I really, reeeeally hope 343 doesn’t take notes from Bungie on how to do forums when switching to a new look. I’ve got no idea how Discourse works, but please don’t use it to turn the Waypoint forums into a Reddit-esque nightmare. That’s what Bungie has done with their site, and it’s horrible. WP works so much better in a traditional forum style.
Reddit’s biggest problem is that its system creates echo chambers. Anything that goes with popular opinions gets moved up to the top, whereas anything that even remotely questions ‘the narrative’ is sent down to oblivion. Traditional forums allow for a variety of opinions—something that helps fuel discourse (couldn’t resist the pun 
). I truly hope 343 keeps this place the same with just a refreshed look.
