I don't think it's quite that bleak (Destiny)

And while I like to see people charged up and passionate about things, nobody needs a flame war. This forum is actually quite healthy I think, and generally I find it quite devoid of flame wars. Passionate people, yeah, but generally friendly, and always fun to play the game with. Compared to some places, this is paradise.

I'd like to >ahem< echo banana's feelings. As someone who participated in the HBO forum pre-Microsoft-acquisition and lurked up thru halo 3 (and a little into reach) I feel like this is a pretty dang great place, really quite healthy & friendly. It's a nice place to be (especially for me; with the smaller numbers on DBO I feel I can actually participate again; it feels like the BBS I used to run decades ago).

Although I will say I do tire a little of the investment debate that has a way of resurfacing, but it seems to legitimately factor into some of the things being discussed (such as the exotic upgrade path). It's all good just as long as peeps keep a cool head about it & don't flame/resort to personal attacks, yeah?
