Forum Designs

I still think that each forum or category should have its own design. It looks nicer, its more solid and most importantly think about it from a new members point of view. Destiny just came out and the new flood of members comes in and they're very confused by this whole tagging system and everything looks the same and so on. Different designs will look better over all and it will prevent the uninformed from posting their destiny thread in support or vice versa. Who agrees?

  • I agree. I would like to see forum banners return.

    You would have to do different designs for different tags. Each tag would be associated with a certain design. This raises a number of other problems, though: 1. Where is the line drawn for what tags get a design or not? Can ANY random tag get a design? 2. Who gets to decide what the design should be? What if other people don't like it? 3. If the forumers themselves decide, who has the job of making sure the design's images (if any) are appropriate? I don't think unique forum designs is compatible with the idea of these forums. Bungie has made it clear that this new forum is very free form and user-driven. It's low maintenance for Bungie since they don't have to maintain sections (tags replaces that) or moderate as much (ignore lists and hide). Introducing unique designs for each tag implies there needs to be some sort of leadership roles, whether it comes from us or from Bungie. I think that goes counter to the currently flat leadership. I also doubt that designs will help people learn the tagging system. IMO it's actually very intuitive right now, and introducing unique designs would only reinforce the incorrect view that tags are controlled and dedicated sections as in traditional forums.

    • Yeah, that would be sweet. I think we might see some headers with Bungie.next.
