MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Poll: Do you consider your chapter to be active? (FOUNDERS ONLY)  [closed]
Yes:  51%
(57 Votes)
No:  49%
(54 Votes)
Total Votes: 111

This poll is for anyone and everyone who has founded a chapter that still exists. I have been on Bungie.net since early 2002, and have run probably one of the most successful chapters ever on B.net. But, currently, my chapter is practically dead, other that a few loyal members (bless them).

If you are currently a founder, what is the current state of your chapter? I was going to use more options other than "yes" and "no", but I realized there really is no in-between. Either your chapter is active or not.

Thanks for your participation!
=)

Well it's hard to tell for the group im helping running. (Co-run between 3 people) But i think we are active. We only have 19 members, but we only started on the 3rd, and only started getting members on the 9th. So we will have to wait and see. It's a great idea we have, and i think things will pick up if we get some recruitment going.

I had a group for about a month and then kicked everyone. Nothing was happening in it.

Good to see you back Mr. Smiley (no you don't know me).

And goldhawk, it's TGP, not TPG.

Not really, no. I'd prefer that it were more active, but even a few posts in a couple of days is good. It's not like people can think in an instant. I did actually have a lot of activity one night, but then it slowed since there are no new topics. Speaking of which...

Yeah Mabian we're waiting on the new topic you promised. No math!!!! I am a pretty active member in a good chunk of my groups, but I really don't feel up to making a group of my own. There are better people at it then me. I am more than willing to help with any of the groups I am a member of though.

Right now we're slow, but not dead, however we're going to do a reorg, and try to bring about some activity for a group of related chapters.



Maybe a revamp of NQC in your chapter would help to get some people, and maybe another MAster Chief adventure.

Depends if I'm allowed to claim ownership of Body Politic now Reig isn't around so much. If so then yes, it's active.

Come to think of it though, Mongul Knights is only slightly less active than it was in 2002 and Theme Masters' activity waxes and wanes according to when people submit new work [and I presume when the theme queue is cleared]. So things are pretty steady these days.

Twitter | Nothing

Like Goldhawk said Games in Action is doing pretty well, our forums are very active. We have some good ideas, just need ways to get our group to the big public audience.

  • 01.13.2006 8:56 AM PDT

My groups are far from active.

My groups mildly active. It's only been around for like a month though. I fear it will grow severely inactive i time.

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen mrsmiley post......

  • 01.13.2006 9:14 AM PDT

well, i know that i've got one semi-active group...i just booted 200+ people from it for inactivity, but its still semi-active...so i don't know what that means. We get things done, how about that?

My other group is small, but very active. Check the link in the bottom. Its 'Games, Music and stuff'. A fun little group.

the last one i co-founded, and i'd say its active.

so i voted yes.

  • 01.13.2006 9:15 AM PDT

I dont know how to get active members, the only active members are me and Johnrap

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

It's good to hear chapters out there that are still "semi-active". I am trying to decide whether or not it would be worth it to write some new articles for chapter founders about running a good group. I figure, as always, when Bungie announces it's new project, this place will be jumping. Perhaps I can help get founders prepared for that. Anyways, thanks for the replies! This helps me decide what I should do, and should also give Bungie a bit of insight into the current state of the Column. Keep the votes/replies coming. =)

We're hoping to also work in some time in the coming months to work on the 7th Column groups to make them more... well... more full featured again.

No promises, but Sketchfactor and I have not forgotten about the 7th Column.

Please now would be a very good time... We need something big to get the groups running better...

I made a new group after my old one, The Darker Side, died. I have made a new group, but its almost dead. WHY!

People just get tired of the same thing after awhile. Some of the groups I was active in, I had gotten tired of. I just give myself a little time off and come back. Some people though just move on to other things. Trying to find active members is hard , but keeping them is even harder.

MSXL: The Last Honest Chapter

Hey Achronos. Good to hear from you, man. I figured this thread would help provide some insight into getting things ready for the next rush. I know you guys still have a soft spot for the column, and I'm sure you have some new stuff up your sleave. Looking forward to whatever you have planned for the new year/new project!
