I was just curious about when groups come back, if we have to start them all over again. Like the members and forums.

Dunno. They did tell us to back up any data we had.

But Achronos also said groups were "hiding." Which means they may be here in their entirety, but we can't see them.

Groups are not here. As we speak Bungie is trying to peice together a million minimal different html linked pages to this one. Now to put that in simple terms, the million + groups that dorks created have to be sorted through, recreated, and made compatible with the new html layout of "the new hawtness". So the groups will be gone for a LONG time. They will one day return, but the bungie employee's have a lot better things to do, than to try and go cleaning out and repairing the worlds biggest trash pile known as the groups of bungie.:-)

As for the fact of members, if they -Bungie- recreate the groups the way I am thinking they will. Members will be fine and dandy. Some of the smaller groups may have difficulty, or may just be deleted for lack of space, I really don't know.
But with any luck, within a few weeks you all will have your precious groups back up, and you can once again enjoy being your own boss and black-listing the people you don't like. Until then, you will just have to enjoy the orginal bungieness that we all at one time came for....

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

According to Achronos, the group information is safe. Articles are the most likely aspect of groups to experience problems. Hopefully, your groups backed up their most important threads.

I'm quite sure that he was joking when he wrote that the groups "are hiding". Otherwise he wouldn't have explicitly said that Bungie is still working on them.

They'll have the same members unless (I'm guessing here):

* They don't log in for the amount of time it takes for their account to be auto-deleted.
* Your group gets auto-deleted because it had <3 members.

Uh, I hope. My group was really active.

No signature found. Click here to change this.

I'd like to think they'd be the same as before. All except the backgrounds and layouts, perhaps. I'd like to see some changes with group settings.

Man, I hated old yellower the first time, but reborn as a sick bungie creature and retortured? EWWWW. Dude you find the mechanical dogs irritating? lol oh wait, you're refering to the new hotness which people like to spell wrong as 'hawtness'. Riiiiiiiight, yeah I agree. Bungie kind of murdered my orginal love for the uber cool bunginess. Hmmm, maybe when groups come back we should start a lonely hearts club for fellow bungians who miss their first love? I think we should call it BFL. Bungies First Love....whatta think? Rolls off the tongue rather well right?;-)

Well, as my alliance (clan) in an online clan was using a bungie group, as many of us met on h2 or here on bungie, as it's main forum it would be nice to have it back soon.

So, I hope it's soon.

We all wish that the groups would come back soon. But like I said in my first post, the bungie guys are working their tails off as it is. Hopefully within a few weeks everything will be nice and sweet and easy........again.
