You can't [i]just join[/i] a club without being initiated first. Every new member has to undertake a mandatory feat - usually of the awkward and uncomfortable nature - before they can be fully trusted with our secret handshakes and passcodes.
So what's going to be our initiation cermony guys? Shall we use them as test-dummies for the slingshot? Or perhaps the chair and wet noodle may no longer remain exclusive for Ninjas?

I'm curious to know if Destiny will drive new traffic here or if it will mostly be us old homies with the occasional wayward Internet transient looking to put something more solid that corrugated metal over their heads . I joined up back when I was like "WTF is I love bees?" loved it and stuck around. I dunno. I think most of us have found our home here already. If anything, there may be an influx of youngins who may not have heard of bungie until Destiny.

We have them fight an ice wraith.
-
They have to challenge Cort in a test of worthiness, if they fail they get sent west, if they pass, they're in.

Telling them you're an imposter.

Tell them to drink bleach and plank in traffic.

They have to look for Jason Jones. Naked.

When I joined several years ago, I had to endure the awkawrdness of sigining in with my account....
-
Well, what did YOU have to go through? All I did was create an account and join the conversation, and thus joined what was and still is a welcoming community. That seemed sufficient.
-
They must learn our history with a rigorous thread and are tested on their ability to handle Porch threads and respect the elder members by calling us "Master Flood."
-
Put them in a room surrounded by curtains, and have a fly buzz around.
-
We interrogate them about their political and religious beliefs. In all honesty though, we should have a 1v1 tournament in which 100 new members at a time play against each other in Halo 3, and the top 10 will be inducted into the Seventh Column, terminating the rest.
-
I'm up for welcoming them with open arms, provided that they sign a waiver stating that they will not flood the forums repeatedly with the same old complaints about Destiny. Every time a new game comes out, the complainers come flooding in. And I'm not talking about useful criticism and that - the complaints that are not constructive at all, just angry words, and that are repeated topics when there's already many about the same thing. Ha... anyway, naw I'm all about the more the merrier. We here at Bnet are a special bunch. There more of us there is, the less time it will take to reach World Domination. Long live the Seventh Column.

Strip them naked, cover them with honey, then lick it all off of them.
-
Let's give them super exclusive treatment of being the test subjects of Bungie's slingshot!
-
The Mythics will handle it.

With Love.
