Maybe it's just me (probably is), but ever since I came here (about 4-5 months ago) I've felt that the forum, in general is quite anti-social. Know-it-alls, wannabe-moderators and blatant abuse-throwers along with flamers fill the whole place from the Flood to the Septagon.This leads to a strange type of banter between members, a simple question with an even simpler answer can turn too easily into an ugly thread, . Even this thread I can presume is going to get some abuse, Thus isolating the average joe (i.e someone who simply can't be here 24/7). I know there is no solution to this, but I felt that as a serious fan of bungie and its works. That I should make it known that I am dissapointed...

Maybe it's just me?

Probably.

No, it's not you. We're working on it, but it's astonishing how determinedly people will pursue the chance to disparage their fellow man/woman/whatever.

NØØB!! No just kidding even though you asked for it.. ;) well the forums or rather the people in the forums can be pretty rough, just like real life and on xboxlivel, what I do is that I just keep out of the crapheaps *tsk tsk* and answer as sofistcated and cruel in an unpredictable way so the wiseguys just get a complete system overload... confuse them, and act smart.(even though you are not)

No, I agree. But it depend on how you look at it. It is a very large communitee with no entrance fee. It is boud to gather a large group of 'griefers' on all sides. But there are some very nice, intelligent folks scattered amongst the crap. I am actually amazed it doesn't degrade more. I mean, really we all have very little in common. We have come here to discuss a COMPANY and IT'S PRODUCTS! And it's not like Bungie has a huge line of games. But we appreciate the art they put into what they have done and their vision on what games can be.

First, Anti-Social!? These are forums, Anti-Social would be if no one posted at all. The rest is what makes these forums....uhhh, Interesting.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

You're just looking at it in the wrong way. You look it as being Anti-Social, I look at it as a challenge to have a good time :P

I wasn't here in the pre-Halo days. But I'm sure it wasn't as bad as it is now. Before Halo, there probobly wasn't any fuss about cheaters or glitches or calling people the n word. You just have to remember that before the Halo series Bungie.net was most likely way smaller than it is now. With more people, you get someone from every group. The jerks, the sensative ones, the imature ones (we get alot of those :) and a whole bunch of others. Put those together and you get chaos.

The mods do there best, and they are doing a great job. Sure, I get mad once in a while, but you cant let that get to your head.

Just think of what it will be like after the realese of Bungie's next project ;)

Alot of people think they can get away for saying anything as long as they can hide behind their keyboard. But most people here don't take insults very seriously at all. Don't let it bother you, if it does, then they win.

I've had times like that, I remember one night when I made about 4 enemies all separately, one started harassing me for a while, and I still have no idea how I did that... stuff like that happens to me a lot, sometimes I wonder why.

No, but they do love your mom! Ohhhhhh...... lol

The community went downhill. That was apparent more than a year ago. We're sorry if people are being jerkwads, but really, it's just the internet. You can ignore anyone at anytime, although sometimes that'll lead to trouble, but you get the idea.

I’m disappointed in the community as a whole. The moderators, the members. Such a high and mighty attitude. Where if your not in( or known), your not in, which is a given if you consider things that way, but I don’t. It just shouldn’t be. Were all here, like? This isn’t a sob story, it’s how I see it. I’m on a few other forums and the treatment, feeling is a lot different, a strange sense of freedom, could be the “lax” mods and given these (other) forums might have little that interest the youth, but it’s not about that. Basically, what I’m feeling is Meh! That’s how I’ve felt the last few times I’ve been on here. Nothing for it.

Uninterested in it.

I'm not "in" by any means. But I don't care. I respond to threads and help people. And I'm not afraid to let someone know if they are freaking retarded, or if they are jerks. I write a fanfic, I post here, in mombasa, and in the Underground. I'm making my own name for myself. I have never played an oldschool game, but I converse with those who have, and they're fine with that.

You completely took that the wrong way. I was just stating my opinion. I don't think I'm better than you by any means, and wasn't trying to say that. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Don't lie to him Kilroy...we all know your part of the "in" crowd. But seriously there are a few regulars to the forums that know each other and are good friends and play games together it doesn't make them any better than any other member. They are just regulars so people come to them with questions and such becuase they on alot and post often.

That probably came across strong, it wasn't intended that way, but the general feeling in this place, for me...

So since he isn't liked/known by regulars he blaims Bungie and their forums?

All in all, this just sounds like someone who can't make any friends on this website. Maybe he's been misunderstood, who knows?

Are you suggesting there is a cool group among the people of this website? I wouldn't say "cool", but I would say there are groups of people that have become friends after talking with each other for some time.

As for Kilroy, he hasn't changed like Blackeye did, unfortunately. But thats a different story.
