Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

Alrighty. I'm one of the people that are just a bit peeved by the fact that sigs have pretty much been rendered useless. One reason for this is the fact that sig links were one of the best ways to promote some of the groups here on B.net. Groups are where a large portion of the most active members spend a huge portion of their time here and if the groups aren't growing, it could very well be detrimental to the amount of enjoyment that some of us get from this site.

So, in the spirit of trying not to piss and moan too much about what was, I've tried to come up with ideas that could make what I view as a bad situation get better.

If you'll look over to the left of the posts on this page, you'll notice that the area next to your avatar is pretty much wide open. Other than the "Other posts by this User" link, that space is overall, kinda plain. Wouldn't it be nice to have a "User's Featured Groups" link right there to help fill up the gap? What I envision is a link that does nothing more than take you to a list of groups selected by the member from the groups that he/she belongs to. Perhaps we could even add a little description to each group for those that are too lazy to click on each link and check the group out themselves. If Achronos was really feeling crazy, he could even make little selectable graphics to act as tiny banners for the group(or atleast I assume he could. Ass/U/Me).

I think this idea or something similar to it would help to make some of us feel a little better about the loss of sigs and would help groups to grow faster than even our old sigs did.

Any thoughts?

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Lol, I remember telling you that phrase a long while back... Glad you remembered!


Your idea sounds good. Alternatively, there could be just a single named link that could be displayed there, and would link to w/e the user defined it to link to in their profile...
