>implying that this one is any better
Not really. This is pretty much a reskinned #Offtopic with less users and stricter moderation.
I'll give this forum the fact that a slightly higher ratio of users aren't mind-numbingly boring.
B.old sucked some serious balls as well. Sure, its layout looked nice, but the moderation was Fascist. Seems like a lot of the people who remembered it fondly are blinded by nostalgia.
Missing its real soul though. What made The Flood bearable were the various awesome shitposts. Almost everyone remembers shit-fests like Porch Day and JOHN CENA. If you take that away, this place is just as bad as #Offtopic. Not just the moderators are the problem. Most of the posters are part of the problem as well.
This place will liven up, but we need new members, despite the hate against newfomans, everyone starts that way.I'm sorry, but we need the newfags
Unfortunately, the Bungie forums have moved on from the whole "tragedy" of the update, and I don't see this forum catering to many other people who aren't already here.
Well, one thing in the start of 2013, and then the next in the middle of 2014. This forum better last until the end of 2015 if we wanna get that influx. And what's to stop the people in #Offtopic from just finding different Offsite forum or moving to another forum in Bungie. We'd maybe get 5% of the active users from #Offtopic if we were lucky.
