I'm "D king"

I would never eat a pet, as in an animal.
Now, if it was a pet cake or pie, then Hell YEAH! I'd eat that -blam!- man!

I understand how private groups may look on the outside. However, it's often the case that "outsiders" aren't the reason for closed membership. It's the nature of the people on the inside that require more privacy.

I'm antisocial so I like talking with my friends about things I know we have in common. It's a lot more "comfy" talking to people who know you inside-out and vice versa. That's what a group should be about, talking with your friends and having a good time. Winding eachother up etc.

You tend to get a lot more trouble and drama in open groups, and I'm not really a fan for it. A lot of strangers won't "get" you. A lot of people have conflicting personalities etc. That's often a good thing to continue a discussion, but if you can find a balance between conflicting opinion and and trust/friendship, then you have a good group (and I wouldn't mess that up by opening it).


oh, so thats why you turned down my group invite.

No u will stay closed for the good of all Bungie kind.


If that was the case, Bungie wouldn't let us open our groups.

I prefer approval-based memberships. The members seem to have more of a cohesiveness to them for some reason, IMO. Two of the best groups I've ever been in have been, for the most part, completely off-topic groups. Its even better when groups have a poll for approval of new members. Then, everyone knows when there is somebody new and can welcome them. One group I'm in requires you to pass a test of three unrelated questions. I wouldn't consider it elitist. The grading of your answers doesn't rely so much on accuracy but rather your creativity. A few of you may know what group I'm talking about...

Also, closed membership is good for talking about people behind their back....like what Stosh said HFCS is used for.
