Bungie will have a destiny forum so everything will be a ok. They won't come to the flood until destiny has been out for a year. Kinda like reach.

Just an Average Joe...

That's ridiculous.

We were all once newcomers, some of us even divided by large gaps in join dates, but our passion and our reasons for being here have drawn us together. Sure we bicker and get cranky sometimes, but at the end of the day, we're all here for the same reason. And it's important to remember that because in doing so, you can help to generate a welcoming environment for people who probably aren't all that different from you.

I remember being new to this place, and a few people were kind enough to assist or provide direction in an overwhelming mass of activity. I think it's only natural that I should do so as well.

I'm actually looking forward to the arrival of new members.

Right on. And why not? This clubhouse is scaled to host a huge party. The more the merrier, I say. You all have private groups for those quiet moments between smaller clusters of friends. New recruits are the lifeblood of any community.

New members won't be that bad. Once they know what is happening they'll either move on, or become part of the community.

And, how will they learn what is happening? When I was the governor of a website that enabled an intimate clan hub, we put a lot of effort into making newcomers in search of a team feel welcome. One of the biggest problems with Internet Communities is that they are unapproachable. People are intimidated to ask the questions they need answered to get involved, for fear of scorn and mockery. And, the first time a newcomer is slammed for not knowing what the veterans know will likely be the last time they make an effort.

Is Bungie.next to be one of those places? I would challenge each of you to think about what we could do to be a place where gamers are welcomed to have a seat and enjoy the feast. I have some of ideas of my own, but this isn't the time to talk about that...
Make an intro video, IMO.

Have some Bungie artists work together, have the video describe how the site works, what the Flood is and what it's for, what the Community is and what it's for, what the game forums are and what they're for, what the Web Team is and what they do, who you and urk are and what you do, what the Ninjas are and what they do, and a brief explanation of the rules (Things that suck, things that dont suck, etc.). That, plus an overall community attempt to welcome new users, would be a cool way to greet this new influx of members come the launch of the next IP.

It's hardly something to fear. It will rejuvenate Bnet.





It's just going to piss us all off in the process.

Check out this Thread on how to help new members here on Bungie.net

I'm Excited for the new members and I'm sure Bungie is too.

Yes it could and probably will get a bit crazy at times, but I know for myself I will try to make the new feel welcome, safe, and secure. We should all patiently try and answer all questions and we must respect them even if they are new.

We should also help the Forum ninjas as much as we can by making sure we direct people to the right places and Report the things that need to be reported.

Lets show every game community on Earth what the Bungie Community is made of and that we are an awesome place, that cares about each new memeber.

So I encourage everyone to do the same. Though these are only my thoughts.

You should make a forum tutorial to help navigate Bungie.next for members new and old.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

I'm willing to bet that literally half the conversation when Destiny is announced will be people signing in to say "Bungie should never have left Halo!" or drawing comparisons between Halo and Destiny.
The sad part is that is practically guaranteed to happen, but its to be expected.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I'm look forward to the new members. Once all of the derptards leave, there will be more people like us. And tis' the season, the more the merrier, right?

It's going to be funny seeing all of the regular members in the Community Forum, considering it's usually full of veterans.

Its happened before. Won't be a big deal really, and we need new members. That's how sites stay alive.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I can see it now. After the new user creates an account on this foreign site, he/she would be teleported to a secret location that would be impossible to revisit. Bungie.net's Tutorial Island.

I can't wait for the flux of new members. It brings in curious minds that are full of crazy ideas. We just have to lead a good example for them.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

DeeJ is that the weekly challenge? to be nice to the new users? if so do I get a prize for figuring out what the weekly challenge is?

I agree, I want to flash them my Mythic rank up to their noses.

Just kidding!!!

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

Dear God, threads will be impossible to follow again. But honestly, I can not wait. It's going to be fun directing rookies to and fro across the forums. It's going to be like the old days when I was a campus tour guide for my college.

If it wasn't for my excitement for the release of Halo 3 I may not of ever came to the forums, I welcome anyone looking for a kick ass community of fellow gamers.

Lo, and on such a day, as foretold by the Prophets of the Great Frosty Depths, new life shall be breathed back into the husk of the once mighty juggernaut known as Bungie.net. It will be glorious, a most glorious day indeed!

But the scourge of war comes with such change. As fresh members deluge into our newly fertile lands, traitors, trolls, and fools will threaten to rend our reborn forums in twain! IN TWAIN, I SAY! Hope lies on the wisdom of the Mythics, the ferocious justice of the Ninjas, the sweet mirth of our Community Manager, and the brutality and cunning of our Overlord Achronos, the great and powerful! But lo, their bountiful powers, however vast, will not be enough! It is only through the kindness and compassion that dwells in all men's souls that this blight may be defeated, and our civilization, our very lives, will be reborn!

So yeah, I'll be glad to see new members, but there will be just as many trolls as actual members.

No I'm not.

wasn't there the possibility that the current ranking system was going to be taken out in bungie.next? Or have things changed since last time that was brought up?

The sound of iron shocks is stuck in my head, The thunder of the drums dictates
The rhythm of the falls, the number of dead's the rising of the horns, ahead
From the dawn of time to the end of days I will have to run, away
I want to feel the pain and the bitter taste of the blood on my lips, again

It's getting boring around here with the same old people. We need new members to make it interesting again.
