Oh. Sorry, then.

You should ban the OP for doing such an idiotic thing.

Not trying to backseat moderate or anything. What the OP just did was a form of direct bullying and will not (and should not) be tolerated on this forum.

Yes that makes you a bad person. Name-calling is not an acceptable thing to do.

Also, nobody's married to Archonos except his wife.

I'm also sick of people thinking that just because he's an administrator, he wouldn't do such a thing.

You're over-reaching, assuming an awful lot, and making some mistakes. By persisting with those mistakes, it's only getting worse.

So, please be patient and calm and I will try to explain things.

Achronos didn't send a PM (abusive or otherwise). The OP made a joke by creating an image of a false PM that was deliberately made to give the APPEARANCE that Achronos is/was angry and unprofessional. The OP knows that Achronos is not, most of the membership knows that he is not, and so, most of them "got the joke".

I know, it's not nearly as funny when it's explained, but that is the case here. Achronos didn't flame, no one was hurt, no one was offended (except for a few people who are unaware of the Bungie Fan Community culture that encourages these sort of occasional shenanigans) and no one (even you) should be outraged.

Does that make any sense or help to soothe your righteous indignation?
And there's the fact that it was done in MS paint, so it can look as unprofessional and blatantly "photoshopped" as possible, in case someone actually thought the fake photo might be real.

*Sigh* I wish more of this community understood the way b.net jokes/humour work(s).

I sadface for the people here that thought this was serious. Really, doesn't get any more dense I suppose. This reminds me of the old April fools threads we had here, in 2009 I believe.

I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

...did you miss the part where he said this kind of light-hearted poking and prodding was accepted and even encouraged on this forum?

It was a joke, kid; lighten up. You've got to be the most bitter 16 year old I've ever seen outside of myself when I was your age, and even I wasn't this uptight.

You guys are all so silly. You actually believed it's fake.
It's true. Achronos has been acting kinda weird lately. I mean, he sends me this message once a week, but he has NEVER misspelled "Ninja" before.
One glance into Foman's inbox tells me a world of things.
Well, I didn't post it before, but I think page 2 of my inbox might shed even more light. Like I noted, he's been doing this for awhile.


MY LORD! What did you do to him to piss him off like that?

Also, I hear your a brony...

It's a joke intended for fun, stop taking it so seriously. Achronos saw this thread, if he believed it was worthy of a ban, he would have acted on it.

It's simple fun.

Really man?
This is how the forums work here, it's a little light hearted ribbing, no malicious intent, just a dude trying to do something that this community perceives as funny to get a few laughs.

You can think it's in bad taste but everyone, including the person who's the butt of the jokes, is getting a good giggle out of the whole thing, can't you just live and let live?

Does Achronos ever work or does he just send hatemail to you all day?

Posted by: marcusrenfro7741
I would ban the OP for that.

I understand. Many people might.

But here's the amazing thing (if you really think about it).

The folks at Bungie, (our hosts) constantly SAY they "love the fans", but this is an example of them SHOWING that they really do. The Bungie Culture (as shown in the last vidoc) has always revolved around good, cool people who work hard, play hard, and can handle both criticism and a good joke (even if the joke is on them).

It's sort of a college dorm, volunteer firehouse, team locker room kind of camaraderie. As long as it is done with a smile, towel snaps, purple nurples, elbows to the ribs and rude jokes are part of the fun. Bungie wants us to know that they understand that we like them, and they actually like us too! It's not a customer/company relationship in this community. It's a "we're all here to have some fun, be serious when it matters, but most of all, we're enjoying hanging out with other people who know how to be cool."

It's unique, I don't know that it exists anywhere else. It's a fine line to walk (some folks try to play jokes, but they are too mean, too cruel, too.... wrong." But it's even possible to live and learn from those instances too.

I've been around this community a long time and I have learned that if your first impulse is to "fire all guns", then maybe you should take a moment to see if other people are smiling and laughing. After all, it is okay to be the guy who didn't get the joke that one time. If you are ALWAYS "that guy", it starts to really suck.

One of two reasons, I'd say:

A) To try and make sure Achronos and the ninjas saw it and would respond to it, thus making it grow and grow.

B) Too many people who didn't understand that it was a poorly-done shop made in jest.

B seems more likely to me.

I am glad that we could sort that out. Unfortunately, we've kind of killed the party/joke in doing so.

We should probably move along.
