Why are there so many stickys?
Why doesn't this forum support a lot of forum text codes ie. [hr] [code]example[/code] things like that?
How can I tell the difference from a Mod and a Member?
Why can't I use Images inn my signature?
Why isn't the forum designed for a community where we can express ourselves like the Resistance forums or the IG forums?

Because there's lots of interesting things here.
Because it supports what it needs to support, and the web team is too busy to add other stuff.
Mods have salmon text, Bungie employees gold.
Because this forum places emphasis on identifying people by their words, not their skill with Photoshop.
Because that's what private groups are for.

1. It helps people get to the more important stuff right away faster.
2. No need for them here.
3. Mods = salmon text, Admins = Gold text. Normal members = grey
4. Because Images don't sleep ;)
Because it's not about whats in your signature but whats above it that makes you a respected member.
5. You can express yourself all you want in Private forums on this website. Although they have rules made by the makers of the group that you still have to follow.

Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

Long story short: a lot of people cannot be trusted with images under any circumstance. There are just too many possibilities of people posting something obscene. You can put links to pictures in your signature, though.

Why isn't the forum designed for a community where we can express ourselves like the Resistance forums or the IG forums?

If by "express yourself" you mean express an opinion about something, there are forums for that. There's the Bungie General forum for all things Bungie (except for those specific things like Halo and such that already have forums), there's the Halo forums and such if you have an opinion about Halo. If you have a general opinion, you can use the Flood.

If you want to write about something in your life, you will have to find or found a group. The forums are designed to be a place where you discuss subjects with other people, not talk about how much you hate/love your life.
