I have been gaming since the 80's and Destiny is my first online multiplayer game. I played all the Halo titles, but just the campaign or multiplayer at a friends house. I always ran rpgs solo. I was pretty shocked to see the amount of anger and frustration completely related to a video game. And on top of that the amount of negative discourse directed at seemingly honest questions. This led me to believe the average age on these forums is 13-17. From what I gathered, you say these forums used to be a quite different place. I thought to myself more than once what the heck is the point of this place? It is good to see individuals such as yourself that can at least remember better times. Maybe it will get better again over time.

There's a few unofficial polls on the forum for age. Majority are in that age brscket for one. Another poll showed 18 to 24 being higher. There are a lot of good people even young (we have a 14yr old friend who may as well be 26 too). The problem is the people who abuse and bully have no consequences. You can see the way I reply to some of them in this thread they are so used to posting abuse and running yet are not used to actually having it done back at them in the same manner. If we had moderation again like the old forums and even had the forum ranking system again, We would see such an improvement
