Urk still works for Bungie, and is still the Community Manager. But DeeJ is the assistant community manager and has taken the helm of community-relations/activities.
Aerospace is a sub-division of Bungie that publishes indie developers for Mobile/Social Platforms. Their only game they've published (Crimson: Steam Pirates) is a turn based strategy game with steam-punk pirates (from what I've heard). It's for the iPad and has gotten pretty good reviews.
A Mail Sack is a group of questions asked by the community in the "Question Thread" that DeeJ puts up every Monday for a limited period of time (usually about noon Pacific Time to midnight-ish), and is then published every Friday. In addition, whenever a new Mail Sack is published, a "challenge" is issued to its readers to answer a bit of trivia related to a question therein, draw a pretty picture with a certain theme, etc.* (but those are usually won on the first or second page so you have to be quick).
Also, not sure if you skipped over it, but DeeJ and Bungie are now doing things called "Ride Alongs" where they pick a (usually fairly popular) group on Bungie.net (Mythic Members, MLP Fanclub, Regulars, WorkPLace, etc.) to play with Bungie Members.
Also, Breaking In, a series of interviews with Bungie employees about how they got into the industry with additional tips on how to do so, is back and just as good as before. That is published at will I believe; it doesn't have a traditional schedule.
Oh sweet, thanks a ton this was very helpful. I'm going to check out Crimson in a little bit. And Mailsack sounds interesting, I like that idea. And hmmm Breaking In and Ride Along seem really similar to some things they used to do in Halo 3, just with a different name. I can't remember what they used to call them, but its nice to see they still do that sort of thing. I always found those entertaining.
