It's the old name for the things on Bungie.net we call Groups.

Thanks guys.

so... (correct me if i'm wrong) a chapter is like a clan but over the World Wide Web. Rather than over Xbox Live.

Chapter- any group you can join on Bungie.net.

at least, i believe they were.

What is a chapter? It is the question that is at fault. You should be asking "How is a chapter?".

Actually, I was just talking out of my arse. I just wanted an excuse to say "it is the question that is at fault".

Basically, a Chapter on bungie.net is an arm of the Seventh Column, Bungie's fan club and underground army. Chapters are meeting places for members of Bungie.net; they each have a forum, a front page for news, and resource databases to store important secret plans and other things like contact information, movie reviews, articles, links, you name it, basically. They even get a nifty guestbook for passers-by to sign and comment on your chapter.

You can use your chapter for any number of purposes - as a place to hang out or organise LANs with your friends, to discuss life, the universe, and everything, to tell everyone about your dog, to start a Reiginko fan club, or whatever. It's all up to you.

If you create a chapter, a good place to find lots of helpful info is Chapter Founders.

If you want to advertise your chapter, either put a link in your signature, or post in the Classifieds forum. Don't be a jerk and post about it in the other forums, or send people unsolicited private messages about your chapter. That will make me hate you, and that is not good for anyone.

Basically, it's the type of group that isn't a clan.

My day is never complete without a PM asking to join someone's chapter.

Reiginko fan club? Now there's an ego.

The problem with the classifieds is that it's overrun with clan advertisements. Your group advertisement barely gets an hour on the first page of the Classifieds before it's lost forever.

A good place seems like the Spotlight, but that's always filled with the Marty Army. Why is that?

Because that is jsut the way Bungie is. It's just one of those constants.
