There isn't enough Elitism in the community
I've found recently that; as I suppose the title would suggest, there is a lack of contempt for our fellow members - particularly contempt that in my opinion should be aimed towards those who don't have blue title bars, or indeed any well aged and matured titled bars. I've been here for more than 7 years and in all my time i've never seen such a lack of apparent loathing and disdain for the population of Bungie regulars by those, who like me should know better.
We should know better, because we are better. I'm quite frankly tired of this seemingly self replicating new found appreciation for those, who are quite frankly beneath us. It, to me is quite unfathomable that in this day and age we post in a forum with such tolerance and understanding. There are safe havens, only a few in number I might add that may appreciate this view - though it is my belief that the generation to which i belong, the generation that made Bnet what it is, is drifting into the abyss.
Who among you is capable of stepping up to the plate? Who among you has the know how to stop this most precious of cultures from disappearing entirely from our beloved forums. If we lose this, we lose our identity. Our community, to dust.

I like that no one noticed I said [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] goldhawk we post in a forum with such tolerance and understanding. [/quote] I actually meant that, it's actually good to see this place develop and 'grow up', for a change. Of course this thread is a parody and of course none of you should take it remotely seriously - it's here for light comedic effect. If i got a few smirks, or a little chuckle my work is done. I'll be back to post a new thread in another 2 years.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The EAKLE Bungie could solve the problem by finally giving us the ability to ban lower-ranked members. [/quote]That would certainly improve the quality of discussions.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JBSpudster There is unrest in the forums, there is trouble with the fans For the Members want attention, and the Mythics ignore their plans The trouble with the Mythics, and they're quite convinced they're right They say Members are too childish, posting spam all day and night But the Members can't help their failings, they've not seen the ebb and flow And they wonder why the Mythics get upset with their callow There is trouble in the forums; all common sense is dead As everyone screams, 'Elitists!', and the Mods just shake their heads So the Mythics formed a union; self entitled they remained 'The Members are just too naive, we will make them feel ashamed!' Now there's no more rouge oppression; the darkness has bored most jerks And the fans are all kept equal, by Achronos, DeeJ, and Urk[/quote]Post of the year and it's only January 3rd. It can only go downhill from here.

[quote]X-post from another thread, but still relevant[/quote]You may often wonder why those who frequent these forums place value on attributes such as title bars or join dates: they make you better. It's a fact that age often brings maturity, and dare I say it, it's not unlike the progression of one's time spent on the internet. Are we to assume that there are no exceptions to this truth? Absolutely not; said assumption would be ridiculous. Much like real life, there are indeed outliers that refuse to evolve, refuse to grow up. However, even with a vocal minority holding other forum veterans back, those with experience still shine through. Not acknowledging this simple fact of life is a rebellious trait found often among youth and adolescence, oft times accompanied by an immature resistance to authority. The hope of many older members is that those who hold this unprovoked resentment may someday mature and become enlightened like us. Welcome the maturity I speak of, younger members. I proudly guarantee that you will find the experience these forums offer becomes exponentially more enjoyable should you accept this fact: like life, age brings wisdom on Bungie.net. In regard to the days of my own adolescence on this site, I cannot even consider the difference it would have made had I taken my own advice. The elder members of these message boards should be cherished. The flag the elder member is flying, whether it be mythic, '04, doesn't matter: their words brings wisdom. Abandon resistance and let your sensibilities evolve, younger ones; come, join us and discover life on the other side of B.net, the better side.

It's good to see people try.

Elitism? As in Forum titles?

You're obviously pretty bored.[/quote]Nah, the community's humour is just incredibly lame and unfunny.[/quote]That's what I've come to accept. Partly why I guess a lot of the members refuse to be my friend, because their humor is rather dry and mundane. But maybe it's cuz I'm too hot for them. I got a nice booty you know.

You guys should get on my Intrepid status. If I wasn't such an idiot when I first arrived here I would be sitting pretty as a legendary member

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] EAGLES5 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] edableshoe I mean, look dude. I get that you're trying to be funny, but why isn't this guy getting a ban? This sort of thread has been made a thousand times before, with the same exact kind of humor, and always by a Mythic member. But why is it that when some silly troll makes a thread complaining about Mythic members, they get reprimanded/banned, and these repeat threads are created almost monthly like some sort of Bungie Community menstrual cycle? I'm bored of this. C'mon Mythix, step up yo game.[/quote] Reported for poor sense of humor.[/quote]It was funny maybe the first time this thread was created.....but hasn't been funny ever since.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x I found this thread almost mildly interesting, and I realized that you were attempting to be humorous. Because this is about the maximum level of wit one can expect from a Mythic Member, I say good job.[/quote] I love you.
