Does Bungie realize what's happening to their forums?
As a Bungie fan I realize that Bungie does indeed care what their fans think. I was wondering, do they realize what is happening in their own backyard? In relation to Jay132's post [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=455872] here [/url] I'd have to say they don't really know what to do. I also had a really great conversation with Obbi last night about this. He's seen this happen before, apprently it happens to all game forums before a big release. So maybe we should all just hunker down and hope for the best. I don't know if it's because of the mods being overwhelmed with the stupidity from the flood of newcomers (due to all of this ilb.com crap) or if people are just getting bored. But something needs to happen. I for one will not give up on these forums, and I certainly hope that others stay here as well. DONT LOSE HOPE BUNIGE FAITHFUL!

Based on Achronos' response and statement in [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=451405]this post[/url], I would imagine that a majority (if not all) of Bungie is aware of the current danger. I can't think that they are pleased with the possbility of alienating and/or losing some of their most devoted fans due to the silly childish "actors" in the forums. I suspect (though it is only specualtion) that the upcoming "cool tools for Mods" and the continued attention of the Mod Team are shortly going to result in much less of a "wild west" forum experience. (if not "wild-west", how about the local middle-school chess club, after you give them crystal meth.... and guns!) I'm not switching topics, but I thought that the recent Red-v-Blue short was almost pulled from the pages of b.net itself! If you're in the mood to chuckle at some satire, it's on their homepage now.
