[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Shishka .....You are not the date you created your account. People should not be rewarded simply because their account came to be a long time ago. Some guy that logs in once a month, never posts in the forums or takes part in any chapters, but has had an account since 2001 should not be ranked amongst someone who's only been around a few months, but has spent the majority of those few months helping users, initating discussion, providing insight, and in every way being a model bungie.net member.[/quote] Absolutely! Speaking for myself, I only got a .Net account because I wanted a b.net account, so I could get the benefit of Bungie perks for Halo 2. Otherwise, I was glad and happy to lurk and if driven to comment, create an account that was easily lost. Achronos has made (elsewhere) a wonderful point. By making our b.net accounts something of value, those of us who take pride in how we present to others will act "civil". Because of that, I finally stopped lurking and decided it harms nothing (except some people's tolerance of bad jokes) and might actually help some of the "new to Bungie" members we have. I'd like to think that I try to approach the goal of the short-time account that Shishka described. But I think that some of my mod-teasing ruins that. BTW, Shishka? Your "bionic eye" might be overloading. The red glow now includes your eybrow and nose. You're not looking for another thankless job of pulling a sleigh are you?
