There's a great amount of user generated content in groups, much of which has persisted over the years in one form or another. From a subjective point of view, I've seen:
Game nights and leagues in Community Carnage and even some Flood groups.
Podcasts, periodicals, and updates from P7, Bathroom Reader, and 7CX.
Fan fiction from Collective Anomaly.
Self-organized groups to solve Bungie's ARGs, like CompoundIntelligence
Classic Bungie game love from For Carnage Apply Within.
PAX events, discussion, and jokes in Penny Arcade Expo.
Art and stuff from Art and Stuff.
Elaborate Destiny culture investigations from Secrets of Destiny.
Pop culture and community-oriented comics from Bungieball.
A whole host of independent guides to user roles, vidocs, achievements, rules, and other junk.
The content is largely there, just decentralized and mostly swamped over. A system of bringing that content out to light could very well meet that demand. Who does that or how it's done is up to debate.
Frankly, a community consensus could be established. We see similar things happen all the time. Industry standards are made through IEEE or ISO rather than expecting a government entity to (inappropriately) determine what interface characteristics, say, your cell phone has. Likewise, a few mavericks could do something similar in #SeventhColumn, though I doubt it would be easy or quick.

That's very true. There are plenty of absolutely wonderful groups on Bungie.net. My issue with them lies in the fact that they don't have the tools they used to. If those groups made an effort to contribute publicly, I think it would be mutually beneficial.

Perhaps getting some major content or a "best of" update from a private group in #Community and then getting said private groups to upvote it would work? Ex. Take the best 5 stories from Collective Anomaly and create a second post with snippets/links in #Community. Then ask for likes from all the private groups involved in the project to propel it to trending? This could also be a byproduct of the contest ideas that have been thrown around.

I like this. You prove that the community [b]is[/b] here.
