Guys, we've been through this before.

First, a song for you to listen to while you read. Now then. I just realized... Bungie.next... we've been through this before. In fact, we've been through EXACTLY this same scenario before. Allow me to explain. You see, years ago we had some forums that everyone has largely forgotten about. We had a Screenshot Forum, a Custom Maps Forum, a Custom Gametypes Forum, and a Custom Films Forum. In these, you would place your Custom Generated Content from Halo 3. You'd make a thread, put your file in there, and essentially advertise your files. But then disaster struck. The forums were removed and replaced with this... hideous thing. It was some sort of filter system! You saw all content available on your screen. Then you could filter by the type (map, screenshot, film, gametype) and by 'tags' people would put on their files. If you sorted by 'most recent' and 'type,' you could essentially just recreate your forum that was taken! Basically you could have the old if you sorted correctly, but you also had a ton of NEW options available to you to make finding interesting content easier. ... This is EXACTLY what we have now I realized minutes ago. Bungie essentially just did exactly what they did to the Files Forums, and applied it to the entire website. Sure we were like 'WTF' for a while, but eventually we all realized that it was for the best. It was not progress for the sake of progress, but progress for the sake of improvement. This might have been before many of your guys' times if you're an ewer member to the site, but hopefully some veterans will now remember and we can all realize... we made it through once, we'll do it again just fine. Discuss thoughts on the matter.

  • I just believe it's a matter of time for everyone to adjust to it. Users may be like "Oh I liked this version of the sit better than that version" or visa versa, but everyone will eventually simmer down and assimilate under the [i]all mighty hypnotoad[/i].
