And I'm 100% serious. For those of you out of the loop, [u]bungie.net IS getting updated fairly soon[/u]. There was a recent discussion about it in the community forum and here is a quote from Achronos:
[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=32011][quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos
Bungie.net has changed a lot visually over the lifetime of Halo, but it has been fundamentally altered only twice during the Halo era once in 2001 when we changed it from a Myth site to Halo site (and added the fanclub chapters), and then in 2004 when we switched to the code base that has been in use since then. The transition to the post-Halo Bungie.net won't just be a visual change with a few new/altered features. It has served us well this last decade, but we have a window where we can build ourselves tech that will last us the next decade. I won't talk specifics, of course, but we're taking everything we've learned over the last decade and building ourselves a brand new battle station. I can't wait to share it with you.[/quote][/url]
Also in the next site update [url=http://m.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=67255762&postRepeater1-p=3#67273311][u]coup is going to get completely hosed.[/u][/url] Say goodbye to it.
[u]As for other changes for this specific forum, here are my thoughts:[/u]
*Make it much more difficult for users to create accounts. Like approval by each.
*Any mentioning of political, religious, etc talk will be an instant ban
*inb4, nou, umad, I dont wanna live on this planet anymore, or any memes should be a bannable offense. It's SPAM and doesn't contribute anything to discussion.
*[u]Halo forums are being removed and combined into 1 forum[/u]. The only place that Halo talk will be allowed is in that new forum and here in the flood. [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=67696696&postRepeater1-p=2#67707140]Achronos said so[/url].
Change is on the horizon people. And it's gonna hit hard.
-
So The Flood will have no members. It'll be The Classifieds all over again...
-
As long as they don't change the Forum layout and design, I don't mind. These forums are one of the best forum designs out there in my opinion.
-
Ah. Well that's some -blam!- right there. Also, it sucked without coup a few weeks ago, and it's gonna suck even more not having it entirely. And, your suggestions are horrible, they remind me of the kind of thing people like Hitler or Rick Santorum would want. [Edited on 05.11.2012 8:33 AM PDT]

Noooooooooooooooooooo Coups are the only thing keeping me comeback to bungie.net. I like to see how different people customize their profile.
-
Hell no.
-
My question is simple. Will the old forums (especially the old Halo forums) be archived? Also, will the forum account creation system be migrated away from the current Microsoft ID system?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jump Into Hell What's coup again?[/quote] An add-on that gives the ability to make custom post backgrounds, avatars, titles, etc.

What's coup again?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] xGHOST270x The system currently in place isn't broken, so why fix it? [/quote]

Time to go back to the private groups.

If the flood goes i go.

Coming from an admin of Coup: Old news. When it happens, we'll just make coup 6.

This should be in the community forum. Also OP your suggestions seem a little strict.
-
People, not the forum, need to be rehashed.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] D PEAR [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] P00P 0N ME [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Marathon *Any mentioning of political, religious, etc talk will be an instant ban[/quote] That's idiotic. Make the moderators, and I know this will sound so alien and hilarious, MODERATE! There's nothing wrong with a calm discussion about politics, religion, or anything for that matter. Ban the people that can't handle the discussion instead of ruining an entire thread. Also, give the dang site the simple ability of banning by IP addresses! Wow, it's absolutely pathetic that they can't. [/quote] I've used another account, and when it was banned, so was my alt.[/quote] Because you didn't clear your cookies. I'm using an alt right now and aren't banned. Try using Google Chrome incognito. Use Chrome Incognito, (Or just manually clear your browsing history) and sign up on B.net, Use the "No - Sign me up for a free hotmail email address" then fill it out with gibberish and BAM! Within 45 seconds you bypassed the ban. [Edited on 05.06.2012 4:49 PM PDT]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore. OT: Everybody, say goodbye to everything that made the Flood so entertaining. It may have had tons of arguments and debates, but they were fun, and added to the atmosphere of Bungie.net.
