The Underground is a mess, and I'm pretty sure it's because it's at the top of the list of links. People with their XBL issues (as most of the topics are about that) click on the top link after running to their computer in a rage, because of cheaters or haxorz or linking gamertags or n---s...

Anyway, I reckon we (and by we I mean you, bungie.net staff) should rearrange the links for the forums, so that Zanzibar is at the top, and... yeah. It would help.

I'm not demanding, I just think it's a fancy idea.

A very good plan that is.

I'm glad you agree.

Any ninjas/overlords think the same?

$10 says it may help, but you'll still get some.

Great idea. It might just work...

I don't think they will do that because of the order. First this site is Bungies site, so the first forum should be about Bungie. Next is that you are in the forums so, one about the forums. Next is halo 2, then whats in H2, Multi-player, whats with Multi-player - Xbox live! Then Halo CE and Halo CE for xbox, then a whole Lotta random stuff.

Perhaps the link order would change according to the most popular? (because we all know which ones are going to be top)

You're probably right about that, Great_Pretender. Having the most commonly used forum at the top would probably help (Zanzibar, no doubt). People probably click the forums or Community links at the bottom and choose The Underground simply because it's at the top, and is the first one they see.

I think it would help a load if we kept the current forum order, but bumped The Underground down next to the Maw and the Library. I'd say 80 - 90% of the threads in the underground would / should be in new mombasa, as its halo general, or Zanzibar could be put at top, as a lot of posts are Multiplayer woes.

a solution could be to split the underground into two sub -forums, into oldschool games and bungie general - as the oldschool guys could have a place relativley spam free like the maw, and we could leave the bungie general at the top of the list, as most 'new people' end up there.

another alternative could be to have the 'front forum' not as strictly set to a 'subject', because as we know people really dont seem to listen to stickies ect. - It could be more of a 'help' forum, which is what a good number of posts in the underground are asking for "I want to ask this before I get in trouble.", "How do you get off the" and "Matchmaking Problem" are on the front page currently, and are all locked. - A lot of threads there, i think, are more people quickly looking for an answer, or rushing to complain about something, and who dont bother to post in the correct forum.

- just my thoughts, Gendo
