Before you all scramble to hit that down vote on what I'm about to say, please hear me out. This is actually NOT Bungie's fault. If any of those who are no longer here from the Purges, it is ultimately their own fault/decision to be gone. If they really cared or wanted to be here, they would have taken the few minutes to download the game demo, walked to the Farm, uninstalled the demo and they would still be here. It really would have taken very little effort or time, but they decided not to. Let that sink in. Maybe it was for the better for those people to no longer be here for a variety of reasons. We can not decide for them. Even if Bungie did remove the restrictions, who is to say that anyone who is no longer here would return? It was never about #Offtopic. It was about getting rid of the intentional, irrational, spiteful trolls in the Destiny forums. And it is Bungie's prerogative to make this place better without such individuals. Remember, we're ALL guests here.

The purge was bad for OffTopic as it got rid of a lot of long time users. But it was good for the Destiny forums - it weeded out all the trolls spamming hate posts every day that had never actually played the game. OffTopic was unfortunate collateral damage. There’s no way Bungie are going to reverse that decision - even if they did it‘s unlikely it would bring old users back. They’ve no doubt moved on.

The purge was a good thing. It got rid of a lot of the trolling in the main forum. Bungie has no reason to reverse it. And if the people who got purged really wanted to come back they would just play Destiny 2 for 5 minutes.

Yes!!!

Can I get the story? Don’t think i was here for that.

Nah I'm glad it happened.

Pretty sure I muted that guy for the pron spams but yes.
