I'm a college dropout.

A lot of people complained about Halo, lol. How far back were you thinking? Because I was only around for the Halo 3 forum and that wasn't nice.

This thread would have appealed to me more if it was written with crayons.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

I think the changes have been so gradual I haven't really noticed them, ultimately I don't think the community has changed that much though.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I joined in 2008, so basically I could say the community has exploded in numbers and has lost a fair number of IQ points.

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

Well, the forums have definitely gotten bigger, but so has Bungie.net as a whole. I think the biggest thing I've noticed is that the member base is getting younger and younger. When I first joined, it was rare to see a 13 year old on the forums (at least from what I saw), but now you see them everywhere.

It also seems that with the lowering of the age bar, that the quality of a lot of the content here has slowly dropped. I remember a day when you could actually find decent topics in the Flood. Now you still see good topics in the Flood from time to time, but a lot of it has changed.

But, change is good. Or at least, it better be.

Since I became a member, I have noticed a a big shift away from the use of private groups.

How has it changed? One word; downhill.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

The community as a whole hasn't changed, but the members have. Older, mature members have dwindled in number as many have left. Some younger people seem to have replaced them. Old spammers have either grown up or gone away, but new members join their ranks all the time. Younger members grow up, but they get replaced by newer members.

It's actually quite beautiful in a way. Almost like a portrait of the cycle of generations in real life.

I may seem to come across as a -blam!-, but I'm really just trying to help.

Ive created a second account since I joined back in late '07, seen a lot of change between game releases and map packs. Hopefully it stays to a reasonable chatter during the dark phase, I'll certainly stick around.

Come across many familiar faces and many new ones, some trolls and many friendlies. Gotta love B-net.

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.
This. A few good members left and some new ones turned up. And the entire site goes through its ups and downs over the years.

  • 06.20.2011 8:54 PM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

Well...

From 2007-2011, I'd say it's changed drastically. A lot of the older and mature members left. The community is full of much younger members and a lot more trolls.

I'd say it's worsened.

It's not a maybe, it's truth. I've even noticed it in my two (almost three) years here.

Actually, it seems like more younger members are the inhabitants of the site. As well as worse trolls.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

Salmon and Gold were seen more often. Blue bars didn't seem so common.
