I had a linked Destiny account, but I promised to leave if they actually implemented that bullshit policy. So what's done is ultimately done, and now I'm here.

Nine years down the drain, but I don't particularly care anymore.

Holy shit, fuckin years?

Yeah. I've been an active member of the Flood since a few months before I turned twelve, which, suffice to say, means I wasn't a particularly productive and/or helpful member in the beginning. I think I've grown enough to admit I was a bit of a shitter back then, but at least I was never as bad as the so-called "trolls" who post on Bungie's site now.

Now I'm just left wondering why I'm only leaving now, even knowing from the onset of .next how bitter I was with what they did to the moderation team and how catastrophically bad their management skills are.

Even if they remove the Destiny-required bullshit and let members post on there again, what even is the point on going back.

#gaming is the least worst place on B.net

Also I'm pretty sure a few Mentors and Ninjas don't have linked accounts so the webteam have effectively shot themselves in the foot.

Whoa, whoa. Did the mod team get reshuffled as well?

No, not reshuffled (though some might have been phased out of their positions), but a few of them might have been booted off due to a lack of a linked Destiny account.

Aside from that? Just as neutered as they've always been. Only seriously offensive material or their own spite results in a ban anymore. Those pictures I showed you earlier are the kinds of things posted every day by the children there. Code of Conduct been pretty much abandoned in favor of the inherently flawed mute/hide system.

I know that Qbix and Captain K Mart are no longer mods. There's possibly a couple more, but I can't remember off the top of my head.

I PM'd him months ago asking to check this place out. Said he would but I think he was just being polite unless he did and just didn't like the looks of things.

Damn, I liked him and Recon. Would have been nice to hear what they thought of the way the site changed.

I didn't think it was possible but Bnet manged to get worse. Now you need to play their shitty game just to post in any of their forums.

I'd occasionally log in to see how things were even after I left last year.

After this latest update, even though I can still post there cause density linked account etc - I have absolutely zero inclination to do so. I don't even sign in when someone links a thread/comment there.

Amusingly, I used their site more for destiny stuff in the last year than I did ever posting on it. It's fallen pretty damn far.
