I know this happened quite a bit ago (along with the rest of the Bungie.net (mainly aesthetic) update. But I still for the life of me can't figure out why they changed the navigation to the game forums.
Its so convoluted now and, from what I can see, its causing a lot more misplaced threads especially in the BNet: Community forum. I mean, what was wrong with it before when it was a simple drop down (well, drop rightwards) tab where all the game forums were easily accessible from any page of the site?
The only possible reason I can think of for doing this was to downplay the game forums since Bungie no longer owned the rights or managed in anyway the games mentioned therein. But even then, why downplay them? Bungie made 5 really great Halo games, all good in their own respects. Just because you don't maintain them anymore doesn't mean you never did.
On a side note, I know it's still PRETTY inexcusable for not being able to find your way to the Reach forums, but making it all the much harder has still affected the number of Locked threads due to improper placement.
Also, why put it at the bottom of the tab? Putting it at the bottom right after a long list of all the different branches of what a "Bungie Forum" is makes it all the more indistinguishable within the list, thereby increasing the chances that people will glaze over it and totally miss the place where you go to get to the game forums.
I know this has turned really rant-ish really fast but I just don't understand the methodology behind this change.
P.S. If they already answered this, I'm sorry. But I couldn't find anywhere that they did whilst searching for a duplicate.
TL;DR Me = confused why they changed navigation to the Game Forums.
