Subject: My Idea to help revive the community forum

I think it would help revive the community forum if someone made a "Bungie News Team" that showcases forum threads, groups, etc. What are your thoughts?

Revive it? It's exactly the same as it has always been.

Honestly, these are the moments to cherish. You'll soon be wishing this was how the forums are when Bungie's new IP is announced.

No, it's always been like this.
Plus I like the activity at the level it is right now.

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

I remember when comm chatter was down so someone made a thread for posting news, oh what fun we had, I dont think it lasted very long though.

I meant as in a twitter account and maybe a fb page dedicated to this forum

It's been slower than usual because Bungie hasn't been active.

Are you sure? It's always been a lot slower than the Flood and the games forum, but it's hardly dead. Honestly, it was only extremely fast recently due to Bungie day and the swag bags.

As your for your idea, it's very interesting, but the group spotlight already exists even though it's barely an extremely notable feature of the site. And the thread spotlight idea's interesting, but good threads won't need publicity to be seen by the average user (especially after the game forums cease to exist).

And honestly, I thought that was a bit of a dumb thread. Not to flame anyone, but that was created only two weeks after Bungie Day. Nothing changed except the discontinuation of Weekly Updates. The Community Forum is fine.

Oh well, thank you for the input. Im gonna try out my idea, just for fun. If anyone would like to join me, anyone is welcome

I missed the idea of a twitter account or something similar to Bungie.net specific community comm chatter. That sounds pretty cool. It could be the Bungie.net community's own HBO newspage. I imagine that would need several people working on it though so that notable Bungie.net happenings could be recorded at all times of the day though. Quite the monumental task.

In my opinion, the part of the website that is having the biggest drought, are the groups. Something interesting needs to happen to contain them for a while....

Ehh... not really. I'm usually quite busy with other things such as school work and I'm not sure I could commit to something like that at the moment. I wish you the best of luck. I'm sure you can find some extremely willing members to support you though!

Exactly what I thought when I saw this thread.

Thx man, if you ever change your mind, just PM me or something. Also, just made the Twitter account, @BungieNews

  • 07.21.2011 5:55 PM PDT

This forum is just like it's always been, on and off. It's always going to be like that.

I don't really see why the activity matters. The main purpose of the community is mostly to fix problems and ask questions anyway.
