The darkness has certainly affected us all to an extent. For some, this change has been positive; and for others, negative. For me, this darkness has affected my activity on Bungie.net. Yes, I still log-in everyday while posting here and there, but it's not the same as it used to be. Obviously, discussion has truly diminished due to the apparent lack of topics for us to talk about. The thing that keeps me somewhat sane in these dark times, are definitely my private groups: all great communities that keep me working. Ideally, once this darkness subsides, everything will go 'back to normal'. Ideally, of course.
