Well, I've been thinking about how to stop this....and I haven't a clue. I was half way through a post to everyone about it, and then decided that it wouldn't do any good. Possibly us "Grizzled Ancients" hehe, I use that loosely, could make a chapter on the 7th Column where we could post for us and have it heavily monitored by all of us. Open to the Public, but monitored well, basically cutting the fat.
I was replying to Stosh today about what Azur said in the forums, and decided not to. Stosh is right, no matter how I feel about it, here's the story:
Azur made a post asking where all of us oldies were, saying that we could show the "newer members" what a real post was. Stosh took this as kind of malicious a statement, I think. I know it wasn't meant like that, so I stuck up for Azur. Well, Stosh is right, everyone would take that as a bash at being new and they would have flamed anything they saw.
Before the new site, we did have a tight community of posters and readers that all respected each other and could jab at each other when need be. But now I feel, and I'm sure some of you do, lost in the "crap" that is going on now. I had a voice and now I am drown out by the squaking flock. I'm not saying this is bad, I am very happy there is such a Bungie community! But, personally, I feel like I've had something taken away. The instant-message posting needs to stop. There needs to be respect. And I don't think it's going to happen anytime soon.
So, if you guys wanna start up a chapter to use as a forum, I would enjoy that a lot, or maybe I'll make it, message me and tell me if you'd want to do that.
