Subject: Change in Culture

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

As time passes on this site and the community, the culture changes. With each new wave of people that come here from game release to game release, this place becomes a bit different. People come here and bring their ways with them. The "Dragons" is a little forced but it is an example of all this haha. Do you guys feel open to the new people and a cultural change around here that will come with next year's release?

Change is cool, I guess.

It's inevitable. As culture in general changes, it's only natural that some aspects of the culture here change.

But still, The Community still has deep roots in the culture tree that is, 'Bungie Culture'.

Of course. I just hope it isn't for the worse. I'm definitely not against new members because I honestly think this place needs it sooner than later. I just hope they don't make things lame around here.

It wont. Well, it hasn't really happened before. It's people like us who have been around for awhile who have to teach the new people the culture and keep it flowing. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's exciting!

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

Every time we get a batch of new people each of them brings something to the site. Most of the time the something is positive, so yes, I look forward to the next batch of people and what they bring to the site.

Even though, I have to admit that I've grown kind of fond of the darkness.

Nope.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Bungie.net is the same -blam!- on a different day.

New culture on here is refreshing. I mean, nowadays that new culture is largely a copy-cat generation trying to emulate the older generation so that they can fit in. The main reason for this, I think, is that with the "Darkness" (I wish I had another word for it, that one is so melodramatic) upon us, it's much harder for new members and new generations to create an identity. Mainly because people join with such infrequence that they can't really create a "generation" as it were. There's not enough of them coming in at one time to crea---

Y'know, that's actually a bunch of bull-blam!-. I have no idea what I'm even saying.

How do you say the new culture is better, if you just said it's just copycatting past 'generations'?

I'd say Culture is good. New culture is interesting.

Change is good often enough. But not at the cost of what made the community a community before the change.

Also... a 'little' forced? More like pushed down our throats despite it never being funny.

Except it isn't bull-blam!-. It's just like you said. New members are copycatting past generations, now more than ever. There's really no concrete reason for them to be here so they try to emulate what's past in an attempt to fit in and justify them being here.

To be honest I figured I was being too melodramatic for my own good and figured nobody'd agree with me. Yayforalteringyourideastofitthoseyouperceivetobeofthemasses.. .

“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.”

The Black Chapter!

The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Forum to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or From Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Communities. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Threads and Memes and Humour as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Forum Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to a Community That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

Hyperbole isn't as big as it used to be around these parts. That's okay though, you still see the old Bungie humor here and there.
