If Bungie decided that they wanted to charge you a small fee to be a member of Bnet, would you? By small fee I am talking $10-$20 for a year of membership.
Are you kidding? No way! My main forum would be NeoGAF immediately.

yolo? -blam!- that! YOLTOSS!! You Only Live Twice or Some -blam!-

Well, to place a serious answer here:

I would hope that by purchasing Halo CE,2,3,ODST, and Reach that any type of fee would be included with the purchase of said games. Some of you have certainly bought more than just Halo games, so I would think that you would feel the same. So yes people, $60 was a reasonable price for ODST(if you twist some facts in your head to justify it). It's a service that comes with the purchase of the game, which should make you enjoy the experience better.

Now if you have not purchased a Bungie developed game, then IDK why the hell you're here anyway.

It would kill the community.

Or strengthen it. Think about it. Would pay pay loads of money just to waste it on trolling with alt accounts? People would actually value their account more. With less people, moderating could be tighter and Bungie could possibly add more forum features that make it seem like we're in the 21st century.

This is the future of bnet. Obviously.

Just for the ability to post on the forums? No. If it was something like Bungie Pro that included other benefits, then I'd probably buy it.

$10 a year, hmmm not sure, I probably get $10 worth of entertainment a year here but I'm not sure if I could actually be bothered putting my details in.

Mythic members are like people with tattoos. Just as soon as you become a Mythic member, you can kick anyone's ass. It really works.

I think you have my answer.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

No.

Why do we have to pay? Just look at facebook, they're making millions of dollars from the website, yet they didn't charge us a single cent!

If, when I first joined this site, I saw that I had to pay to post on a forum I would have made a weird face at the computer and never joined.

Now that I have been here for a little while I might pay if there was no better free alternative (not $10, but maybe a couple dollars).

Yeah, I agree with this. Paying just for posting purposes wouldn't really be reasonable.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Completely dependent on the package the community would be provided with. If it was simply for the ability to post on the forums, I'd get off this site in the blink of an eye.

I'm an Anarchist. I don't need a government to be a good person, but I'm glad it's here because some of you clearly do.

I see what's going on here. You have some inside information that Microsoft will be partnering up with the Bungie web team, don't you?

Assuming I'd be paying for exactly the same content as we currently get, no. If we were to get substantiated new content, I probably would pay.

Not unless they included benefits. I support Bungie, but I wouldn't if they charged for something like that.
