e. I miss the old site. Ha ha ha.

I agree with post of those posts. So far however I am loving this new look and feel.

It'll take some getting used to, but the new version is better, IMO. The profile things really won me over.

Yeah I know... groups are basicly my second life. For future reference, go to the navbar at the top, then go to community, then click on The 7th Column for groups. =]

Who here wants to be a mod? I'll trade you my powers for your white text! ORANGE? Why, tom? WHY?

I think I prefer the old site overall (but all "vet"s say they prefer the pre-newhotness site too). Especially the old forums although I'm loving the new site "tools" and customisation.

The width of the avatar "box" is probably my least liked feature. It's just too freakin' wide! I'm used to reading from "left to right", not "middle to extreme right" but perhaps that's nitpicking a bit too much?

Edit: Don't get me wrong, this new site is cool and definately worth the effort put in by the webteam but I think it's going to take a lot of getting used to on my part (mainly the width of the avatar box more than anything).

No, seriously I can't vote on the new site until the groups are back because I currently prefer the old site due to the group feature... Anyways I can't wait until they're back up.

I love the new site. Navigation is a lot smoother, all that needs to be fixed is that user names and ranks need to be placed below the avatar, not on the right. Overall it's a much cleaner format.

I miss my shiny too.

This site will take a little getting used to, I miss the feel of the old site, it was much warmer and inviting. Don't get me wrong, this site is lovely too, but I do miss the simplicity of the old site and how everything wasn't so spaced out.

I think that the old site was better laid out for searching for stuff, to find a clan I had to remember a member's gamertag and go through that to get to the clan. Clan search is gone, I also think you should be able to view clan members in the clan listings as that would help clans when they meet on bungie.net...

When you click on someone's name, just click on their name in the Halo 2 section of their profile. The clan is in there.

The new site definitely looks better, it has an elegant design and the perfect combination of colours. I liked it so much that I made it my start-page, it is so well designed. Thumbs up for the web-designers an awesome work indeed.

EDIT: I love how now I can look at my all-time statistics. I cannot believe how many people I've killed.

Personally, i prefer the old one. This one...i dunno confirms Bungie is now a part of Microsoft. This is trying to be sleek but it's not working for me. I just hope they get the groups right, which is why im still keeping hope for this design.

A lot easier and pleasant to get around the old site, but I like the new moderator powers we've gotten.

It took hell to get in this place! Anyways, the new forum is pretty awsome. I like alot of the profile features, although the GT linking is too permanent for my liking. I have two accounts and I have the wrong .net passport linked to this account here on b.net. I wish it were easier to re-link than to make a new account. If any of the site admin's could help me out with that, i would be most gratified.

It'll take some getting used to, but the site itself is goooood, baby.
I don't like the new sigs, the new forum names, or the nav bar.
And I still want a 'jump to top' button, even more so now that the nav bar is up top.

I LOVE the new site. The last one had that thingy at the bottom, and it used to really slow down my pc! Now, its so much smoother and professional-looking. And practically everything's 1 click away, which, needless to say, is pretty awesome.

I don't like the horrible orange vomit coloured mod text either, its kinda ugly looking.

On topic its early days yet there are still some glitches to be worked out and its probably easier to manage if you've never been on B.net before. It will take a while to get used to and then we can decide.

I agree that the old white text was a bit more badass than orange. But note that we don't have white text either - it is grayish. If mods had the brilliant white text back it would still stand out against the regular gray.

Then again, orange is slightly closer to Bungie staff's gold text, which gives an overall sense of unity to the moderating/online team.

I dunno... the orange is not that offensive to me, but I wouldn't mind seeing moderator text in white again either. I'm kind of indifferent.
