Subject: Let's all give Urk a big fat Thank You.

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

Who said Urk is leaving? Sure Bungie's next game is years away but when they content begins to roll in, we can all expect this site and Urk to spring back to life.

EDIT: I guess Urk is no longer writing the WU, I will miss them, but thank you Urk and good luck DJ.

Exactly. Think of him as the new Sketch, but with more or less beard. I can't remember. Did it grow back?

Anyways, thank you, Jurk, for maeking werds for us. Thanks for dealing with our -blam!- and gracefully representing Bungie and, at times, us.

URK is staying (as far as we know), but I think that the thread is more along the lines that we may not be seeing him around much anymore.

If I had one wish for Bungie.net, it would be to be able to change my username. Even if it cost me Microsoft Fun-Money, Space Bucks, or Stosh Dollars. That is all.

I believe he's still with Bungie, but not as a Community Manager.

You'll find the majority of people know, only those who are 'slow' don't.

Am I the only one who seems to know Urk's position with the company?

Sarcasm, bro.

Bungie would be silly to only have Urk writing blog posts and updates. Honestly, the dude has a way with words, and I would not be surprised at all if he's a main content writer/editor for the new IP. I'm not being a fanboy or sucking up right now, just a knowledgeable speaker/writer of the English language that knows a good writer when I see one.

Now then, I hope this doesn't mean the end for our Urk filled updates. Maybe split your time half and half Mr Osborne? Us as the community would love to see you around.

Actually, that is urk's new job.

Put away the cake. He's not going anywhere. On second thought, keep the cake. We all know that empty promises of such always end badly.

All kidding aside, I can step outside the role of new company man one more time and sincerely recognize that urk did a sterling job of running all of us through the maze - myself included. I will take a page out his playbook as I start plotting my own maneuvers.

You haven't heard the last from him. And I will be here to keep the chatter lively while he schemes behind the curtain.

Hey DeeJ.

OT: thanks Urk. I've enjoyed every minute I've spent here.

  • 11.14.2011 11:11 PM PDT

Urk isn't necessarily leaving us, but it is definitely a turn the this new chapter of Bungie.

Posted by: DeeJ^But we might as well give this guy a great big welcome.^

Your chatter is too friendly and not nearly sarcastic enough. If you want your reception to be a memorable one you need to come out throwing haymakers. Jabs are for moderators.

Off into the Vortex of Bungie, tell Luke we said hi.

  • 11.15.2011 1:23 AM PDT

Urk did an amazing job managing the community. He set the bar for community involvement. So thank you, Urk. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future for the new IP.

I look forward to seeing what DeeJ has installed for us.

  • 11.15.2011 1:45 AM PDT

What a hipster.

Posted by: DeeJ
You and Urk now being the dynamic duo remind me of Will Farrel and John C. Reilly from Step Brothers. That being said, how on earth did you get this job?!

OT: Cheers to Urk! A big fat thank you!

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

We will miss you Urk.
