Subject: Your guide to...The 7th Column

So you've been visiting bungie.net for a few days now. You've checked out all the content, posted in all the forums, probably been flamed a few times for posting something that has been posted a lot. But what now? What else can bungie.net possibly offer you in the months leading up to Halo 2?
Apart from new information, you may not think that it can offer much. However, buried deep within the Bungie server farm lies something wonderful, something unique, something that will aid World Domination. That thing is The 7th Column.
The 7th Column is a collection of fanclubs, called chapters. Chapters are owned by individual members of the community, and offer news, databases, a forum - it's a mini-website, only much cooler. A chapter can be about anything - there's one for Xbox Live players, one for Halo PC owners, and even one for people new to the site. A few Bungie staff members even have chapters, so you can try bugging them for the latest information there.
However, The 7th Column doesn't currently allow the creation of new chapters. This is because it has yet to experience the new hotness, and thus is currently running on a dying server. You can still join chapters, though, by exploring The 7th Column (the search tool is very useful) or The Classifieds. You can also look in signatures, as some people will advertise their chapters there, or in the Chapters section of someone's profile - this lists every chapter they are a member of, and marks which ones they have founded. If you're a good user then you could even become a staff member, with almost all the powers of a chapter founder.
So there you have it - The 7th Column is yet another aspect that makes bungie.net so brilliant. If you'd like to pay a visit, and, let's face it, who wouldn't, then that's too bad - the Column is currently down for some essential maintenance work. When it's back, however, it'll be bigger, badder and better, and this guide will be updated accordingly.

We should spread the word somehow/
We can't do it ourselves, that would be spam. But if Bungie could send a PM to all the members....... dunno, just a thought.

How about one of us with a lot of time just does a little right up about the 7th Column, and submits it for approval on the main page. this would best be done by a mod, or a person selected by the mods.

Can't agree with you more.

Maybe after the new hotness.

Yeah, maybe goweb's right. The server is bad right now, and more activity won't do any good.

  • 07.02.2004 4:11 PM PDT

I'm thinking more of it allowing me to write about the new creation procedure.

Well, that's two good things. Less loading time and more interesting story with more activity.

I think Bungie need to advertise just how great their community support is by using previews in game articles and advertise everywhere putting a small paragraph in a game manual that few will see doesn't count.

  • 07.03.2004 6:27 PM PDT

There's going to be more about b.net in the manual, if only to promote CENSORED.

Hmm nice one Goweb. Yeah it took me a while of hardcore Halo playing and loving to look online and I was like holy crap this is awesome if only I would have known about all this I could have devoted even more of my life to Bungie's quest for world domination.

I was scared of the Column when I first came in, thought it'd be a select group of nerds and hackers *looks around the room*. It's a good way to introduce new people. And there's plenty of people out there not in the Column.

couldnt agree more


but i have one question can you take an old chapter such as elite sniper division ( i joined it not knowing much about it) and it turns out that the founfer hasnt been on since june the one staff meber and one other person hasnt been on since july so can i like take it over and do stuff like add more choices for things to put in the databases(e.x. putting in a video game review for it) stuff like that is there a way to take over the site when noone else from the chapter has been there for like three months

p.s. if elitehalosniper or supersoilder666 sees this go back to your old chapter and do somthing
