And remember there is now a dedicated board for this, I think we will be adding a third forum for all chapters interested to fill, as I don't think my chapter will be able to hold them all after a while. Or maybe it will, I dunno.

Anyway here is the board:

I agree with newnab. I can barely keep active on the forums and such that I am dedicated to now. Sounds like a good idea though.

Here is all the topic chapters I can think of: Psychology, Philosophy, Theory, Strategy/Tactics, Ranks, Clans, Halo for XBox, Halo PC, ..., Fanfiction/Art.


Hmmm... I like the idea of TOPIC SPECIFIC chapters. Although it may be too late to start, I can see how the chapter I helped found (with my bro.) would perfectly fit into a tactics/humour/FanArt section.... For example: the Founder, SuperFlious, is keen on Tactics and Gametypes for training, while I add the humour and art. We each have our separate interests, and sort of play off of each other's posts and databases. We're still small--the only members are neighbourhood friends that we play against--but I think it's OUR interests that have kept us going.

I'd really enjoy managing/participating in a club based around art... show off my work, let others do the same... But, HOW COULD I FIND ONE? Perhaps, (and this is my ONE suggestion so far) chapters could be asked to pick a theme/topic from a specific list of topics. As of right now, you can only search for chapters based on: "chapter titles, descriptions, and mottos" or location. A search function based upon INTERESTS/FOCUSES/etc. directly from Seventh Column would be so great!

Yes, but there has to be an other button, my chapter is about Blowing up Warthogs, don't think they'll have that on the list.

It's cool Joining the other forum is completely VOLUNTARY, If you don't have the time or resources it's null sweat. It's just an extra area we can brainstorm. I think it's great we even have this area, the other forum is simply for discussing the things we cannot, or should not discuss here. It's also useful for keeping some of the superfluous posts out of the Septagon, as this thread was intended for broad ideas and to let people comment on pros and cons of those broad ideas. The 7C forum is simply an extra option to go in depth with them. I in no way intended to make anyone feel obligated, I just want them to know that the option is there if it piques their curiosity.

I think we are woking on a way to help advertise the chapters to all potential members, through the classifieds, and what I will call Hub Chapters for lack of a better term.

Each chapter will choose 2 categories that it would fall into, and then be rated by 3 other chapters in those categories, on a scale of 1-7.

Here are the proposed categories:

Theory/Philosophy
Fiction
Guides
Gameplay
Clans (It will be a big part of Bungies future)
Help (Tech Support like XBC or html questions)
Help (Chapter Support)
NewsCenter (Specializing in News and interviews)
Audio/Video (Songs and Movies)
Art (except Movies)
Time Wasters
Jack of all Trades
Hub (If you want to specialize in helping new members find chapters that suit them)

This is obviously an idea in testing, and as such I would like to show you how this would work. This information would be kept in your chapters Articles Section for people to peruse and see if it's what they are interested in.

My Chapter : "Example"
I think that : "Fiction" ; " Time Wasters" --Would apply

Other Chapter 1 : Fiction 5 Time Waster 4
Other Chapter 2 : Fiction 7 Time Waster 3
Other Chapter 3 : Fiction 4 Time Waster 4

You would then add thses up and divide by three to get your average.
(Round up if .5 or higher)

Example Chapter would have Fiction 5 Time Waster 4.

The ratings go from 1 (marginal) through 4 (average) to 7 (exceptional)
Tell me what you think!!!

Well I'm not quite sure what Bungie has planned in the new Hotness but I know if we perhaps promoted chapters as a place for clans instead of community (because they may just see it as another place like this) then a lot more would jump at the chance. It's free hosting, and maybe a more customizable chapter in the near future. Only time will tell. That and bribing the webmaster.

Probably a month or two, be patient. But please check the rest of the posts for more information, this one is for the Revitalization Project.

We'll start a thread in The Classifieds, Where we will list a link to the Chapter, and the Topics we chose for it, and let people rate them there... That way people will start to see what some of the Chapters can offer!

Well If we place a mass post, maybe a few people will see it before the....

You're right, it'd be off before an hour went past with the clan hopefuls that inundate that forum with useless drivel...

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

I don't if posting in the classifieds has helped any non clan chapters... everyone there is looking for a clan.

Well I was going to ask if one of the mods would do us the favor of making a locked and stickeyed thread in the Classifieds, that would ensure no spamming, and a check to make sure the Chapter was appropriate altogether (No spam chapters, that do nothing productive)
Then we won't have to worry about the individual chapters getting lost, and the locked, stickyed thread would have the Chapter Name, a short paragraph from the founder, and the topics the founder chose, and the average scores for those topics.

I don't know if a mod would do it or not, but considering that was the original intention of the classifieds to begin with, they just might. We'd have to see if one responds here.

I don't want to ask them to abuse their power, you understand. Just help out the Column.

I wasn't talking about each individual Chapter getting a thread, I was talking about ONE thread for the entire Column to use. Each Chapter would get one post, and they would share the same stickyed locked thread.

It would be every Chapter in the Column, I don't want to leave anyone out, the Revitalization isn't supposed to be an elite gathering of chapters, just a place for all the chapters to work out problems. Every Chapter is "in" regardless of position. But the listing is voluntary.

The elite gatherings of chapters isn't what we want. We'd need a few HEAVILY TRUSTED people who would check up andhave the authority to make sure it doesn't become a "My chapter's better than yours." thing, and they would stop it. These people are preferably going to be voted on by ALL, so everyone gets a voice. Anyone can run, but spammers might not be allowed to run, because spammers with power is not a good thing. But then this would be a 7CC sort of thing. Not what we want. Maybe if this goes through, the revitalization and the 7CC could work together, the Council giving problems to the people and the people voting on what they think is the solution. Like a mini-democracy between the poeple of Bungie.

Exactly. And I do like the idea of working hand in hand with the Council. The Council would be the actual authority, as this is just a project to boost things.

And Halodude, everyone KNOWS my Chapters the best ;) --Just Kiddin' Y'all...

Wow. Someone actually agrees with me. That's a first. The Council and Revitalization idea actually came from the fact that these projects are so similar.
