You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Well, it is back to school for me and maybe 75% of the Bnet population. While I am getting myself together to head back to school I came up with this idea to help the Bnet community. Why not start a Big Chapter that just focuses on homework help or just add a forum that is strictly for homework help. I need you guys imput on this idea. If this idea was already suggested, then I'm sorry but I am not an old timer in Bungie.net (If you know what I mean).

That's actually a very thoughtful idea, and as a parent, I give you a big thumbs up on that.

WOW! That's the best idea I've ever heard! Maybe it's like the Flood topic or something! A little Bnet cheatsheet! I praise you BMW!!!!

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

This is a videogame forum. You should *not* come here for homework help O.o

Mabye an older sibling or a parent would be a better person to turn to.

EDIT: Erm, I kinda sounded like an arse. Let me rephrase that. A lot of the help you would get here would probably be people just trying to confuse yyou for kicks. A chapter might work, if it's run well. A main forum? I doubt it. There used to be a chapter for help, I'm not sure what happened to it though. But, in my opinion, there are much better places to go for help with school. A forum should be a last resort.

You can, if you want to, start a Chapter devoted to homework and whatnot, but I doubt that a "homework help" forum will be made. Why? Because this is a game developer's website - it doesn't really have anything to do with Bungie.

  • 08.21.2006 6:43 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

And how much actual help do you think would go on in a homework forum? I'm guessing very little.

There are homework chapters, although I can't recall their names at the moment.

Have you ever seen the Maths group? It's exceptional!

Still, there are some very intelligent users on this site, and I suppose a lot would be willing to help those who are stuck!

Please, do you know how many Video game sites offer homework help?

I really hate this but, uh, it's already been done. I made a group about school stuff. You can search for it if you want in my groups. It hit rock bottom when summer came though. I'm looking into maybe reviving it...

Maybe Bnet can set up a forum for Homework help. That will keep the members on Bnet.

You didn't know? The Junkie has two children (both girls), methinks.

We have a group set up for Homework. Look a few posts above this one (as I am lazy right now).

For Carnage, Apply Within.

I have returned from the Untamed Lands. MOAP is dead.

I'm kinda against this idea. Your computer is the last place you want to go when you need help on some of your homework. Aside from projects that is. People tend to forget about their issues and just go online and mess around. And with the forums so close to the help group, I'm sure a lot of people will forget or lose focus when on their computer.

If you really need help, I suggest asking your teacher or having a friend help you out. Most teachers usually set up an afternoon study room. Or if they don't, then some give up their lunch breaks so they can help tutor students. Raising your hand doesn't hurt either. Sure you may get laughed at and picked on and sometimes get your gym shorts pulled down so everyone can see your brown hershey stains on your whitey tighties (damn you charles bauman!) but it's worth it. You'd much rather get laughed at because you don't understand the material then get laughed at because you have to retake the course.

It died because it was summer. It's coming back, I promise!

There are cons to this idea and like what EL said, there are many temptations for members to lose focus on doing their work. I don't really blame him, it is slightly unhelpful to have an academic forum on a site where you can find the latest cheat codes for Halo. Heck, let the flammers and spammers become another separate con for the idea because they can turn the homework help forum into another garbage forum. Then yet again, having a space strictly for academic help can proabably bring more ideas to the table and perhaps more opportunities for the members.

Uh, I believe there was one. It was started by Excalibur, and I was kind of the co-founder or at least a helper.. The Seven7h School. We dropped it after advertising and getting very few members.

It's been done, but if people would like to get one going again, by all means, gopher it.

Edit: Oh, my bad! Excalibur is 2 posts above this one.. :) Let's get it going again then?
