Chapter Avatars

Hullo there. This is for all members of the Seventh Column. I was just curious if any chapter founders would be interested in chapter Avatars, perhaps about the size of your personal ones here in the forum, or larger, smaller, whatever you'd like. Please just speak your mind on this, but I thought it would be a neat system to set up for when the Seventh Column catches up to the rest of Bungie.net. It would be a great identification system for chapters, besides simply the name. I know Bungie isn't very keen about custom avatars, but it would be nice to have some just the same... I'm sure there's a lot more ideas for what the next version of the seventh column could include, but I thought this was one that deserved a mention. Thanks guys, and again, thoughts or ideas welcome.

  • Well, if you factor in the non-active chapters and the people who are too lazy to make an avatar of their own, I'll wager under 5,000 chapters would have to be checked. At a mesely 10k a piece, even on a 56k, it shouldn't take more than a few soconds to download one. The longest part would be the approval process. Moving the approved ones form where they are to a new spot. That's a maximum of eight seconds a piece right? Moving files in my FTP doesn't take very long. So about ten seconds an avatar. We have 7 mods, you can most easily trust several others, so let's say ten people. 5,000 avatars, 10 people, 500 a piece, ten seconds a pop, 5,000 seconds to do it. That's an hour and less than a half to check their fair share. Hell, I'll do it just to get my own avatar! Of course, this depends wildly on how Bungie sets up the FTP space to check them. And if my estimate is off a bit, the time could takre a whole lot longer. But it's not as bad as you think. Hell, I'll do the whole thing personally, if not just for the fame it will bring me. (Think instant stosh fame level from appreciative founders!) Now, cue stosh saying no one will ever be as famous as him, and also cue Archronos to tell me why my idea would take ten times longer than I think. [Edited on 6/26/2004 8:38:51 PM]
