When did Bungie.net become Reddit?
Okay, so admittedly I haven't been on this site in a couple of years.
But goddamn.
Are any other oldfags still lurking around able to explain just what the hell happened here? My impression seems to be that Bungie are so psyched for Destiny they've swept Halo under the rug. Now, fair enough, Destiny is going to be awesome. But seriously, the forums have practically disappeared, and a slightly less popular version of Reddit seems to have taken its place.
This is not a thread for you kids to rage at me and declare your undying love for Bungie, whose virgin honour you will defend to your last dying breath. I simply want to know if there is any legitimate reason why this site has changed so drastically and, in my opinion, to such a worse state of affairs.

Edited by Kickimanjaro: 6/2/2013 1:09:15 PMWell, this site has always been a hub from which their latest game has prospered. With the old Bungie.net that was Halo Stat Tracking, with Destiny we don't really know how much the site will be integrated. With the new forum design we can create our own forums, so this could potentially allow for some interesting collaboration within Destiny (organizing a massive raid on the Moon, for example), but other than that I don't really know what the future holds. It's shiny, and it's different, and sometimes change is good. It was admittedly hard to get used to though. Most important thing to note is that tags aren't really tags like they are used on Twitter but more like posting something in various sub-reddits.
