Sounds like the New Hawtness got renamed, or is it much more than a New Hawtness.
Posted by: Achronos
4. The reason it wasn't fixed in the past is because it is considered an incredibly minor bug, and to fix it we'd have to touch an already fragile area of our code. In the risk/reward valuation, we have better things to do. More so than ever, now, given that all our time is devoted to the The Next Big Thing, and not on fixing little bugs in forum code that is likely not long for this world.

So, until such time as The Next Big Thing is upon us, you're going to just have to deal with it. Sorry about that.

So, lets discuss "The Next Big Thing".

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I'm assuming "The Next Big Thing" will be consisted of updates for groups, some forums, and the theme/design of Bungie.net. Maybe we could even receive some new avatars or backgrounds for our profile. Anything could happen!

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Well considering the fact that we keep throwing "New Hawtness" around every time he moves some forums, maybe he felt the need for a new phrase.

On the other hand, maybe he doesn't put three hours of thought into everything he says, and was using words together in a combination that would indicate what he was talking about.

Or both.

What? Got something against Yetis?

He's talking about Stosh's mom.

(Foman's mom was the first "Big Thing.")

Figures someone would start this.

BTW it's FatMarshall.

I am going to hazard a guess and say Achronos is either referencing the work being done to Destiny or the new update which would bring news on Destiny. Either way, we shall recieve word of the "Next Big Thing," and Destiny soon. My friends the coming hour is almost upon us, let us hold vigil till the long awaited day approaches.

The stars are bright tonight

I was a finalist :P

I am guessing it has to do with this site...and something big happening to it. Calm before the storm.

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

Well, we can eliminate all small things, because they certainly won't be it...

Achronos wouldnt dream of giving us a tantalizing hint in the middle of a forum post! That cant possibly be him!

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

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

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

"The Next Big Thing" obviously translates to Bungie's next project.

Possibly, but him referencing junk code that no longer matters directly relates to the web site. He is the Bungie.net overlord, not the hype man for the next game. However, I'm sure they'll be related in some way.

That's most likely part of it. He mentioned changes to the site.

I play for fun and armory completion. :)

There is clearly a major update to Bungie.net and the forums on the way, meaning why bother fixing the current system if it works mostly fine?

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Maybe it'll change the site to such an alarming degree that people will panic.

  • 10.06.2011 10:29 PM PDT

Does anyone even read these?

La Vie Boheme

It's obvious, isn't it?

For those of you uninformed, this is the Next Big Thing.

The only logical conclusion is that Bungie is becoming a record label, publishing music for Disney.
