Unnecessary space? *looks behind computer screen* I don't know, but Bungie.net seems to be lacking depth more-so.

I propose a 3D B.net!

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.

I wish bungie kept updating the Halo stats. I dislike 343i website. Its hard to navigate and the forums suck. They don't even have Halo 3 stats. Bungie.net is just better.

Why do people constantly suggest this like it effects them somehow? (Is it 'affect' or 'effect'? Can never remember...)

No, I'm straight though. If I were ga.y and making out with other guys then it would be ga.y. But because I'm straight it's not ga.y. Since I'm not doing it for a emotional interest or -blam!- pleasure it's not ga.y.

Only good reason would be if it was causing a load on Bungies servers, which they obviously aren't, so, no reason to remove them. If you are a member of a dead group and wish to not see it on your list, leave.

Just for the sake of simple navigation and ease?

If a group hasn't had activity in say, six months, what is the point of keeping it around making it harder for people to find active, relevant groups?

It's because there isn't however that doesn't mean that it should go completely ignored. Maybe it's just a personal preference but there are some reasons - not really valid.

1. It's an eyesore. If there are "dead groups" around bungie.net, people are clicking through each others profiles or even your own and you constantly see them. There is no reason to keep them there other than history or nostalgic reasons.

2. Finding active groups. With people looking around for the groups that are actually active, have the time you when click into a group to see that all the posts on the first page are archived, then you spend countless times trying to find some sort of activity just to join up.

3. Names. Believe it or not, there are a bunch of groups that are named after something such as Bungie Trademarks, yet there is no discussion going on and the only reason they were created it too just steal the name. They're just sitting on a name like they own it but nothing is going on.

4. I'm not one to speak on the server side of things, but I doubt that this excuse would be far more valid than any of the other ones. We don't know what Bungie servers are capable of. By deleting them, there might not be any noticeable difference.

First we need to established "What is a dead group?" Once we have that we can work from there.

Then they would leave that group if they no longer wanted it attached to their profile.

Additional site functionality would alleviate this problem, but if you're looking for active groups at the moment, why not look in The Classifieds?

The same could be said about any group; first in, best dressed.

I highly doubt there is a problem keeping the number existing groups.

Easy. A dead group is one that has been deleted because the administrator(s) and/or group members no longer place any value in it.

I want to make it clear that I do not like the idea of having substantial content (in this case the group and everything associated with it) that has been created by user(s), deleted just because nobody has been posting it in for a while, for example.

I think that some of the reasons that have been given (not just yours) are extremely unfair to those who have built up a sub-community only to have it deleted for some trivial reason, especially when the reason was not specified anywhere.

Anyone new or old that finds this 'really cool group' and hits the [JOIN] button, only to have wasted 1 of their 25 slots taken into infinity as a dead opportunity.
This potentially could happen repeatedly with newer members and hypothetically use up all their chances at joining a good, active group.

“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

Posted by: CobravertThat's a problem with the join queue thing, rather than the existence of the group. Deleting groups is an incredibly imperfect solution to that.

It's still in our "right" to retain the name of said group even if there's no activity, or minimum. Even then, activity in groups can increase and decrease just like that, and can happen with days, months, years. The fact that the old group exists does not make any harder or easier to find active and relevant groups. There's no correlation.

I've also seen groups with less than ten members still being quite active. But even still, if me and my three friends in a group haven't been active in it for whatever reason, and it were deleted, I'd be hella mad.

Well uh... dead groups take up a whole 10mb of space so uh.... it's a bad thang and slows down the servers.
