Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

The "why" is pretty simple. People used to get lost because they couldn't be bothered to read the forum descriptions to find out which forum they were supposed to post in. Now it's been made easier, so that they don't even have to look at a description to see what it's about. I doubt we'll be getting the old names back; Achronos has said that this is an intention part of the site design.
It's a shame, really. "The Septagon" sounds so much cooler than "Bungie Community Forum". I still don't see why the couldn't have the headers say the real names, and then the smaller print under it say the description, and leave the descriptive name in the navigation areas. "Bungie Community -- A gathering place for Bungie community activity" sounds so redundant. Oh well. Like I said, we're probably not going to see those names again any time soon. Well, besides people talking about it. Personally, I don't think I'll ever be referring to this place as the Bungie Community forum.
