I truly believe that the success comes from Bungie itself.
Bungie drew us all into this site with Halo 1-2. People wanted to check their stats, compare games with friends, and just see all Halo stuff. Then, most of them left, going back to their Xbox's and never giving a second thought to b.net.
However, some stayed. They saw their stats, but something made them stay behind. It wasn't the lame jokes. It was Bungie's dedication to their fans, they're Weekly Updates, their friendly Forum posts, and much much more.
This cycle repeated itself with Halo 3, but now more stayed. The community grew. Forums were filled. With Reach, it came to it's max and the forums were filled with activity.
However, it's now been a while since Reach has come out. Halo is out of Bungie's control now, and slowly but surely people are leaving. The forums are becoming slightly less active. But Bungie's engagement has only increased, encouraging members to stay.
Since Bungie has gone dark, times have been rough. Urk hasn't gifted our brains and eyes with his updates and we have no games from Bungie to anticipate. But I look forward to the horizon and the amazing role that this community will play in Bungie's future.
Well done community.
EDIT-To Be Discussed: Why you think Bungie has such an epic community.
