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

Yes, but we are currently undecided on a few things. We wanted to add a few new features to them instead of just porting them over (well, what's worth it to port, most people don't use a lot of the resource types). However, due to the way a bunch of things are shaping up, we probably don't have time to do that soon. So, it is looking like we will do a simple porting of the groups as is, and come back and add the cool features we want when we can. We don't want to keep them off for so long just because of some timing issues. Scheduling things around here can be entertaining sometimes.

But they will come back, in one form or another.

Do we get anything whatsoever to make the downtime we've already experienced seem a bit more worthwile or will we be getting another Soon with a cute little T and M beside it?


Why don't you stop acting like a spoiled 6 year old stomping your feet because things aren't happening according to your special time-frame.
This is a fan site. Last I checked there are no monthly membership dues. Bungie doesn't make money from your presence here and therefore, a group is not owed to you for your forum participation. The groups are a currently suspended because Bungie is trying to improve them...in case you're wondering that means 'make them betta".
Let's review.

1) You do not pay to be there and, therefore, are in no position to make demands.
2) Bungie is not required to divulge information to us.
3) The groups are being improved, why rush it?

And to think I actually thought you were a bright guy. Take a moment, remove Achronos's tender parts from your mouth, and read what I asked again. Do you see one spot where I made a demand or pitched a fit? No, you don't. My curiosity as to whether or not we'll get something from the group downtime is fairly valid and all I did was ask. If he wanted to give a little tidbit or do as he has done and remain silent, that's fine. However, having some dip-blam!- accuse me of a tantrum isn't.

Perhaps you think the new update is great. Perhaps you have full confidence that any and all changes that they choose to make will be for the better. I, for one, do not like the new forum update and as a result, I'm fairly worried about what will come of the groups, especially considering their spot on the totem pole as far as importance goes. I would say it's safe to assume that atleast something has been done to groups in the downtime and I'm curious to know if we'll see any of that. The groups on this site are important to me. They're the reason I'm still here for the most part and I'm not the only person on the site that feels that way, so it's only natural that we are a little impatient.

If you think I crossed some line by asking a question of a person with gold text, then you're a special type of moron.

....but I clearly had the appearance of a 7 year old stomping his feet, rather than a six year old.

At any rate, aye aye capn.

I would go with the rifle like SS_Zag1 said, I would find it extremely hilarious to see how this would play out. Fanboy vs. fanboy, but one has a gun...I'm guessing things wouldn't go well for Hi 171, seeing as he has no intention of harming anyone, while BobBQ would most definatly take anyone out. Purely speculation of course...

I wouldn't object to a complete reset. Most of the bigger groups weere so well established that you couldn't promoted after a crertain point unless, off course you happen to be a personal friend of the admins.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Simply be patient. I can't wait for the re-opening myself. I am a lover of Chapters. I would rather wait 2 months for an incredible chapter feature than 2 weeks for an unorganized, confusing, and lacking feature.

Patience...a virtue given for a reason. Believe me. Bungie knows what they are doing and it will be great.

Why don't you ask the community to vote on things you are unsure on?

Good, seeing as he has killed endangered species, I now have international law on my side as well.

Edit: Back on topic: I would like to see groups make a return soon, even if they haven't changed much.

In other words, stop complaining and be patient. Seriously, if I were Achronos, i'd turn the groups off permanently just to piss you all off fro continuously nagging and complaining.

So would I, but I am glad that he is more patient than I am. I enjoy the private groups a lot, and I hope they return soon.

Thats why he has a website and you two don't.

I'm warming up to the new system as best I can, but its not quite complete without groups. I'm sure Achronos is doing a good job, but I also kind of side with Meech. It'd be nice to have an actual timetable or something.

At the minute I'm just basically hanging about waiting for my group to come back online. If it weren't for it, the weekly update and the stats page I wouldn't come to bunige.net. I gave up on the forums a long time ago.

The forums can only sustain us group goers for such a short time, I know a few friends of mine that I either lost all contact with or have stoped comeing to bungie because the groups were down. I myself have just been coming here to see if the groups are back on for a while and have resorted to making these alts for entertainment.

  • 04.06.2007 9:12 AM PDT

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

Why the fascination with weapons?
