I'd post the pic of the rabbit with a pancake on its head, but this forum doesn't allow for pics.

So, I'll type it out.

[I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a bunny with a pancake on its head.]

So you want everyone who posts first to be pushed out to the back, and the newest to be at the top.

Back to square one. You'd end up with the same problem you tried to resolve. First posts would end up not being read.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

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!"

Chronical is a funny word (it uses itself in it's definition according to thefreedictionary.com) Did you mean Chronological order? What ever. I just prefer reading threads in the order they were posted. It would be too dificult to scroll to the bottom of the page to figure out what everyone was talking about!

(EDIT: Wow, that was weird, I had Orange Text for a little while.)

I really don't think my brain could handle that kind of change. To me, it makes more sense the way it is anyway. I don't really see a point in changing it, laziness to press buttons perhaps. I like the way it is and I am fine with pressing buttons.

I also like the way it runs at the minute but like I said earlier I think it would be good if we have the original post at the top of each new page which would make it easier for people to reply to just a thought.

Impossible. Bungie, being a (former) classic Microsoft company, uses proprietary software for their forum. Unless there is a setting built there (which, 99% of the time, there is not), there's nothing they can do. They should switch to phpBB, free and open-source forum software written in PHP.

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

Achronos has stated that they bought the software for this forum from Ideal Science and that they heavily customized it to their own use. I'm sure they could do anything they really wanted if they tried. The long, heated battle of phpBB vs. Customized Hand-built Homebrew Software has gone on long. From every notion of this we've heard, and it is true, that phpBB can not support the load of this site and give the flexibility and customization that the current software gives to B.net. I don't want to head down that road, but it probably doesn't suite this site since it is built on customized professional software.

Your grammar isn't doing much better either.


Back on topic, I wouldn't think that PHP would be good either since it is open source, giving greater odds of a security breach, especially on a busy site like Bnet.
