Hey lads and lassies!

I didnt see an intro thread so I just made one. so i made this account 2 months ago but now im actually gonna start posting ( summer! )ive been a member of some other forums for quite a while now and discoverd this site two months back , so far it looks pretty entertaining.

Ive only beeen on 2 forums so what can I expect from this sight? Also I got invited to a "group" and joined but what exactly do "groups" do , how many are there? i noticed it was just look another forum.

Flood forum is that way ------->

Sorry if that was blunt and rude, especially for your first post and being the first reply! And as a rule, you always want to keep fresh on the rules and guidelines of this place, because unlike most other forums this place maintains a level of integrity and conduct. My suggestion is to participate in all forums, as there is in-fact no 'better forum', it's just the members that occupy each discussion that is being had, but albeit the 'Flood' definitely has it's share of unruly individuals, but please don't allow that to hinder your interests as we do have in-depth discussion sometimes. So, let your mind run free, and hold nothing back (within guidelines) as it will surely add to the overall experience to this place. And sorry if that was a -blam- way to start out!

Your fellow Bungie fan. (:

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

Because their dum. I don't want to know someone based off of what they say about themselves, but what they post about others. Plus, we have way to many members here on bungie.net for one of those.

There's a fair ammount of private groups, any member can create one (including yourself). Its just really a private forum, moderated by group members, where you can talk about stuff with people with the same interests.

Expect alot of private messages from people asking you to join theirs!

Key

There's (potentially)infinite groups. Find one that fits your interests. There's groups based on a wide variety of topics and interests, as well as off-topic groups for people who just want to discuss whatever they want away from the chaos that is The Flood.

What can you expect from this site? At the moment, as far as news from Bungie goes, not a whole lot I'm afraid. They're currently "dark", meaning they aren't releasing any information on their new project/game whatsoever until we're told otherwise. Some people think we may get some info around June or July, but as of right now they're almost as dark as they were when they turned the lights off in September.

As of right now, I'd suggest either hanging around the Community Forum and any private group of your choosing so you can become acquainted with the community and/or the members (being a more personal level than the community as a whole). If you dare, you can venture out into the Flood or, if you're feeling extra ballsy, the Halo Forums. But I wouldn't suggest starting off there. We're still trying to put ken back together.

I guess while I'm here I'll give you a quick run down of the basics so you don't need to make a thread when you're confused about something.

The things over there---> on the home page of the Community Forum are top forum topics. These are the top 10 topics that have been saved by the most people and are listed in order of last post.

Bungie Employees who post on here are (usually) denoted by having gold text and a custom title. One such employee is DeeJ, who is the acting liaison between the community and Bungie, as the Assistant Community Manager. The real Community Manager (username: urk) is taking a leave of absence from his usual position to, I can only guess, work on the other half of his job as a writer for Bungie.

The final employee you should probably know is Achronos. His title is "Bungie.net Overlord" and he can be described pretty much with this moniker. He pretty much runs the day-to-day operations on Bungie.net (in the public eye, anyway), however does report to a few other members of the Bungie.net Webteam. Achronos is also the author of the Forum Rules, which you should give a once-over.


I guess the final bit of info is that the people with orange (salmon-colored) text are Forum Ninjas, or the forum moderators. Having been on other forums I'm sure you're familiar with the concept. They also get custom avatars, so don't strain yourself searching for them in the avatar selection pages.

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.

Well I'l give you a pointer, if you want to be a good member of the community, one that everyone likes; don't be me. I'm a good example of what not to be like. Also, welcome to Bungie :) you'll find it quite nice here, nicer than other slave labor camps.

I suggest spending your time here. Most other forums are unruly, or hardly active (currently). Good luck.

Hi there! be sure to click that homepage link!

Hello and welcome, I've only been here for 2-3 years, but there are many who have been here for perhaps 3-7.

And....be careful with the flood forum.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

On behalf of the Bungie.net community I welcome you, I trust you read the terms of use and thoroughly understand that a sacrifice must be made.
