Subject: Is Bungie.net becoming the Bungie community?

I remember a time when Achronos (I have summoned thee) and Shishka said during one of the many "Bungie employees spend much more time on NeoGAF than Bungie.net" threads that Bungie.net wasn't the place for a Bungie community, or words to that effect.

Now we're seeing unprecedented activity from Bungie employees in all manner of threads.

Has Bungie finally acknowledged that their fan base is here and wants them here, and are now responding to that? Will we be seeing continued and possibly more interaction from now on?

Maybe they are just bored?

In reality, I don't know since I don't stalk their activity...

Yeah, I've noticed an increase in Bungie employees posting lately. I think its great but it derails the thread a lot.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

I have noticed increased activity by Bungie employees lately. I sure hope they are starting to like B.net more. Perhaps it is because, with the loss of control over the Halo franchise, a certain portion of the fan base left which seemed to result in slightly more mature topics, especially in the Community forum.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

I too have noticed the increased employee presence. We'll see if the trend continues once news of the new game starts coming out.

I haven't noticed a change in anything at all. Bungie has always been really good at interacting with its fans. You guys should feel lucky, most other game developers barely ever interact with their fans at all.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

Bungie.org will probably be the permanent home of the Bungie community. It's a bit more community-oriented as apposed to here where it's a bit scattered, unfortunately.

That's not what they meant, not at all.

The Bungie community is the fans and the studio all interacting with each other.

Bungie.net houses Bungie's own little space given to us to use for that interaction, and the existence of these forums is Bungie's acknowledgement and complimentary service to the members of the community who choose to use it.
This website is for the community and that should be obvious. Shishka and Achronos only meant to say that the people who use Bungie.net aren't any more special than any other fans who interact somewhere else.

I don't think they'll ever care whether or not we use Bungie.net specifically, but just that we interact somehow, be it through the games or any site.


This perceived heightened activity, anyway, is likely due to the relative crawl of the Crimson forum. I'm sure employee posts haven't risen, you can just find them easier because they don't get pushed off of the page so quickly.

Probably to spice up the forums a bit.

Yes, I did use the term "spice".

You keep looking down on everyone because you still fancy yourself a moderator of
These here forums.
Honestly, stop taking everything so seriously!

I'd still tap that.

"This" is why I tend to avoid your threads like the plague.

One could say now that the reason Bungie employees don't post much is because whenever they post it can lead to the thread being derailed, like all this stupid stuff that has come from that original "joke" posted in this thread.

However, the problem lies with idiotic members, not the employees. Everyone else shouldn't miss out because of the actions of a few (people I don't even have words for...)

I thought bad jokes were against the rules, anyway?

The Fomans mum joke (forced meme) is new, and you're newer than the Fomans mum joke, so what does that say about you, hmm?
