I have an idea about all this. It's just sort of a trend I spotted. I doubt it's Bungie's design. If it is, then they are brilliant. But I think that people kind of start off in the public forums of Bungie.net. But they eventually graduate, either to groups, or to fansites. Places where they are admins, and they get to appreciate Bungiedom in whatever way they think is best. Which opens the door for new folks to get on the public forums an make their marks. As well as get to know the other people making their marks at the same time.
To me it sort of reminds me of college. It's like you went to this school and I went to this same school. And we both indetify with it, but not necessarily with each other. Maybe you went there 5 years ago and I went there 10 years ago. And neither of us is there now. But we each separately still get together with the people we were there with and appreciate the old times. And sort of relive them, but in a different place.
Pay attention, see if I'm onto something. Based on all the websites I've seen from people saying, "We used to be on Bungie.net back in the day," I think I'm onto something. Because some of these groups don't even know each other. Because they left/graduated from Bungie at completely different times.
And then there's the folks that decide to stick around the school after graduation. And they stick around to welcome all the new generations. As well as to receive all the older generations when they stop back to reminisce. This group of people, is very small, it's like Shishka, Sketch and probably some people who we don't know, but who the old timers do. This group is vital to the whole operation working. If no-one stuck around to support the institution and the community it would fade into memories. But if people upkeep it, then the presence persists and people cherish it.
Eh, it's just my idea. Take from it what you will. Or completely dismiss it, which is also perfectly fine by me.
Lets see, heard of Halo, came here, found the forum, did the forum thing, found some groups to join, joined them, advanced to admin, then took on being Admin of an entire forum on a fansite.
I love b.net, I come back here every now and then to check out the latest WWU, surf The Underground, maybe stick my nose into The Septagon, and the thing is, the majority of peeps I see on here are new, theres the odd one who becomes common for a month or two, and then of course there are the oldies, some of whome have become Mods, which I am glad to see.
I am a happy to be a graduate of the B.net website, forum, and groups, and have fond memories of my time here, expect to see me around every now and then. Later yall!
