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.

Op is a fun hating fizzle.

Some of those changes I like.
-
Not sure if trolling...
-
Well great! But wrong forum.

This belongs in [url=http://www.bungie.net/forums/topics.aspx?forumID=3]The Community Forum.[/url]

If Coup gets hosed I'm not going to be a happy camper.

Hosed Coup you say.
-
I like the forum as it is.
-
They could already ban us instantly if you misused the code of conduct so that wouldn't be in the update. It doesn't really have that much to do with the website its more at the Mods discretion than anything else. Also this would do better in the Community forum.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] halo3genius If Coup gets hosed I'm not going to be a happy camper.[/quote] It's not a matter of if.

1. They need to allow political and religious discussion, and only lock/ban when it ceases to be a discussion. 2. They need a "My Forums" section like xbox.com so you can see the threads you have posted in. imo
-
1. I agree with the current account creation system. Newer members having to wait a certain amount of time prior to contributing is fine. 2. Disagree wholeheartedly. I think political discussion should be allowed. Yes it's touchy but it also has its place. Religious discussion can stay a bannable/warnable offense as it more of than not leads to ridiculousness. 3. Don't like the post? Report it. Otherwise move on. I believe the current rules work and the little tweaks that are made here or there help. No need to try and fix a system that isn't broken.

Okay then, lets have fun while it's still possible.

Belongs in the Community forum.\ Someone ban this lawbreaker.
-
I'm hoping for some more features, like notifications. This forum is so lacking compared to others.
-
The system currently in place isn't broken, so why fix it? The only improvements I would like to see is the discussion of politics/religion, albeit closely watched discussions.
-
1, doesn't this belong in the Community forum. 2, coup isn't getting hosed, it would just be incompatible with the changes that will happen and will have to be made compatible. 3, that seems a little uninviting, it may deter new users. 4, doesn't that already happen? 5, what is wrong with using memes as long as I also contribute to the discussion? 6, if I recall correctly, I remember reading that the Halo forums merging was a possibility, I'd have no problems with it.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] halo3genius If Coup gets hosed I'm not going to be a happy camper.[/quote] I can live without it.

Holy crap! They can't actually do this, it's hard enough to sustain a sound account avoid the banhammer and enjoying the site also!!
