The name 'Chapters' was/is one of those little things that made/make the 7th Column so special. Without it, this community is ''just another one''. by removing/changing these little things they might ''hurt'' the community.. now hopefully they noticed this.

Amen. The name 'Chapters' was different, like opening a new book. It's special, and I've gotten attached to the name after only around 4 months. Please, retain the old name!

Oh please. You guys complain about anything. "Groups" is a generic name used for talking about any subsite. One subsite type is a chapter as you know it. There will be others (can you say "Halo 2 Clan"). We needed a generic term to use across the entire site.

Groups was chosen. When talking about the entire thing, use the phrase "Group System". But if you're just talking about the 7th Column, well, you only care about the chapters making up the 7th Column.

I cannot believe I'm defending a freaking word choice to you people. Deal with it.

And you can't argue with that (unless you're a total idiot). They're not saying you can't call them chapters.

People are still going to -blam!- about it for some reason.

the only thing im gonna -blam!- about is how the chapters (I refuse to use the term group but if bungie uses it, then so be it) now look like a conformist committe came through and changed everything, I used to like it the old way you know, where the groups actually used to look GOOD and everything was simple! Now I've been around the column for a long time, 2 years in fact, but I really am starting to lose faith in the bungie online team to tell the truth. Maybe you guys are working on Halo 2, just a tad bit TOO HARD...

If at least the themes can be retained, I will be gracious for that...

Thank you
