While i do partially agree with you; i'd love to see the days of Marty The Elder as a regular forum personality return, but, due to the nature of the beast, its probably not going to happen. The fact is this community devours every thing said by anyone in a position of authority and tears their words to bits, letter by letter. Due to the fact all bungie employees are signitories of NDAs, there's just too much risk of something letting slip in general conversation, the general employees just can't do it. Then you have to remember that a big chunk of bungie's employees are on temp contracts, so simply do not have time to converse and get to know the community.

Aside from that, why would they want to? The majority of the community is a hive of scum and villainy. In LOTRO the devs/GMs have to converse with the general playerbase, as the game is an MMO, and player input is absolutely essential for balance issues. Halo, as an FPS, is nearly static and requires no such input. We do however, see some valiant efforts from the community team, and they should be commended for the amount of needless crap they've put up with in this halo 3/crackdown saga.

First off....LOVE ME SOME HALO 3.... now that the obvious has been stated.....

I was wondering if Bungie has considered maybe making a Master Thread where Bungie devs/community personal have replied to. Off that "Master Thread" it would then link to the response to the corresponding forum post/reply. With the community being as big as it is here, it could not only be interesting for those who just what to read what the Bungieites say, but maybe reduce the constant spam or rethreading.

An example is LOTRO. One of things I like about the community that they have done is started a "dev tracker". I included a link to show what I mean...
http://forums.lotro.com/ <----dev tracker it located on the left hand side.
http://forums.lotro.com/turbine_tracker.php?tracker=dev

I tend to read the sticky's but sometimes its cool to see what Bungie says without having to scroll through ALL the BS or legit points to see how Bungie responds....I think that this could only make Bungie that much more in touch with its fans...

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

It's easy enough to see what Bungie staff is saying. Just click an individual's "More Posts By This User" button. For example, let's stalk Achronos for a little while by reading everything that he has ever written: Click Here

Nah, cause then people would jsut spam the forums with stupid threads about what love is or whatever. It's basically turn into another Flood forum. The closest thing that Bungie.net has to what you're talking about is the Septagon (Bungie Community) forum.

Maw

Why don't we just pick the biggest azhole on B.net, give him a custom avitar, make all the threads he posts in have the golden Septigon symbol, change his name to Achronos and teach him to respond to "Tom". Nobody could tell the difference.
