Subject: What groups are you part of, and why?

Simple: What groups are you in, and tell us why you are. If you're in too many groups, just list the ones you care about.

Asylum - Not quite sure, really

For Carnage Apply Within - I still love and enjoy oldschool Bungie games, and find it a good way to organize games.

Inside the Machine - I'm a programmer, so naturally, I'd be in a forum all about programming.

New Flood - It's like The Flood, but less crap-tastic. Still quite a bit of spam, but it's generally OK.

OMG - Don't remember.

Serious Big Team Battle - <3 H2/H3 Big Team Battle; it's pretty much the only playlist I play. It's a good way to organize BTB games.

The Black Chapter - Not telling >_>

The Bungie Community - Yay for the community.

WE HATE THE INTERNET - I have a love/hate relationship with the Internet here.

Wheelmen - I'm the vehicle guy when it comes to Halo. It's a group just for us Hog drivers/gunner =]

--

So, what about you? I'm curious.

EDIT: And just for the hell of it, what forums do you visit the most? Me: The Flood (starting to stay away from there now), The Maw, The Septagon, in that order.

I'd list my groups but would this thread be considered one big against-the-rules ad?

Not really. I'm not advertising anything, I'm not offering anything, and I'm not asking people to join.

Does this break the rule about no group advertsing ?

City Of The Hierarch
Founded by: Monkeyman4000
The most innovative and friendly group on b.net.

CompoundIntelligence
Founded by: x Foman123 x
For discussing theories and stuff like that, it's also a good place to go if you like winding up self-rightous elitists.

Halo Wars RTS
Founded by: WyattFNEarp
Halo 3 is just the beginning. Halo Wars is the next in a long line of games to come. Plus it is RTS, sweet !!

The Guide
Founded by: snowmanaxt
It's good if you want to know more about the history and backround members of bungie, those guys who do all the work for us.

WE HATE THE INTERNET
Founded by: evilcam
Self-contradictory. Basicly exists to pleasure evilcam, which is the calling in life for many young men. It's just funny.

Destinypedia - The Wiki for Bungie's Destiny
Posted by: DEATHPIMP72
Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

BUNGIE TV NETWORK
Founded by: PKF_647
I joined because PKF asked me to and I like him :-)

Bungiepedia
Founded by: Gzalzi
A dead group, but I run Bungiepedia so I figured I should probably join the group.

City of the Hierarch
Founded by: Monkeyman4000
Joined up because Monkeyman had a very interesting idea for the structure of the group's governance and it seemed cool.

Community Projects
Founded by: prometheus25
Prommy started this group as a springboard for community projects, which sounded pretty good to me.

CompoundIntelligence
Founded by: x Foman123 x
Joined because I founded the group, and plus it's cool to be the founder of the biggest group on BNet.

Grunts for Every Season
Founded by: Red Drunkard
Joined because Red Drunkard's short stories are the funniest Halo fanfiction that I have ever seen.

MBT
Founded by: Guardian Hunter
Originally joined because I was interviewing Guardian Hunter for The Guide. Stayed because GH is a good guy with great ideas and knows a ton about chapters and group structure.

Pimps at Sea RPG
Founded by: prometheus25
Yarr!

Server Closet
Founded by: Yoozel
Joined because I enjoy drinking as much as Yoozel, although my tolerance is pathetic by comparison.

7th Column League
Founded by: Duardo
Joined up because I liked the idea of the 7th Column League. Then I immediately got busy at work and then went to Hong Kong for a month and never got a chance to play a single match. Shame the league never really took off.

The Black Chapter
Founded by: un gato
Filled with just as many truly intelligent and thoughtful people as it has pseudo-intellectuals, this is a fun place to go to antagonize people... until you get slapped down by someone who really knows what they're talking about on whatever subject you happen to be arguing.

The Brute Ghostbusters
Founded by: lukems
Joined up during Iris when AdjutantReflex joined the group. I stayed for the bbq pork.

The Bungie Community
Founded by: CrypticGuardian
Joined because I like the idea and because CG invited me over MSN one night right after he started it.

The Guide
Founded by: snowmanaxt
I help GP to take care of the place. And recently, I do a terrible job at it. Sorry for the lack of new content!

The Marty Army
Founded by: yeroen
Because Marty is pretty awesome.

