So much History... gone, forgotten.
Before you generalize this thread, this is not a complaint about Bungie.Next.
Anyways, I was poking around Bungie.Old and going through various iterations of the site. It occurred to me that their is a history so rich and full of stories here... and most people know nothing of it. We need an Archive. Not a Wiki (Even though the people running that do a good job.), but a full fledged archive. And before you say you know everything about the Bungie Community, do you worship Clyde? If you don't get that reference, you don't get this Community in its entirety. We need a place to Archive Bungie's Community, Forum Memes, Employees, Community Guys (Bungie Employees), and trends in the site.
You should just scroll to a certain year or month and see, hmmmmm, this meme was popular this month. Oh, this guy was in charge of the community this particular year. Bungie's community goes farther back than Halo: CE.
You can feel the memories, the good times. And they're slowly being forgotten. Don't let that happen [i]Current[/i] Bungie Community, otherwise it'll happen to you too.

1 ReplyEdited by DrummerJake: 1/30/2013 10:10:00 PMI agree. I've just come out after a period of no activity and it's all changed! Bungie.next, I've never heard of it. Where is Bungie old? My posts and stuff have gone somewhere. Ahhhhh Too much change.... But I'm not complaining, it just makes me nostalgic. Edit: Actually looking through, I am slightly complaining. Where is the Bungie.net I've loved all the years?

That actually would be pretty cool. Sort of like a history document of the site. If this was community oriented, I would totally be willing to work on it.

3 RepliesThe bungie.old content was just toxic towards the new title ... it would be very difficult to pick up a single tread from any of the old forums which left bungie in a positive glow, not something you want shown to a potential new fan base (ok - agree everyone will remember, but bungie can hope - cant they?) The funniest of these was the Crimson Steam Pirates area ... the "[i]indie developers bungie love[/i]" have been shut out - nice way to treat the one developer who took the leap of faith and went with bungies crimson project. Our posts can be treated like worthless material, but to cut of the support of a commercial start-up who still has to pay bills ??? ... wonder how bungie would have reacted if Microsoft had done the same to them when the publisher/developer roles were reversed?

This would be something I'd really enjoy seeing as well.

This actually sounds like a very interesting project. I wouldn't mind developing an archive on my Bungie domain to host it (bungie.co). Maybe one day.
-
1 ReplyI think once Bungie.next comes out an archive will be made of Bungie.previous. But I do agree that there needs to be an archive.

1 ReplyHopefully once they are done transferring over the old threads we will get our saved threads back.

Edited by MastaSin: 1/30/2013 10:24:48 PMI've been here since Nov, 04. And I've never heard of this Clyde you mention, but it sounds like a Raditz.

The trick is going to be establishing what criteria makes a subject part of our history. A lot of groups are going to claim that some event or short-lived meme means more than it does. I don't particularly care for a lot of the "Let's make a joke about this non-sequiter scenario" that is encountered often in the OffTopic. There are, though, a lot of serious events that defined our community. Outside of site updates, there were such events as BB's passing, announcement of Destiny, forum overloads such as that of the Halo 3 Starry Night teaser, and Webcam games, as well as a host of community-generated content, like The Bathroom Reader, Community Carnage.

1 ReplyI feel like I have had a lot of history on Bungie.old, granted it hasn't been as much as others.

1 ReplyThe world is changed. I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth. I smell it, in the air. Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it. [url=http://www.hark.com/clips/mjkxtwyfty-much-that-once-was-is-lost-for-none-now-live-who-remember-it]Cue music[/url]

[url=https://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/Forum/Post?id=7005919]That's something I actually have been working on in regards to the memorable threads that have happened here and more.[/url] I have been integrating other people's work into the archive of hilarity such as Steve's Flood's timeline he created, A Dumb Door's Funny saying thread, and Wurstsalat's way to find old threads and the top topics. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en-US/View/community/Forum/Topics?page=0&ty=0&s=1&d=0&tg=%23archive]I also have been asking others with the intent of remembering this site's history to connect their work with the hashtag archive.[/url] While I know it's not perfect, I have been trying to constantly improve on it when I have the chance and would appreciate any suggestions on what else to add.
