Subject: There should be no Crimson forum...

What about the classified fourm? It has little traffic too.

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.

There might be a simple answer: If Bungie promised Harebrained a forum on bnet for their game, then Bungie wouldn't have much choice in the matter. (I'm not sure that's the case since we don't see any employees posting there, though.)

I think the idea of individual forums is so that a community could eventually form there; a forum containing conversations on half a dozen games or more would probably be less like a community and more like an infodump, IMO.

You're also ignoring the possibility of Crimson moving to different platforms and increasing its userbase, which might lead to a more active forum in the future.

Finally, this seems like a solution in search of a problem. The only downside I can see is having too many forum links in the nav, and the web team can deal with that if it ever comes up.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Maybe a forum for crimson was in their contract for Bungie and maybe this is the only place for steam pirates to go.

It was made by some fellows called Harebrained Schemes while it was published by Bungie Aerospace. Published as in the same sense as EA or Activision for example.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I agree that the Crimson forum is completely unnecessary.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

I imagine once other games are published through the aid of Bungie Aerospace, that forum will be renamed and will therefore increase in activity in the long run.

Right now I see it as a placeholder for things to come and of course a forum to discuss Crimson. Incorporating the forum into another might have been a good idea if Bungie was planning on just supporting that one game.
