I'm not talking technically, I'm talking in terms of interaction. At each Halo game's height, the forums were just basically white noise. You make a topic, and it was already on page 3 of the forums. Thousands upon thousands of posts, with people saying the same things but not really communicating. We decided that we had to stop pretending that the "standard way" of doing forums would be okay for a game of Destiny's scale. Remember, this web site is designed for a game that you really don't know anything about yet. Anyway, that's the best way of describing why this site is designed as it is. It may seem strange right now, but when traffic jumps up, it will matter. We are aware it takes getting used to, but we didn't do it on a whim, and we're constantly watching various metrics and will adjust things accordingly (as you have already seen). But so far, we feel that our decisions have been generally on target with our goals. The biggest missing piece of the puzzle not related to the game is group functionality, but we'll get to that.[/quote] And by the way, most of [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_The-Age-of-Our-Community/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60546863#referred-Community]the community is older than you think ;-)[/url]
