I take it you're here for a reason?

Don't feel like you're part of some exclusive club or something. Most groups on this site are dead or going dead so it's really not worth the effort.

I try and join a group and I PM the group leader and they say they are going to accept me and they don't. I am afraid to really join any group that requires memebership because I don't want to lose another group slot. Once I press join, it is over.

Does anyone else feel this way?


It keeps me up at night. I've battled through some pretty intense PTSD involving Group Joining Queue Anxiety or GJQA.

It has been a long battle for me. At first I was scared and didn't know who I could talk to about GJQA. I ended up turning to drugs and alcohol.

Before I knew it I was blowing entire pay checks on my substance abuses trying to cope with GJQA. While I was intoxicated I ended up spending even more money gambling and soliciting women. I quickly found myself deep in debt.

I finally hit rock bottom.

Butane, Obi, TriGuy, Tuffjuice, EaglesofDC, and skittles held an intervention. They got me the help I needed. I saw a therapist and was put on an SSRI.

I overcame my GJQA.

You can too.

Losing a slot means I am limited for future opportunities and have to sacrifice my Bungie,net experience.
Losing a bit of your bungie.net experience must really suck for you.

They should add a feature to allow you to remove yourself from a membership que, though.

Or at least have a timer on it or something.

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

2 groups I have been invited 2 recently that require approval have not approved me even though I was invited. I am worried because I don't want to be stuck in a queue.

I guess I could PM an admin if I don't get or get rejected from the group in soon.

There needs to be an approval timer, this is really stupid.

For Carnage Apply Within

They think that they have pacified Ireland. They think that they have purchased half of us and intimidated the other half. They think that they have foreseen everything, think that they have provided against everything; but the fools, the fools, the fools! — they have left us our Fenian dead, and while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace

Ken, I understand this is an annoyance; but what is with your wording, man? It is really not as urgent as you're implying it is.

I wonder if HFCS lets members forever be trapped in the queue as punishment for attempting to crash the invitation only party that is.

I have been hoping that the new site update includes a Private Groups confirmation list that shows, along side groups you are in, groups that are pending.
I doubt it, they wouldn't be able to add more members such as ninjas ect otherwise. You can only view the oldest 5 requests at one time I think.

Stosh or someon e said once that they have a list of who's tried to join apparently.

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!"

Bnet really isn't your personal blog. Now, if you'd like to take this time and use this thread as a avenue to bring about a system to cancel the process of joining a group, either through a user button or time limit, that would be a different story.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I hardly visit my groups, but yeah, eventually I'll get that one Bungie.me achievement if I can.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Nope.

Then again, I can not fathom how anyone can be really involved in more than a couple groups to begin with. There are not that many groups that are active enough to warrant any time invested in them.
Being part of a group just to have your name on the roster is pointless. It's not a resume.

Yeah, I do. I really wish that there was some way to fix this problem, but until there is one, there's nothing that we can really do about it.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Haha, I love your input on this thread. But Bobcast's most recent personal account suggest otherwise!

He may need help!

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I only frequent TFS nowadays, although I'll drop by other groups every once in a while and see what's going on and post a bit.
