Some of you guys are lazy; that's pathetic
You talk like spamming and flaming isn't common on the internet. It's everywhere you go. However, I've seen good forum members cure this problem, by being just that: good forum members
The problem isn't the amount of mods, or what we can do. The problem is that all the good people I used to know on the old Bungie.net don't care for this site anymore; you don't. And you're damn right it pains me
Banshee Barron - Gotta love him, but only once in a long while do I see him post in New Mombasa
Rip Saw - Equally a friend, but doesn't dare tread into New Mombasa, for reasons I don't know
Fastmatt - Remember him? Wow, I don't even KNOW where he went
Shatterstar - Same
JoeyBagaDonuts - Same
You see the pattern? The first drop-off came when the new hotness arrived. I knew the feeling. It's a feeling that you want all the new people to recognize that you've been here before the Newness, and you're the common folk around the site. It was at this point that some oldies began to dip out. It must of been an overwhelming feeling that you couldn't live up to, and thus decided that you won't be a regular on Bungie.net anymore, but now be known as a "veteran" that doesn't come around anymore
This needs to stop. Every, single, person that has come to Bungie.net from the OLD OLD school, up until the second I'm typing this, all share one very important thing in common: a love for Halo, and a love for Bungie. Through this, good can come, but it's up to the people that want to put effort into the cause to discover how well it can get. Forums all over the net have their problems; Xbox.com forums, could be the flame capital of the world wide web. Let's make our own reputation, shall we?
Let's put some serious effort into identifying ourselves through action, and not through submissions into the Bungie.net complain box. Get in there, spread good forum etiquette, and display how bonding and welcoming a website can become. Don't let simple things like spamming and flaming fatigue your ability to get up and improve things
Bungie is busting ass on making the best game ever; I suggest we bust ass on making the best gaming community ever
Hell yea?
