To Make Posts is Glorious

Some threads will get posts before others and it is the duty of the Leadership to ensure that posts are made that best suit the public welfare.

"heh"

You know, when you are at Bungie.net home, and you see that thing on the side that says Forum
Most popular/active thread

that thing? and why does it say, Forums unavailable under it? Why is that even there if it doesnt do anything? and to my knowledge, Its been there for ever hasnt done any thing.

Or not, since Achronos has been aware of this for a long time (it's been like that for ages now).

For awhile I thought it was forshadowing the forum search thing, but it doesnt do anything.

I remember a long time ago. It was more than a year ago actually. I wasn't a member of bnet, but I read all of the news and stuff on the front page. I remember it working. I'm sure it was a glorious thing. It led to a land filled with milk, honey, and SMG's....

I think there were performance issues, so it was taken out to be improved.

I can see how it might. If was tracking the rate at which threads are posted in (as opppsed to the thread with the most posts), it's got to do a lot of tracking. Can't say it's a huge loss.

What might be interesting would be a "Moderator Pick" on the front page.

7th Column Groups also have a most popular sidebar, so that couldn't be a Moderator Pick as well.

Just because a thread is popular doesn't mean it has high quality. I've seen some popular threads turn into flame wars.

Besides, wouldn't you eventually find a thread that has a lot of activity in it?

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Taken out? They should have taken out the entire box.
