Heavy weighs the crown, low hangs the head who wears it.

I think it's safe to say most of us are here (as in came here originally) because of the Halo franchise (ok Marathon fans too). Although Bungie is continuing development on new titles, they are not sustaining the Halo series any longer (with all the game related forum traffic now being directed to 343's forums).
Because of this, we can conclude there will be a low frequency of new users to these forums (until Bungie releases another major title). Additionally, existing users inevitably leave the community over time for one reason or another (it could happen to you!).

With the all of this in mind, is the community bound to shrink down to the most dedicated users? Would this be a good thing?

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I'm here because of Bungie. Post invalidated. :D

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

*cough, Myth fans too, one of the reasons I stay here *cough

But yeah I came here for Late Halo 2, Late Halo 3.

This site will skyrocket back when Bungie announces their new IP. Our community is old and even in our darkness we are getting new users.

This community will not wither away, we have too many active and dedicated users for that. There will always be people here.

BUT, people need to be nicer to newer users or our community will really take a hit.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

I have seen you future

While you aren't seeing too many new users now (there are some), you also aren't seeing very many users leaving. It's safe to say that most of the people who are still here are probably going to stay until the new IP is announced.

A very small fraction of my time spent on this site has something to do with games. So even if bungie's next game flopped, I'd still be here.

I've never had a problem with anyone here. With the exception of Achilles successful trolls, of course. Those are always fun. Haha.

Mostly, I'm here because of a private group that plays a bunch of different games together, or talks together about games we play separately (for example, Skyrim) and that'll probably keep me for a while.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

"The pancake, my friend, has officially been flipped."

I originally came for the halo stuff, but I stayed for bungie and because the forum is awesome.
BTW: where can you get information on the new IP?

Find me anywhere with Pogo947

It doesn't matter about Halo. Anyone that is actually a part of the community itself will stay here. to be honest, I could care less about the ones that aren't in the community.

  • 01.05.2012 9:18 AM PDT

Doubt it will, we're all still here!!!

You will be begging for mercy when the site is flooded with new members once again.

True statement!

The lapse in new kids is giving us other folk a chance to get to know one another before the looming wave hits the community and we're inundated with children.


We must become strong.

Bungie will live on, and so will the memories. There's nothing to worry about.

If I had a Rocket Launcher, I'd make somebody pay.

They're not even finished with step 7 yet, so not a chance!
