With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Is there any way to get one of the most entertaining forums on Bungie.net back up and running?

It might be asking for too much, but maybe the mods could be the ones to submit pictures for caption contests in the forum, so it could be taken off the direct hands of bungie? If it was regular user-submitted, then there would probably be a lot of crap that would be sent in for acceptance... so that would be bad.

Suggestions?

I agree - I wish SketchFactor and whoever else needed would update it. The last time the "Winners' Circle" was updated was back before the new hotness (looking at the date).

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!

Its sad that just about everything on this site eventually dies from inactivity. I'd love the gallery back

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

Me too. However, if the mods were to do it, that will give them less time to moderate, and these forums need all the moderating they can get. So while I would also like it to come back, I am not sure how it could be brought back without sacraficing something else.

If the forums need mods that desperately, perhaps it's time to add a couple moderators.

Perhaps... but I don't think the Gallery would really be all that much to handle. Post a picture within 5 minutes, and wait a week for the captions to accumulate, then spend perhaps a little over 10 minutes then to read over the captions and decide which is best. That doesn't really sound that bad, does it? We've got 10 mods, more or less... that's more than enough to handle what would be less than 30 minutes spread out over a week for a small Forum.

Hell, if I didn't think that my schedule would end up being sporatic once school starts up again, I'd volunteer...

And I'd probably end up being bad at it, anyway, seeing that I don't really have a good sense of humor.

But perhaps I'm underestimating things... the B.net fanbase IS larger than it used to be...

I dont think it would be too much either but if the moderators are needed that much on the forums now, then it would make sense to add 1 or 2. Of course, I'm just going off what the other guy said. I don't frequent these forums as much as I used to.

You may be underestimating things Shai. Finding a good picture might be hard, and if the gallery was open again, I think there would be a whole lot of captions to read, with most of them being horrible, unfunny, and stupid. Just look at this thread. There are over 30 pages of comments, and some poor mod would have to actually read all of it. A lot of the jokes are amazingly bad, and I bet there would be a lot more captions if it was revived, as we've gotten many more users since that thread was posted.

Your right, of course... but I'm just getting a bit anxious for something that will actually catch my eyes on these forums, which I don't get much of, anymore... Perhaps I'm being too selfish.

But on a lighter note, Halo, wouldn't it be absolutely hilarious to see some captions on a clip of that "Spaz Award" that you give out on Red vs Blue? I mean, I died laughing just looking at the thing when you submitted it to my profile's comments!

Before the board even existed?

Amazing!

The new hotness is the forums you are on now. They went up around April of 2004

No.

Hmm... are there a lot of funny pics with things that went wrong with Halo 2? Do we need more funny pics to talk about? Maybe if we have more people submit funny photos of things that are Bungie related, we can revive The Gallery.

Yeah, but you have to admit the guy is quite attractive for a spaz. The majority of the pictures in my image gallery on RvB would have hilarious captions as well but many of them aren't Bungie/Halo 2 related.
