Eternal

Not sure...there is like some extraterrestrial force constantly drawing me back to b.net

I blame stosh, too

NOTE: You probably should have posted this in the Bungie Community forum, rather than the Universe forum.

Sometimes? These days, it's rare to find something worth your time.

Because I dislike everything about Waypoint: the layout of the forums, the layout of the stat pages, and the way the forums are moderated.

I don't feel comfortable posting there because it seems like actual discussion is discouraged; the moderators are too strict in enforcing rules and they take things to the extreme. Pointing out that someone is wrong because of differing experiences or misinformation can get you banned for "attacking" other users, just the same as blatantly calling them names. Clear, concise reasons for bans and a link the the pertinent post are rarely included by the mod, though the staff constantly claims otherwise and denies all evidence to the contrary.

I wanted to like 343's forums, I really did. I had hoped they would have good, intelligent discussions where people could maturely debate elements of the franchise but such debates seem to be frowned upon; instead users seem encouraged to smile, nod, and agree with absolutely everything. I'm sorry to say it but that kind of environment could harm the franchise; after all, if people can't voice their unique opinions on the game, how will it ever grow and change?

The layout of their stat pages is horrible as well; instead of neatly-organized information like I find here on Bnet, it looks like something tried to eat my stats and then simply regurgitated them all over the screen in a big, messy heap. Supposedly they're redesigning the stat pages, though, so maybe there's some hope on that front.

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

Hm... [people saying these forums are inteligent, good community, etc.]

Yeah, Um... NO.

Don't flame/attack people,no matter you're right or wrong.

Looks like some people didn't watch the What's next for halo waypoint pannel.

Like how Reach grew and changed? Yeah, that's what we want to avoid. Waypoint isn't strict. But it doesn't allow the trolls and idiots to do what they do. Be stupid and be trolls. Have you realized what the state of the forums are in here? I just come back here from time to time to check if Bungie has released anything new.

I'm painfully aware of the state of the forums here, hence why I said I had hopes for Waypoint. Regrettably, Waypoint is not what I was expecting.

In the Waypoint forums i admit i feel a bit trapped. But here, though it may be more "free" in a way, it's gone to hell. Seems deserted. It was more alive once. At least you can have a decent discussion over at Waypoint.

Again I have to disagree with the notion of better discussion there; it feels like their moderation staff is overzealous in trying to preemptively squash potential problems.

Moderation here is a bit too loose and moderation there is wound too tight. I'd spend more time on Waypoint if they would tone it down a little and shoot for something in the middle. As it is, if I posted half as much there as I do here, in the same general manner/tone I use here, I'm fairly certain that I'd be banned inside of 72 hours.

The community over there is too unctuous.

  • 10.02.2011 10:15 AM PDT

Because I've been here for 6-7 years now or so. Waypoint, well been there, posted some stuff. But in the end, the ones on Waypoint who say anything sane, and are somewhat "important" so to speak, are the bigshots from B.net (Grey for instance) who I talk to here also...

Add to that: Waypoint Forums have a glitch that won't let me log in using my Live account, so B.net seems the most logical place to go.
Maybe when the new Gamma Forums are online at Waypoint I will make the definite step to their forums. But for now, I'm totally fine here :)

Got nothing better to do at this time anyways. Plus what he said. The waypoint forums are just full of people complaining and being stupid anyways.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

After politely clearing up some misinformation someone had for their idea for Halo 4's story and telling them they should really have evidence to back themselves up, I got banned for "attacking" them

Why bother?
