Since Bungie has gone dark they need to give someone the ability to manage the Comm Chatter. What I mean by this is they need to have someone who will get on here everyday and will go through and accept/decline Comm Chatter requests. This will help keep members coming back to the site.

There is many different ways they could do it. They could give one person the ability, multiple people the ability, or have a designated Bungie workers do it even now that they are "dark", and more!

What do you think of this idea? Also which way do you think they should do it?

Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't Bungie already gone dark?

The only way this wouldn't be abused is to give it to a moderator to do. Also, I'm sure urk can come on to accept or decline things like that...

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

It's alright if Bungie goes dark.

Just know that xbox.com will always be there for us.

Since Achronos has been commenting on people's thread quite a bit lately I wouldn't say they have gone "dark" yet.

Bungie Day '11 Community Mosaic Thread

everybody listen to mac2po he is 100% right

They've already have gone completely dark, but I agree. I think Urk, or someone should still be updating the Comm Chatter and posting "news" there.

Though most of the news that gets submitted will have to be Bungie related, because anything Halo will probably not be approved.

Yes. I thought so.

IO think by going dark Bungie is not longer giving any info or putting up any updates. They are still interacting with the community and can accept comm chatter posts.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

Your definition of "going dark" is flawed.

  • 08.09.2011 7:49 PM PDT

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I can't see any non-employee getting direct access to an ability to edit the site. But I could see a dedicated group, maybe. Content could be submitted, be ridiculously ridiculed, then once it gets enough support could be bubbled up to Urk/someone to post it to the Comm Chatter. Would be Community driven. Community Chatter.

At one point in the past forum ninjas had the ability to do it. But that ability was removed from the some time in the past.

Hmm... if that's the case then maybe a Master Forum Ninja could be given the ability.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Because of your desktop's monitor, that's what's lighting up the room, the lightswitch is over there by the door.

I think a large part of it might be the fact that since they are no longer in charge of Halo and they haven't shown their new universe, there wouldn't be much to post on the Comm.

What Alec said. I guess if you're interested in who had lunch (might be a big hit as it was pretty popular the other day)and where they got it from.

The lights are out in the navbar, I'd say they're dark already.

I'd harbour a bet that they'll be switched on again when they're done being dark.

This happens every few years, going dark no big deal... Unless its like pitch black ( the movie ) but thats more like the flood forum on a daily basis



Jusy stay out of the flood and you will make it through.

Yeah dude, this is dark, dark just means they're not releasing any new info or really visibly working on anything, that doesn't mean they can't still interact with the community.

Master Forum Ninjas used to have that ability, but then Qbix became one and that ability magically disappeared ...

If it was pitch black they wouldn't post at all and would probably close the website right?
