You know, when I joined back a little after Halo 2 came out, I liked this place, a lot. I would go on all the forums everyday and have fun making friends and stuff like that. I would love to read the gallery comments and everything. But when was the last time that was updated??? Same thing with the Voting booth. The flood is one big hunk of spam now. Many of the other forums are just useless now.
What I am trying to say is that I miss the old forums as well. The old groups were a blast too. Now it's all, "OMQ Lets get more members then Popular Fusion or MBT" Or in those groups who have many members, 3 out of every 10 topics are about getting those members and the rest is spam.
You see, it isn't about having 2000 members because, most likely, 1500 of the members have never posted on those forums. What Bungie.net really needs is it's magic back.
No I am not being stupid and making a joke, I mean magic . I mean those actice fun loving members who don't flame and don't spam. Those people who spend time on their ideas. Hours, days, maybe even weeks on thinking, exploring, and typing about how they figured out something. But what really sickens me is when people come along and flame those great and amazing ideas until their hands hurt. That makes me more mad than anything.
People need to learn respect again on this site. Just because you sitting at a computer somewhere and someone eles is miles away doesn't give you the right to make fun of them. Treat this place as it was real life. And I won't forget about the spammers who really (I am sorry to say this but) do not have a life if they spend the time to do what they do to some of the groups. What is the point? Anyone? What is the point to flame? To make yourself feel better? If that is the case I think you may need to find some help because your self-esteem seems pretty low. And the spammers, please find something better to do with your life. Everyone has potential for something
I apologize for getting slightly off-topic here, but if anyone has seen an episode of futurama where the crew goes onto the internet and they are actually in the internet? Pretend it is that.
Now back on-topic.
I agree with everyone when they say this site needs an update. I do realize that they are currently making one of the biggest and possibly the greatest game ever, but they need to pay attention to their fans (I underlined for importance). They are losing us, fast.
Something I do see the makes me happy about all this is the fact that everyone is like "I hate those mods I wish i could kill (yes I've heard this) them" And now it seems that everyone is teaming up in an effort to save Bungie.net. Every person that has posted here, I thank you. All the mods that posted here I thank you too, because without you guys (Especially Game Junky Jim) there may have never been a topic like this.
I know I may not be the most important person here, nor the oldest, nor the wisest, but I thought that my viewpoint could help everyone out.
I thank everyone who may have spent their time reading this, and I would love to see things done with the website.
Thank you again,
