A lot of the Forums are dying, I've noticed. Well maybe that's too harsh a word, but The Septagon once took 4 hours of no one posting. And that was recently (within the past week.)
Now I know that it's school time, and the majority of this site's vistors are too busy with other things. Because during summer, this site was quite the hotspot, and it was sometimes too fast to keep up! But now we're slowing down, and kind of chilling. Posting about the same stuff over and over, but no one cares because at least it's something to talk about.
Is Bungie.net in a rut? Now that I think about it, yes. The main forums I visit are The Flood, Optimatch, New Mombasa, The Septagon, and now Halo 3 Forum again. I can tell you what these Forums are composed of, on a day by day basis:
The Flood:
"I have a problem with this girl that I want to ask out."
"What's your favorite _______?"
Optimatch:
"BRING BACK CLANMATCH AND RUMBLE HARDCORE AND RANK SWAT!!!!!!!!!!"
New Mombasa:
"Is Button glitching cheating?"
Halo 3 Forum:
"Add *insert random idea* to Halo 3!!"
The Septagon: As far as repeat threads go, it's not bad in here. There's just a general lack of activity when there's nothing to discuss.
This is just from one member's perspective. But I feel as though we're simply losing stuff to talk about. How do we fix that? Well frankly, we don't. Everything that we haven't discussed yet is probably not allowed to be discussed anyway, and I have a feeling this isn't going to change until Halo 3 arrives along with the New Hawtness v 2.
But that day seems farther and farther away as one thinks about it. Ah well. I guess all I can say is: Let's just continue hangin' with Bungie.net, and not let this place slow down. I'm sure it'll be more active in the near future.
