Subject: Is the Silence completely necessary?

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

Bungie have gone dark, i understand why they have done this, i have no problem with it. But my question to the community is it necessary to go completely dark, with no communications at all?

I am not talking about BWU's, with no content why make them? I agree there, but why has the Comm Chatter gone? Excellent videos, articles and others are now being missed by the very community that they where made for. Would it be possible for the comm chatter to be maintained?

Dont be shy...
Im sorry for my coup changes but Im new at this.

After the dark always comes the light.
Maybe they have something prepared.

We were somewhere around Barstow...

I think the BWU should be maintained, even in a dumbed down capacity. We all know you're working on the next big thing so we can understand and accept tiny incremental updates. The whole weekly update thing is a really cool concept and something which seems almost unique to Bungie as a developer. People come here on Fridays religiously and it's a shame that there isn't as much for them these days.

Its a shame that it's gone, but i understand why they have retired it for now, if there's nothing to put into it, its going to be a crappy update. They may as well rest it for a bit an maintain it's high standard. I just don't see why the comm chatter had to go.

I'm here for Bungie, not Halo. Personally I would be happy with updates that just say stuff of interest that has happened around the office. That stuff interests me.

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

We're gonna come on here one day about a month or so after PAX and the we won't even recognize the site. I bet you.

Very sad, but very true.

Since the updates aren't happening, and nobody is going to learn anything new for awhile I think we should get weekly "dark" and/or "silence" related puns.

It'll make ignorance fun!

I wonder what percentage of the community Bungie expects to lose during their dark period? Or if they even care?
