And the reason for trying to join your group...you have many people out there with a link in there signature promising that Bungie will see there ideas...that's how you have over 1000 members in the first place.
On this note I'd like to interject with a post made by the moderator GameJunkieJim:

He may be a little off handed, but he's correct.
You do not own this specific forum space, and cannot take ownership of anyones ideas because they post here. It's illegal, and your terms of use are pretty much worthless. First off, it's not an internationally binding contract.
Secondly, under US copyright law, an item is considered protected under copyright from the moment it's fixed into a medium. If they post their idea here afterwards especially, it requires explicit written permission for anyone to obtain those rights.
Third, you cannot claim for plagiarism. The object, even if it originates on this forum, does not belong to you for the reasons stated above, if it were to work like that, even then you would not be privy to any rights, because the site is hosted on a Bungie Server. Your document implies legal action, and in that case, the name Popular Fusion and all related items belong to Bungie Studios. In other words, the document is worth nothing.
The group has a lot of members, you shouldn't mislead them into thinking you're doing anything official here. Everyone, your ideas are your own. Popular Fusion cannot take them. But you don't have much to worry about. Bungie does not accept direct ideas from fans. Again, it's a legal issue.
m00zor, I think you should go about taking down that phony 'contract' soon, it's not something I think Bungie Brass would like to see on their group.
So they aren't joining to get there ideas heard by bungie but just to discuss them amongst themselves.
Yes...but m00zer promises that all of the "best" ideas will be gathered and placed in one giant E-mail and sent to Bungie...he also thinks that Bungie will listen if they are all compiled together.
He just doesn't seem to understand that BUNGIE DOESN'T TAKE FAN SUBMISSIONS!
But try telling m00zer that...