The Watchers
Founded by: Eagle 117
Joined up because, as a collective group, nobody knows more about the Halo storyline and theories than these guys. They have so many answers that you'd think that one of 'em stole the Halo Bible (I'm looking your way, opog).....

Woodshop 117
Founded by: WFGeppetto
Small group of awesome folks who became somewhat close during Iris. A great place to go just to shoot the breeze with guys who are wicked smart and a tad more mature than the H3 Forum.

I'm only in three groups at the moment. I never get to play as much as I'd like to due to family commitments etc so I used to keep away from the more competitive groups.

Server Closet. - A mate was in them and reccommended them. Not there too often but good for a laugh.

UK Gamers. - Brit gamers. Joined, loved it, now admin.

UK Gamers GOMD. - The Grumpy Old Man Division of UKG. A few of us older types get together for beer and Halo nights.

The proper links are in the Groups button if more info is needed.

A few but mostly The Black Chapter. Mainly because I like to oppress my will on others.

OMG

we cater for the UK and Euro gamer more interested in fun than anything else.

We run a customs night every monday from 9pm onwards and are staffed by a great bunch of friendly gamers. We recently held our own 16 player Lan fest, playing on Live feels all wrong now....

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I do not feel like linking any of them so you people will have to go into my groups to find the links.

Bungie Jumpers - Because I have a thing for Jim.

The Black Chapter - Because it is a good place to go to talk about things that are not allowed on the forums. Within reason of course.

Septagon TV - Because one day I will eventually get to help JAF out and make his show 1,000 times better just because my awesomeness is on screen. :)

MOAP - Because everybody is doing it.

HFCS - Well if you have to ask then you just need to be shot in the face with a potato gun.

-blam!-BAR - Because we've got something to put in you!

Seeing this thread made me obliterate most of the groups I was in. I do not post that much in many of them because of chat rooms or off site forum boards that we use for more freedom.

Oh and can you guess what my favorite one is?

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

I'm part of 8 total. I have listed them by degree of sexiness.

We All Rolled Spartans - This group is my attempt to build a B.net MMORPG hub and eventually a Warhammer: AoR guild. As of yet, progress has been slow.

The Trolls - Quite simply the best group of people I've found on B.net.

The Black Chapter - The best place to argue about stuff you can't talk about in The Flood.

Underground Pleasure - I got bored one day and found this group. It turned out to have a nice core of people in it, so I stuck around.

Asylum - This group is home to the closest I've ever come to roleplaying. You can say what you're really thinking and people just think you're playing along with the theme of the group.

New Flood - The Flood without much use for rules. It's disturbing.

Body Politic - The Black Chapter without the religion. Not sure why I joined since I never go there.

Membership Denied - Once an extremely exclusive group filled with some of the most active and awesome users on B.net. It is now a festering pile of inactivity.

Chapter Founders
Founded by: yeroen
A group for members who have started their own groups/chapters. I figured why not? I've yet to post here.

Group Theme Test
Founded by: Me, SK CRISIS
Pretty self explanatory, made an empty group just to use as a canvas for making group themes.
Fun Fact: The night before the January Forum update, I worked for hours making my first theme to be submitted to Stosh. Early next morning I submitted it, and when the forum update was complete that day, to my surprise and frustration the group theme you see now being used by 'Group Theme Test' was strikingly similar to the one I had just made the night before. I felt like I wasted hours working on an idea that has already been done, but you know what they say, 'shtuff happens.'

Project One Six
Founded by: Me, SK CRISIS
A group I founded when I came up with the idea of 16 players working together to make something awesome, whether it be an epic screenshot, or a physics experiment, testing a fellow member's forge map, etc. Lots of stuff that can only be achieved with lots of players cooperating. Anyway the group is tiny and it's pretty dead right now, despite me making stickies where group discussion is called upon.

Theme Makers Guild
Founded by: spareanygp
A new group founded by spareanygp in the hopes of having a better alternative to show themes to members and receive feedback instead of using stosh's Themes. It's barely a day old so of course not much is happening at the moment. I plan to post regularly in there.

Theme Masters
Founded by: Sir Fragula
A group for Theme Masters and want-to-be theme masters to discuss theme making and the like. It's been dead for a while, which is why I joined the new Theme Makers Guild group. I've yet to post here either.
