Key

Hell to the no. BNet is cool and all, but I have quite a nice life outside of it. I'm sure it could occupy me and compensate for the time spent exclusively (which isn't much since I usually just have the page open while I do school-work and refresh it now and again).

To pay to use a forum implies an aura of exclusivity when it comes to that forum when, in reality, there are so many other outlets to do what I do on BNet and to discuss what I discuss on BNet. I'm sure someone would make a free 'Bungie.net Lite' (as it were), and I wouldn't have to sacrifice anything but the company of those of you foolish enough to pay money to use a game developer's on-site forums.

They gain feedback on whatever we are discussing, if they didn't gain anything they would have removed the forums.

Everything is made for a reason
If your logic was true then we wouldn't have The Flood.

Based on your post, I have decided that there should be a charge for use of the Flood. That would clean this site up immediately.

It would clean out this site immediately. Haven't you been reading the posts in this thread?

Probably, if it was a one time fee. People would waste money on alt accounts and it would be a much cleaner experience then it is currently.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

Just to post on the forums? No.
If there was bonus stuff? Maybe.
It also would matter how much it would cost.

  • 12.05.2011 4:31 AM PDT

We're concerned

Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

Hell no. I could just as easily go to another site if I wanted to discuss stuff.

STOP ASSAULT 2012

Who is Assault? Assault is a mod in the Bungie.net brony group. And what started out with good intentions, viciously spiraled down into a power hungry tyrant locking thread after thread after thread to quell all opposition to his tyrannical rule. Did I mention he is a tyrant?

To donate to the STOP ASSAULT 2012 movement, message me with your credit card info, full name, social security, full adress, and mothers maiden name.

If its a nominal yearly fee, then why the hell not? 10 bucks a year is well worth the fun I get out of bnet.

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

Nope. I'd be outta here. Why would I pay $10-$20 just to hang around some forums, something I can do for free pretty much anywhere else?

No.
I pay (more than) enough for 360's and XBL for playing. To come here and discuss and commiserate, no.

If it was a private groups private site, then yeah.

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

Shouldn't we be getting paid to stay? I want my 1c/post.
Actually, that makes sense....
Actually, no it doesn't. Bungie doesn't gain anything from our horrible, horrible posts.
I'm pretty sure we are all dumber for having read them.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

As you waste your breath complaining about life, Someone out there is breathing their last. Appreciate what you have.

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.

If you're asking if I would pay for forum access then no. If my purchase (or subscription) actually had value outside the website then I would definitely consider it.


This. Maybe a discount on the Bungie Store, other such useful things.

  • 12.05.2011 6:01 AM PDT

No.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I highly doubt I would.

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

If I had to pay for Bungie.net, I would want some extra features like a custom avatar, signature at the bottom of my posts, a feature like render minutes, extra features for groups.

  • 12.05.2011 7:32 AM PDT

I do think there should be features that can be purchased though.

"That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.

Now try how and why."

It would kill the community.

Killing the community would make Bungie dead to me.

Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

Yes, yes I would. It would be a privilege being the only person on Bungie net.
