Subject: A community worth staying in?

  • Fabled Legendary Member

Private groups and the community forum are the only places I don't feel like I'm constantly losing brain cells.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Stay in the Septagon, newfriend. We're a great community here =)
The bulk of my activity is here in the Septagon. I just feel like jumping into a discussion in any of the other forums is impossible. No one will continue the conversation, but spam or post dumb one-liners that they think is funny. I can stand an occasional trip to the Flood sometimes but I like it here.

Bungie.net is the only good forum for a game company I have ever seen. It most certainly is worth staying in.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Stay away from the Halo forums. It is full of trolls who didn't get the memo. If you want to talk Halo, move to the Halo Waypoint Forums. but, if you still love Bungie games (other then Halo and including Crimson: Steam Pirates) then this is the forum you are looking for. I recommend to stay on this forum and Bungie Universe. Bungie Universe is basically the only place where you can talk Halo in peace here, just incase Waypoint Forums don't work for you.

Waypoint's full of trolls, too. They're just not the kind you can see.

Agreed. I think it's hilarious that people over there glorify the Waypoint forums and then put down the BNet forums when they complain about Reach and things like that just as much as we do. The thing is, the people in the Reach forums know a thing or two about Halo as a franchise so they tend to not tolerate ignorance. But when you're in a community of a bunch of people who started with Reach, you can't be criticized by those who don't know you're wrong.

You, Link1201, and maybe 3 other users are some of the only legitimately helpful people I've seen on those Forums.

I was a finalist :P

I once saw a post in Waypoint merely saying 'The Flood waz here'. I try to help people and discuss fun topics on those forums, but they always seem to get ruined.

  • 09.06.2011 7:46 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

Yeah the forums on the games aren't the best place to go since... well ever. Wasn't around much for Halo 2 but Halo 3 had people trolling over rank in every thread and Reach you have the AA, Bloom haters never shutting up about how "HALO IZ RUINED!!1!"

Community is probably the best of the public forums. Flood is OK too if you can handle a couple people being 4chan wannabes once in a while. It's mostly silly, stupid stuff in good fun though.

What makes this community so great??

Everyone says its great and all, but when ever i go on the reach forum, odst forum
There's your problem.

And please don't refer to women in such vulgar terms, even if it is just to make a point. It's ill-becoming of somebody intelligent, and, assuming you are male, it enforces a different stereotype that many men are belligerent toward women and/or incapable of properly expressing themselves. I'd rather you not make a bad name for my gender.

Now that that is out of the way, you are right, there are many trolls and attention-seekers on these forums, but there is also an active team of ninjas that keep them more or less under control. The community is a good way to relax (assuming you avoid certain threads) and kill time. If you don't have a lot of time to waste and you don't find it relaxing, I'd say forget about it. Basically, join this community for you, not for anyone else. It is, after all, just a website.

As of this afternoon, I don't see why you would want to stay here. Mess up once and "the community" will jump on you for it.

We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

I've never been part of this collective in all my years. I have no idea what's ever going on in "the community," and I only hear about it years later in a post or two remarked off-handedly.

So don't let the above quote get you down. Some forums -apparently- have their bad days. I guess.
Eh...I enjoy the forums. Each one requires a certain mentality to enjoy them, though. So Bungie's good for all moods!!

It's the same with just about any other community.

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

I cannot emphasize how much I agree with this statement. I'm not even kidding, this website has stolen so many hours of productivity from me.

Get out while you still can.

Join SIP today! We smell good. Promise.


It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

I think it's such a great place because there's a spot for everyone. You dont have to mold yourself much to fit in.

The community forum is really the only one that is constantly policed. The others are lost to spam. The flood however is pretty fun and gives b.net some other character.
