If they waited just one more month, it would be 13 full years for me.

Man, it really just kind of hits me going through recorded game history and seeing all old pals that aren't alive anymore. Bittersweet though. Glad I could save some shit to remember them buy.

Jono · January 30, 2021, 01:28:25 AM

Went back to save some old favorites from Halo 3:

My second favourite after Security. A shame how underrated it was.

This is it boys, the life support will be unplugged tomorrow.

Say your goodbyes.
I have a very cringy picture of me browsing b.net back in 2009 or 2010. Might post it here someday when I miss being bullied.

Sep7agon really is a blessing. Is sapphire still up?

most likely

Super Irish · February 08, 2021, 06:18:21 PM

Sapphire is still there.

Just like communism it's had a fair share of Stalinist purges but it's there.

Posts revolve around collecting user data like a shitty facebook site, and blasting them with the usual tankie rhetoric.

I have a few accounts on there to see if it's still running (several backups because every time I talk about the place they ban one).

Like, half the old guard of them are banned and drifting around other offsites.

Just how many offsites cropped up and stayed up after bungie made the switch to destiny?

I dunno man, but over half the new topics are like what-ifs and how many x's d you own.
Seems like a constant ratings check and how buddy-buddy you are with the people who run the place.

I get the feeling that if it weren't originally just an offsite for a spinoff fandom group of a sci-fi game released over a decade ago, it would be a cult lol.

I've found 5 (Sep7 included)

But I'm aware of at least another one that is older than the rest and existed before the destiny emmigrations, and another one that I think is truly dead, during the rocky period of new offsites being built up.

So we got:
Sep7
Bungleboards
Newflood
Sapphire
Several discord of random bungie offtopicer's making their own places (that I count as a single one)

The old place (LudicrousIdea or something, idk)

The dead place (Flood v2 or something, again idk)

It's not a completely unique thing to happen when an official site kills off it's forum (EA/Battlefield did something similar as Sep7 was starting out, and forumers there made an enitre new site based around it.

What is unique is that so many have sprouted from the decision, and how they have lasted. Sure Sapphire, here and New Flood are fairly quiet these days, but that Battlefield offsite has come and gone in the time in between any of these places.
