Isn't it?

Customs Night Sign-Up Threads just got the green light? <3

They never really didn't. It's just that now anyone who doesn't want to see them... doesn't have to.

I've got mixed feelings about this, honestly. I've enjoyed the careening nature of a lot of bungie.org threads.

Now I feel self-conscious about my careens.

As a reader I'll probably ignore it. As a poster I'll try not to over-think it.

Claude already covered one aspect of this, but I wanted to add something:

You don't have to stick to the Category the thread is posted in.

Careening into off-topic territory within a Destiny thread is perfectly fine, even if it means those posts aren't technically in the correct category. If I wanted to be really picky, I could easily split the offending posts into a new thread and change the category. (I can also merge threads, if needed, but that's an entirely different scenario.) I don't imagine thread splitting will be necessary very often, though.

Careen away!

I just look at it as another level of filtering when you want to find related topics.

I'm pretty sure that's precisely how Duncan envisions it.

For many people, it's a tidbit of information that might not ever get used.

For folks who might get annoyed seeing threads about, say, game nights amongst forum dwellers (playing something other than Destiny), it's an easy way to pare back what they have to look at.

For people who WANT to post a note about an off-topic game night (to stick with the same example), but feel guilty at making a non-Destiny-related post on a Destiny forum, it's a way to feel less guilty; they know that anyone who is bothered doesn't even have to see it.

That's why God made search engines. :)

(Looks like you have an hour limit to edit/delete.)

I don't know what to believe anymore!

:p

This should be Pinned to the top of the page since it, in essence, would help any newcomer (or those H.B.O plebes :P) know of where (and what) is posted here in this forum. (As if that wasn't obvious already)

*cough*

I'll make a locked/sticky thread with this info eventually; for now I'd love to hear feedback from everyone on the categories listed above.

;)
