[b][u]NOTICE:[/u][/b] I am not claiming that anybody here has done anything to deserve any recognition whatsoever. This is merely a fun idea.
The names of active users could be generated by post history for the past year. Every post has a time stamp (look at the bottom of your post) so I imagine compiling a list would not be that hard for Bungie to do.
I posted almost an identical post to this in a thread, but I felt it bears it's own thread. The basic idea was not mine, although I cannot recall who thought of it first.
In essence, the idea would be to create a Vietnam Memorial-style wall with references to all the members here on B.net who stayed active throughout the darkness. The names would go something like the following:
Brig Gen Foman
Maj Burrito
SSgt Mythical Wolf
Brig Gen Duardo
Col Evilcam
Gen Achronos
Etc.
Granted, there would be several thousand names on it, but that honestly is not all that many if they are packed front and back on a wall. Ranks could be determined based on trust rating and title prefixes.
(Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = PVT
Honorable (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Cpl
Veteran (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = SSgt
Noble (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = MSgt
Senior (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = MGySgt
Elder (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = SgtMaj
Intrepid (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = 1st Lt
Fabled (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Capt
Exalted (Heroic, Legendary, Mythic) Member = Maj
Forum Ninja = Col
Master Forum Ninja = Brig Gen
Bungie Employee = Lt Gen
Superuser = Gen
(All of these are legitimate Marine Corps ranks, but they could just as well be fictional if that was somehow preferable)

It's a nice idea, but it would be a lot of work. There are a lot more active members around than you might think.

You're probably right.

Bungie can't use fan ideas right so it will never happen?

This would be cool, but I don't see it happening.

I will remain active and expect nothing of Bungie other than the game

This could be possible. [Edited on 09.29.2012 6:29 PM PDT]

A memorial with ranks based on titles is silly in my opinion. Rather, I would want to have a memorial with every B.net member's name currently active. I wouldn't know how many that would be, but they could pick a handful number of people and reference them somewhere. Edit- Just have a memorial with community members' names instead of attaching a rank in front. [Edited on 09.29.2012 6:38 PM PDT]

I just thought adding the ranks would be a nice touch, as it would make it seem slightly more militant.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xXIHAYD0IXx [/quote] Let me rephrase that. I believe that adding a rank based on a title would be extremely silly. I think it would be cool if we just had a memorial or plaque located somewhere containing community member usernames. If we could put in everyone that would be a nice touch, but I doubt that would be possible. What Bungie can do is select a bunch of random user names to put on the plaque/memorial.

How are we going to put the names in chronological order of death if we're all alive?

[/quote]While it wasn't meant to be an elitist thing (indeed, I simply used the title ranking provided by Duardo), I can see how perhaps it could be construed that way. Maybe have a random rank, if that is your concern, although I would be equally happy with no rank whatsoever and just a list of users, either all the active ones or just random ones if there are too many.

I think Bungie already has a way to figure this out. Probably...
