When he was younger, he was the one who always had the jokes and riddles that would keep the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years however, his lifetime of combat had hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. Within Will, John thought, something special had been lost.

There are some wonderful ideas here. And, I love the idea of people using this website more to actually enhance the time they spend playing games. As has been said, it just needs to happen in the right way. For now, allow me some time to strategize with the Ninjas and the Bungie.net team. We are listening to you.
More to come...
I'm glad to see more active and direct involvement from Bungie. You always hear the older members talking about the good old days. So hearing that lighting a fire under this community is in the works and that it's a priority concern, means that I can't wait.
I don't feel like this community is strong as it is now. It just seems like a bloated afterimage of a better yesterday. Just a bunch of cliques floating around like fragments thinner and thinner after every explosion of new users coinciding around launch times. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like it's hard to be involved around here. There's only so much going on, and it seems like the taste I had of what this community is capable of was just ending when I got here. If there were more ways to be involved around here I believe you'd see this community coming back together again. Iris was the highlight of my stay here, but that launch also saw many of the regular members of that time estranged and distancing themselves once it was over and the population peaked. "There goes the neighborhood" seemed to be the general consensus. I don't think you can put things back to the way they were or if we even should, but if there can be a core to this community again that's where I want to be. And with a community this large, I think we've seen the extent of what we as members are capable of affecting around here as a whole. Structure coming from the top down to us seems to be the only way forward, and I'm excited to see action being taken toward that end.
I hope you enjoy your stay here DeeJ. I look forward to our reinvented community.
