6/15/2011 11:39 PM: bobcast [2597260] issued a 3 day ban expiring on 6/18/2011 11:39 PM.
Reason: A Bungie.net Forum Moderator has banned you for violating the code of conduct and/or rules of the forum in the thread below
http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=61704535
Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.
It's a combination of two things.
We've lost a few active community members that contributed to the forum on a regular basis, most of which have either gone offsite or keep themselves to private groups. While some have just moved on completely.
The other factor is that two or three years ago, Play Nice was still in effect(or still had an effect), which meant that bans on The Flood had a two week minimum and were beyond contention. Spam threads were greatly reduced at that time because of this Marshall law. It was clear that certain threads were completely off limits.
Gradually, as enforcement has waned and the rules have loosened, blogs and spam have come back, though certainly not to the same degree as before(especially spam)
Unfortunately, Halo 4 has somewhat taken over Flood discussion as a result of it not being a Bungie game, which has thread to a pointless stream of Halo 4 threads flooding the forum.
I was absent for a few months here and there though, so that might not be absolutely everything, but I think it explains the current zeitgeist, as compared to what you saw 2-3 years ago.
