Sigs just aren't what they used to be.

Their are quit a few groups that are meant to do the things you mentioned above though. So a forum like this isn't needed.

Discussion and debate are supposed to occur on most forums, but the random and off topic posts do dilute the amount of civilized discussion.

The fact that you do not realise you are already there is sad reminder of the current state of B.net's forums.

If you want to be a part of one of the greatest and most active communities in the seventh column, come here. You will thank me later.

Online forums are all about discussion and debate. Just make sure that you discuss and debate the right things, and avoid the sensitive matters. If you want to discuss religion, politics, or any other banned topics, then you can always find a chapter for that.

Read about the Forgotten Spartan I Program
Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
sir_brilliant: To extend out reach to the stars above!
SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

Forum-n-an assembly, meeting place, television program, etc., for the discussion of questions of public interest. LINK.

So yeah, that what these are for; discussion and debate. Also, politics and religion are too touchy to be included on a site that is supposed to be for a Video Game company.

As Rainman suggested, this is a video game website after all, so Achronos has made the decision that some topics are somewhat overly hot-button for the site's public forums. He has, however, allowed such discussion to occur in the site's private groups.

I suggest you join The Black Chapter, a group right here on Bungie.net that has about 350 members and the most activity out of any of the groups that discuss things like politics, religion, and other taboo topics. Feel free to join up -- you can always unjoin later if you dont like it -- and jump into the discussion. Just remember to bring your brain with you -- there's some smart folks in there!

You just asked for political/religious discussion forum without flaming or cussing.

Let me know when you find one. As Foman said, ^ The Black Chapter is the closest you'll find.

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it's greatest achievement
We're barely, we're just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves

Body Politic is another group for political discussions.

This site is flooded with kids. It would be incredibly difficult to enforce the rules in a discussion forum.

You can't blame him. The Flood pollutes its members with the idea that brevity and dispensible one-liners are quick fixes to popularity and attention.

All too common, it's been frequently turned into a chat room.
