Subject: The largest problem I see in the community. . .

"Find The Bomb?!
Find The Bomb?!
I'm Looking For The Flag!
What The Heck Is Assualt!?"

Is really that they keep complaining that the community has fault and problems.

In all honesty, this is the internet, it isn't a nice place. But Bungie.net doesn't really seem to have a real problem.

The average user isn't very intelligent in the Flood, that's true. Other than that you can slightly notice those problems that people write walls of text about; surprisingly for how much you can write about them they don't seem to be such huge problems.

The Bungie community seems to be contracting in size, but that isn't surprising with the end of Halo and not having an IP announced (you can give us some randomly clues and three phrases in Latin, the community would jump on that and find what they lead to even if they don't lead to anything). Once the new IP is announced we'll no doubt see that influx of naive folk that come and give us an insurgence of ideals and childlike bliss (before corrupted by the curmudgeony Septagon).

The largest problem I personally see with the community is every part of the site is ostracizing other parts. The flood thinks the Septagon is Elitist, the Septagon thinks the Flood is mindless and full of "trolls" (I will admit what most people call trolling in the Flood is laughable), and group people just say everyone is awful.

If you go to any of these forums though you find one or two jerks who consistently post, but it really isn't that bad. Not one part of the site is that cancerous tumor that needs to be cut off. We're all just our very own mutatious tumors that need to learn to get along.

Oh yeah and mods, they're a-ight.

P.S. get a coup.

Septagoners ARE elitists........ Speaking as a septagon regular. I do look down on the majority of floodians and reach forum users.

Not even gonna lie.

Well the average flood users are pretty over dramatic or dumb, but it isn't really a problem.

Yeah, you can't deny that we are a bunch of elitists. The stereotypes are pretty accurate.

I look down at certain groups more even more-so than the Flood, even though I'm just coming from a ban.

I agree, actually. I suppose I'm more of a passive elitist, if anything.

Which is stupid, because every forum has their stupid members. There are very intelligent people that hang out in the Flood, they're just drowned out by the idiots there. There are idiots here in the Septagon, and they're overshadowed by the more intelligent members here.

The flood thinks the Septagon is Elitist, the Septagon thinks the Flood is mindless and full of "trolls" (I will admit what most people call trolling in the Flood is laughable), and group people just say everyone is awful.

You must remember back to the days of 05 and 06 where the flood was a joyous place, like a wonderland. Full of Unicorns, Rainbows, and glittering pixie dust which seemed to rain from the sky. If you compare that Flood to the current Flood, oh yes it sucks terrible.

Anyway, you're pretty right and the rest of your post OP.

I still want to know why we can't stop complaining about every single thing on the site, and be glad that we're not all perma banned. Or glad that even exists for us to be on. =\

As to the Elitist part: eh, everyone is probably an elitist in some way or another. I personally try not to be, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't exactly look at the Flood and say "I'm way better than you, you're all losers", but I do think "Ok, some of that was pretty stupid". But remember, we were all young kids once too.

The point that every is saying that there is something amazingly wrong with the forums which is in fact dangerous to the functionality to them. I believe that we really don't, and the only reason people think we do is they continue to argue there is.

And I say the average user isn't the most intelligent, it's kind of just the internet in general. I'm not saying they are idiots, just not Hemmingways, and I'm not saying every single one is. I suppose you'll all quote one sentence of this anyways and hold it against me.


P.S. Simply because I make a thread about how other people make threads about the problems of the community, and I state that I don't think it is that problematic doesn't seem like it makes it irrelevant. Though I suppose all your logic must be infallible, for I am "complaining about complaining."

To summarize: The problem is that people think there are problems. We really don't have any problems.

I'm just going to leave that alone and say...

Merry Christmas!

Like I said, the AVERAGE member in the Flood. I know for a fact that there are incredibly smart people who know what they're talking about when they talk about it in the Flood (depending on the subject, of course, but still). There are highly literate people in the Flood who can write their way out of anything.

At the same time, the vast majority are, in my opinion, blithering nincompoops who never know what their talking about.

The opposite situation is what's here in the Septagon (in my opinion).

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.” -Yoda

The Flood is just too mainstream!

Coming from a person who posts in the Flood, we're not all stupid... We just take advantage of the whole "Off-topic" thing.
