I'm about to push some significant updates to thread view. Refresh your page if you're experiencing broken elements before reporting an error.

EDIT: Here's some changes you should be aware of.

1. Trust rating is located inside the signature.
2. Signature and action buttons have moved to reflect B.old more closely.
3. XBL, PSN, and Steam ID fields added to signature.
4. Trust title is removed on mobile to help keep lines from breaking.
5. For mods, the delete and split tools are inside the signature to keep the row of buttons from becoming ridiculous.

Steam won't even open on my computer. I have to wait until I put my new one together before I can play games through it again.

Do they even know about the free cupcakes you get for signing up?

I ate them.

I ate them all and I'm not sorry.

IMPACT BOLD IS HARD TO READ

Fuck... My eyes hurt just looking at that.

So it's like Aids then. Gotcha.

It's a pretty apt comparison come Anarchy weekend.

...you'll see...

You got it.

Problem is everyone views this site as stupid, and destined to fail.

He just need new members, if we could do that then we'd have the power to recruit from bnet, and ultimately, influence Bungie's community management

I don't blame them that much. The first few failed spectacularly and the event was well publicized on OffTopic. I'm hoping this stigma will eventually go away after a few months.

How long did the first offsite last, anyway?

Someone should just type up a generic, yet pleasant invitation that anyone can use to advertise. That'd be so much simpler.

I've spent time exploring the issue now:

It would seem that Bungie have idiotically decided to stuff group chat into PMs, so now notifications are impossible to ignore due to the sheer volume of the spam.

Hopefully this will cause an influx of users to us.

Should I recruit desticles whilst it's happening?

Do it.

Even stupid arguments about Religion have to go in the Serious forum.

Update: Ok, they should be working correctly now. It was a CSS edit, so make sure you refresh your page so you're not loading a cached version of the file.

Since we have the Updated Topics, I've also cut the time that they stay on the screen in half and upped the refresh rate for checking for new notifications.

You can't click any of the options at the top while they are there though. And the little X that lets you close them all is often pushed way down below the screen.
On computer it's not that bad. On phone it blocks the entire screen until you use your jackal precision to press the tiny x's on every message.

I know. I'll look into making them so you can click on the topmenu while they're up, but as a quick fix before that happens, you can just refresh the page or click the logo to make them disappear.

To make sure none of the old notifications pop up, hover over your name in the top menu and select Updated Topics. Then you can mark all of those topics as read.

He's also behind the DDoS attacks that occurred when the site was trying to start up.

And yes, he is that stupid. Maybe he doesn't PM you much, but it's far too obvious that he's mentally ill, trolling or not.

He might claim to be behind them, but it's way more likely that Fatcow just decided to boot us out under the guise of a DDoS attack. Even if they didn't, this guy—from his posts and PMs that I've seen—doesn't seem like he'd be able to set up an attack of that magnitude. Sounds to me like he's riding the wave of someone elses work.

It's probably a good idea to keep talk of Rose to PMs (and the super secret mod forum for the staff). Maybe he'll lose interest.

Fuck infection games. Where's the CTF?

There was some thread about how the OP didn't understand why transgendered people were offended by "tranny."

I replied with "Nigger." and was instantly banned.
