Subject: background on Bungie.net..Horrible on your eyes

Bungie, could you PLEASE change this background with the blue checkers pattern? Both myself and a friend whom have had Lasik vision surgery both note it really hurts the eyes. And I'm sure i'm not the only one. Thank you.

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!"

You see not but 2% of the screen with that background at any given time. How could this thin border be that bad?

Also, I don't see how Lasik has any relevency to the topic.

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

Well since in some states Lasik surgeons thechnically don't have to be doctors, I would question the surgeon.

First, I think my lasik doctor is just fine. Unless Harvard is a bad place to learn how to become a eye doctor where my surgeon (See how to spell that correctly?) went to school. And yes, in Massachusetts they need a license. Thanks for asking. It's the pattern that causes serious eyestrain, especially for those whom had lasik surgery recently because image is so condensed the eyes cannot focus correctly. This would be fine if you were looking at it from 15 feet away, but who sits 15 feet aways from a computer monitor?

That actually depends on the resolution. I can see quite a bit of blue background.
Personally though, I think it is no eyesore.

Unless you have a widescreen monitor. I think Bungie.net looks so much better on a widescreen monitor.

It's fine on normal eyes I think..I don't really take any notice of it, sure it's there and it prolly will mess with your eyes if you stare at it for 10 minutes, but who in the hell does that?!

Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

THAT, son, is called an epic burn.
Just resize the window to cut off the background to either side.

It's only checkered on the top half of your screen. So as soon as you click on a forum, quickly scroll down before your eyes start to burn.

Shhh, you're welcome.

Thanks. I tried that it helps a bit. But seriously, Recon 54 that was offensive. What is next a bash on a handicap person? I don't take it too personal on the level as I had a cosmetic surgery, but I brought up an issue and was crapped on for it. How about some respect.

I can see where you're coming from although it doesn't bother me much. If you really want to get it changed you'll probably need to get a petition going. The main problem I have with it is that the checkered pattern keeps going through the blue gradient. If you look really hard at it you can still see the boxes at the bottom of the screen. It took me a minute to notice it but now, I can't help but to notice it. A bit annoying but still a nice theme. On a side note, I would get Lasik but it's to expensive for my tastes. I'll stick with Contacts, plus you get the awesome colors.

Wow people, this is an internet forum. Thats all. You shouldn't have to take things so seriously.

And recon was right, if it hurts, the obvious thing is to stop doing it.

No, you can use it all right, just don't complain about it hurting if your unwilling to change because it would be much easier for you to change rather then for bungie to change.

I don't see why you would want to continue to do something that causes you pain though.

1. I was being a smart ass
2. Recon was also being a smart ass because there's nothing he can do about it, so what's he suppose to say?
3. You and your friend are probably less than .000000000001% of the B.net population, therefore the liklihood of Achronos going back over the 1,000 or so hours he spent on the forum format and changing it for you and your friend is nil, zero, bubkis, nada, nyet (fill in word for zero in your favorite language here).
