I've begun to hope that Bungie's next game will be a Dora the Explorer game so the forums are filled with littles girls and their mothers...

Be kind and courteous and I'm sure things will fall into place easy enough.
Of course and of course.

I'm okay with new members, especially because nothing tickles my fancy like "The majority of Bungie left to join 343!" or "Good job on Halo 4 Bungie!"

Seriously, though, it'll be great. I remember when I was a new member, back in '09... those were the days.

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...
It already is.

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

There could be a rule called no -blam!-gery, which would entail slamming new members when asking introductory questions. Most legit rule to date.

Edit- was not aware that the word I chose was filtered. Sooooo, let's say asshattery.

All that will happen is this; the new Destiny forum and Flood forums go utterly ballistic and us old fuddy-duddies wade in for a bit but also retreat back here or to the Universe.

Happens with every new bungie game. It's a time-honored tradition.


You made my night

This website has only gotten more boring if anything since Bungie "went dark". If you only post on the community forum, I doubt you have much to fear. The Destiny forum and Flood is where they will go.

The bans... the locked threads...

I remember what this forum was like when I first joined.

The regulars treated it like their own exclusive forum, and some still do. It was very intimidating.

  • 11.27.2012 12:30 AM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Fear not, for once things pick up around here, we'll go back to our elitist ways.

It'll be interesting to get some new blood in, but what I am not looking forward to is all the threads that are bound to be made about the exact same thing.
You're in the community forum, that happens all the time anyway. I see what you mean, but getting some new members on the site far out weighs the repeat threads we will see IMO.


QFT

I come on these forums once a week or so, usually to post late in a flame or septagon thread, because the activity's so minimal right now any thread worth posting in is getting posts from everybody. Most other threads end up locked anyway.

New members are needed if Bungie's community is going to evolve beyond the Halo era of 2000-2010's, ready for the next decade. Hopefully Bungie.next is going to be the place to be for gamers of the next console cycle. We're just the veterans and early-birds.

Welcome to the town of "Diligence." I'm Mayor Due.

I'm all for some new members.

Everybody knows whats it's like to be the new kid at school, or the new guy on the job. It sucks. Hopefully everybody treats anyone new like they would want to be treated.

It's nice to hear about a bigger clubhouse as well. I like the optimism about how big their game can potentially be, and what kind of a draw it will be for new users.

Good times ahead!

We should know better, because we are better.

I am looking forward to new members as well. Hopefully the title system isn't removed when Bungie.next comes around.

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

I don't think the influx will be all that big till after the game is released.

If they upset the current balance of these forums I'll make it my personal quest to destroy them.

Oh the fun we shall have!

But...Duards, you think of me as a fart?! AN OLD ONE?! Surely you jest. You must be refering to the inferior '04s lol

Each new member must do the marty dance, then take a shot of pickle juice form ling-ling's jar.


Maybe just the dancing part.

I think the new members will be awesome. We just need to mold their minds to do our bidding..


I shall do thy bidding master!

OT: Does that count me? But aside from that, we should want to keep this forum the same even with the new members, which means brainwashing!!!
