Multi-platform forums and Bungie.next
An example of a [b]really bad[/b] forum for a multi-platform game is the Bethesda forum. I pray that Bungie.next doesn't have a similar layout/structure because Bethesda forums are a hell to navigate and post in.
Firstly you have a sub-division for each franchise. Followed by a division into each game and topic on that franchise. Each game is then divided up into tech support, cheats, bug report etc. for [b]each console[/b].
As you'd expect this horrible layout kills any sort of big community feel because people that are regulars in diffrent sections don't interact despite their sections not being that different. (Just different console.)
At least in the "glory" days all the people talking about Halo stayed in the same forum. I'd hope not to see horrible divisions like over at Bethsoft.

Something taken for granted a lot here at Bnet is the general friendliness of the UI. There is definitely going to be some UI changes with Bungie.next and I guarantee Bungie has thought about the multi-platform situation already. The point I am making here is: We may be discussing something that Bungie has already solved in their evidently brilliant minds; Bungie just can't tell us about the solution and spoil a part of B.next.
