Subject: The flood should be a main menu item

RIP Logan ~B.B.

Since Bungie is dark, there is no game info, and the community hasn't changed, the only thing to do around here is hang in the flood. When I visit the site, I immediately hit the drop downs looking for the Flood or private groups. Sometimes, I accidentally miss the the flood and end up in the community forum and it is depressing. The Flood should be more prominently featured since that is the only thing really happening here.

I imagine ending up in the Gallery is arguably a far worse fate than accidentally winding up in the Community Forum...

I know, the flood link is sandwiched right between the gallery and community. A very slight slip of the wrist either way and you end up in an internet black hole. It's dangerous and someone is going to get hurt.

Just my opinion;

The Flood needs to be cleansed in a bath of Holy Fire and Infernal Brimstone.

But that's just my opinion.

Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad.

IMO ;)

Clearly Achronos needs to put in a pop-up that says:Are you SURE you want to go the Community Forum?to prevent future accidents.

Neither of Stevnobi's above statements is true in any way.

And for a minute I thought I felt bad, but it was just gas...

I'm not even sure Achronos exists anymore. He vanished from the internet months ago.

I have The Flood bookmarked anyway. I don't even know what the front page of B.net actually looks like.

I agree. Sometimes the current threads are pretty bland. But you can usually find one or two decent discussion threads.

While we're on the subject, the private groups option should be a little more accessible. Woah...idea. I'll just have a direct link to my private group forums in my sig. Less clicks....moar happy.

Hey, guys, what's going on in this thread?
Someone tell Kivell that he is a lie.

I have been frequenting the Flood because of the darkness as well. I have lost brain cells over it.

Yeah. Its bad reputation is mostly from the sense of humor or the messed up things posted late at night. Not se­xual or anything, just extremely messed up.

PS: Sorry for bypasing the -blam!- filter, but if there was a -blam!- there, it could be interperated too many different ways.

I don't understand the hate for The Flood. You don't like it, don't go there. The only people justified in hating it, and for them, I completely understand why they hate it are the Mods and those few employees that work to maintain that portion of the site (Achronos for example).

In the end, one could argue a lot of Bungie.net's activity is due in part to The Flood. While I don't know any specific numbers, the clearest tell tale sign is the obvious speed to which the forum moves at, especially relative to the speed of the next popular forum, the Community Forum, which moves at an almost painfully slow pace anyway.

Whether or not a fast paced forum is in any way what a forum would want is not really a factor when you just look at the facts and understand that The Flood is where a lot of B.net stuff goes down.

Trust me, as a vet of The Flood, I would love nothing more than to have The Community be more popular, because everyone here rocks a ton, and the discussions are awesome. Sadly enough, that isn't the case, so in the end, The Flood is the premier forum of Bungie dot net.

It's obvious that many people who frequent the Flood have much lower titles than those here, which is due to all the bans that are earned in the Flood. I remember I was once banned because I posted in a thread that was aainst almost all the rules, and my post brought it up to the top the page again.

My point is, just by posting in a thread, you can be banned on the Flood. Not due to any prejudice against the Flood or anyting, just because of many of the topics.

The flood is not so much a forum but a babble board. I go to the flood when I want a headache or nonsensical answers. But its sure one hell of a lot of fun hehe.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

The same threads coming up every week isn't activity.
