Why isn't there an introduction forum?

Man of God. Fan of Bungie. Eater of many Jr. Bacon cheeseburgers.

Not much of a need for one really.

- Dawes, A little bit of everything

Well, we had one, and the spartain ken 15 made another one, but no one really took to them.

My memory is horrible, but I faintly remember something about them getting locked. If not for that reason, I'm sure it's because no one's ever made a successful enough "introduction thread" to stay.

When you read it, find a quiet place to calm your thoughts. That legen....wait for it....dary thread is quite a mouthful.

Remember all
The sadness and frustration
And let it go

Someone should make a new one.

It's already quite interesting after reading the first few pages.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

We don't really need one.

All an introduction thread, or fourm, does is get rid of the nervousness from posting here for the first time. It also is the place where people go to try and influence new members with first impressions on the community as a whole instead of letting them come to their own conclusions.

8 years ago, woot woot....

I, for one, call for a new one!

  • 06.28.2012 1:04 PM PDT

Perhaps it could be made so you may only post once. It would be very easy to get off-topic.

Shut the hell up, Halo is my world

Because nobody who posts on this site is interesting enough for an introduction.

Key

Because introducing yourself by establishing your own tone and writing style and opinions and ideas in the posts you write and the threads you make is a much better way of introducing oneself than "Hi I'm Tanner. I'm 14 years old, I like Halo and Call of Duty. I've been playing Bungie games since pathways into darkness and my k/d is a 53."

  • 06.29.2012 7:23 AM PDT

Do we need one?

  • 06.29.2012 7:31 AM PDT

Something about 100+ ego-maniacs posting paragraphs about themselves sounds so uncool. Let's face it, not many people read about each other as much as they post about themselves. Not to mention the fact that we really don't need to know everything about you.

Jack of all trades, master of none.

Newfgts? Looking at stickies?

lolno.

Everyone worth introducing already knows each other. :)

I agree. It should be someone who most people know though so people may actually use it..

The End

‘The conscious is cancerous if allowed to linger’

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."

I suggested a while ago that The Classifieds could be renamed the Bungie Network forum and given a dual purpose, as an Introduction forum. This could increase the potential audience of The Classifieds and also help new members feel welcome and find a home in the community.

Check out my Soundcloud account to hear some of my music.
Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

I think an "Introduce yourself" thread shatters the images of people I made in my head. We all imagine what every user looks like and how old they are and all that jazz. Then they go and spoil it by posting the real details that aren't remotely like the stats I had in my head.
