Subject: Is The News Forum Needed Anymore?

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.

After reading all the exciting new news on the Community forum, I decided to visit a different forum. I look downward to the Gallery to see artwork since I haven't been there for a longtime. But, I saw an old friend. The News Forum. I decided to click the News Forum to see if it has been updated on any stories that have recently been published. It hasn't. The last thread posted was in December of 2011.

So then I thought to myself about this. Why do we even have it? Posting the stories in the Community forum is much better, it gets more publicity, and it brings the community more closer in the community forum. I personally prefer the stories being in the community forum, what about you guys? Should Bungie just kick the News Forum out or not?

Attached discussion threads go into that forum if I am not mistaken.

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

It doesn't help that Bungie is dark as far as news posts. Can expect News discussion when there's no News. Only Olds.

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

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

I think the news will be more useful once the activity of this forum picks up again, especially once there is news that isn't website related (Destiny).

Yeah, I am sure we will see it back in use in due time.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

The News Forum is still somewhat relevant. Not so much now as it used to be, but I think it's a safe bet to assume it'll spring back to life very soon.

I think it's convenient of Bungie to use the Community Forum for news information, as well as a place to post community events. Perhaps the next site update should change the way we view the forums and topic organization.

I agree with you on this, I personally don't see the need for the News Forum. When the update hits, I hope it gets rid of that forum.

Oh hey there

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

YES IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY!

How else will I find old news articles and chuckle at Urk's attempts at humor? Besides, ya know, looking through the news section...

Oh...that little thing? Don't worry your sweet little head, we will need such a thing soon ;) <3

You are right. It isnt really used that often anymore. I dont think that they should be rid of it though. You cannot forget... Bungie can still use that foruum to post news for upcoming projects and games. I believe that it should stay. I still gi back there every once in a while.

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

Positive vibes.

It's still there, is it not?

You know that their new project is not called destiny, right? The truth is thats just a rumer tha got way outta control. Its just a code name like BLAM! when halo c.e. was in the making.

  • 03.06.2012 7:35 PM PDT

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

Just because we're not using it doesn't mean we don't need it there.
Common sense...it's a news forum.

  • 03.06.2012 10:14 PM PDT

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.
~M.D~

I see your point. I agree with it. But it's there for a reason. I'm sure if it really was useless it would've been taken off.

  • 03.06.2012 10:28 PM PDT

I don't see a point in removing it. It would break old threads and links all around the site; plus as soon as Bungie comes out of being dark, then the News Forum can be used again.

  • 03.06.2012 11:10 PM PDT

When Bungie decides to release some info on whatever their doing it will be in that forum; so it is needed for now.

  • 03.07.2012 4:12 AM PDT

Who the hell do you think I am?

Once they start making updates again it will be needed.

  • 03.07.2012 4:31 AM PDT

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

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I'm saying that we just put the News posts here since it gets more views here.

  • 03.07.2012 4:45 AM PDT

Yes. Theres no new articles because there hasn't really been that much news - sure the Mail Sacks could have been posted there but apart from that what news has there been? None apart from the odd thing or two. Once they step into the light i'm sure it'll be buzzing with life again with everyone saying 'first', 'second' and 'third' ect.

Anyways its should be kept, I want the The Voting Booth back!
