[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)
EDIT-Credit goes to [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74990525&postRepeater1-p=1]DE4THINC4RN4TE[/url] and [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=74987355&postRepeater1-p=1]MaxRealflugel[/url] for the basic idea.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. Let's be realistic, do you think Bungie actually cares enough to write down a ton of names and use up resources just to acknowledge a bunch of people desperate for recognition? How do you even go about doing this? Make a thread, leave it open for a week? 5 hours and that news will spread like wildfire, and you'll have 100s and 100s of pages from people that don't even own an xbox, but just want their name in a video game. Oh, and having the creators of this idea having an elevated position on this supposed wall? Really? I almost choked on the desperation when I entered this thread. None of you have done anything to deserve this either. What, you decided to check in on this forum once in a while? Made the great effort of signing in and posting "omg destiny so good destiny yeah baby"? Please. If [b]anything[/b], all you are getting is a single line at the end of the credits that says "thanks to all of our fans for their support during the darkness". No individual names, no hidden easter egg. Just a blanket thank you that allows Bungie to acknowledge their fans while not having to worry about the thousands of people that would complain because their name didn't go on the wall.
