there was no reversing what bungie did. the community was extremely vocal about our opinions. they never listened. they didnt manage the site properly, kept minimal oversight over the ninjas (who were actually ok as a whole, but there were a few really bad eggs,) and followed the money trail wherever it led. they were the architects of their own destruction.
They listened pretty well... to the community forum.
...only after they cleaned out all the LFG threads. Any constructive criticism of the site was quickly pushed to page 3+ in a matter of minutes.

That would've required Bungie to abandon the idea of turning their site into a social networking emulator/ad campaign.
I don't get why people like Camm, DTL, Beetle and Otthild can't just abandon ship. It would be so much better here with them.
Because they don't want to deal with the ill-festering drama that is this place?
It's true, a significant amount of you fuckers aren't exactly 'down to earth.'

Keeps things interesting at least.
As if there is anything interesting here.  I just check in every once in a while to see when the place will fall apart from drama.
Well ye but your perspective doesn't count for shit so it doesn't matter really. =]
OH HO

FRESH DRAMA

saving bnet isn't a thing, and the existence of this site has done nothing to alter the nature of bnet

Have you looked at the other forums there recently? I just poked my head back into #community and it's all Destiny threads again.

All that hard work undone.

Not unless any of you happen to be mods and/or bungie employees.

So no

Filled with idiots and shitposters galore.

Every week its a new retarded trend that the newbies spam until the next one starts.

Old threads lingering after being necro'd.
Shitposts and spam is tenfold of what we have here.
Still gets Destiny threads.
There's a new fad every week that gets spammed.

Did they even fix all of those glitches that were everywhere right after the second update?

And let's not forget the whole social media fuck train. Instead of discussion of any kind, it's quote trains of people quoting the OP.

They fixed a few, but that's it. I still run into a few every time I go back there.

Right? You look over to a post, see something like 36 replies, and go, "oh goody, this debate looks interesting to read."

And it's a fucking quote train.

You know, Bungie added the like button for some fucking reason. Honestly. I go back there, and I look at everything. And I shake my head. Everything just seems so damn....lame over there. Nothing interesting to talk about. Same old shit going round the gutter. Old shit that's so necro its mummified.

And it all just sort of, hangs around. Doing nothing.

And it makes me wonder about the stubborn holdouts. What the fuck are they doing in there? Just living quietly in a private group?

I enjoyed the first major overhaul of B.next, but after that, I don't why they even pushed out a mobile-like fucking website that takes a long time to navigate filled with bugs. If the site changed slowly, then I'd still go there.
