Subject: How has the community changed while you were a member?

I am a Floodian

The title is the question and it's a simple one. Just reflect on your time here and how the community has changed since you became a member.

I for one remember when The Flood would attack other forums on this websIte and not other websites entirly. Good times.


Edit: a change in community size is not an acceptable answer on this exam. Think deeper.

It's changed every time Bungie's released a new Halo game since I've been here. It gets bigger, then some people move on and it gets smaller again. I bet this whole community will slow to a crawl while Bungie's gone dark.

I joined about 5 months before Reach was released, but I knew nothing of the Community untill New tears of this year. Nothing has changed for me.

The most dangerous gunslinger in the west.

I don't remember too much from early time. Mods were lurking but never posted (I think). That's about it :(

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

The site changed A LOT. As did the community. It seems the larger Bungie gets the larger this online community becomes - until it engulfs teh world D:

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

I do miss the soccerball-esque navigation bar at the bottom of the screen.

Eh, it's 50-50 the way I see it. I have most definantly changed looking at posts 12 pages back, but I have also noticed the the community started to reject the idea of change more and more up till the point where 99% of the ideas are left in the dust.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Went from exciting to Halo Reach complaints...

The Community didn't change. Only my perspective did.

"Living to smile, and not to succeed; smiling to inspire happiness, not to give the illusion you are happy; creativity and music to inspire smiling, which in turn inspires happiness; being nice to be happy, not for being perceived a good person."

Scale and volume has changed, but the people and the demographic haven't really changed that much.

There's a lot more cake and shenanigans than I remember in the Halo 2 days.

Posting links to meatspin seems to be the norm among trolls nowadays.

Words of wisdom all around, but no one ever seems to listen. The words are all around but the words are only sound. But nobody seems to listen. Instead they'll say, "Well how could we of known?" I'll tell em, "It's really not so hard to tell. keep adding stones, and the water gets lost in the well."

I agree with most of this. It may happen, but I don't think this website will ever "die". Regardless of who is the puppeteer.

‮‮Awesax

It was good when I joined but then I took all the good members to a different website and then it was bad.

Or so some people say?

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

Change in community size... oh.

More leniency on the rules. :'( I don't like it.

Not much. Members still strive for popularity and desperatly want the attention of their beloved moderators.

That's true. I sympathize with SK15.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

Seems like the overall attitude went from "Halo 3 is a terrible game riddled with problems that Bungie won't fix and Halo 2 is the best game EVAR!" to "Halo Reach is a terrible game riddled with problems that Bungie won't fix and Halo 3 is the best game EVAR!"

Hello! I'm Bunie.net's resident medical student (hell i'm sure there are more but I'm the only one who openly declares it!) I love my emblem, and I am periodically active.
I have a Twitter

There is definitely a lot more worry within the community.

  • 06.19.2011 2:07 AM PDT

Twitter | Nothing

Pretty much exactly the same, just with more people.

  • 06.19.2011 2:15 AM PDT

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

The Button

I joined in 2008 but I didn't get really active until Reach came out. So I can't really say much.

Do NOT send me Recruitment Letters, doing so will get you blocked faster than you can say "Huh?"

Well I'm not sure if this counts but I remember when scripting used to be all the rage here, not so much anymore though.

Remember kids: when Uncle Delta tells you he has sweeties, he isn't lying.

Now get in the van.


The Black Chapter

No idea. Can't remember the state of affairs back then.
There was no-one constantly waffling on about coup though, which is something I miss dearly.
