I think there should be a little more customizatable features for groups.
Like adding there own theme instead of the bungie ones.
A Logo, maybe a picture like everyones account has.
Your group name on your service record so when people pull it up online they can see what groups you belong to.

Just a few ideas, I love the group idea itself I just wish I could do more with it.
Post your ideas or approvals if you wish =D

Yeah. Me too.

Here are some more ideas...

* Groups should have a bar with a link to a official gametype/map.

* Sub ranks!

* A little more skins such as the Bungie.net image with High Chairyt and Phantoms.

* Some image allowance.

First two of your suggestions present the problem of people uploading inappropriate pictures.

I would like to see some other improvements though. I would like them to allow you to have longer rank names(it's currently only 20 characters) now that the new layout gives them more space(enough for at leased 30) and some more customization options.

That can be remedied with simple screening procedures, where groups request authorization for the images they are using before they become active. I would be happy to overview such things.

No I'm afraid I cannot browse the enormous amounts of posts on the forums with the search system bungie has made. That post was days ago and not what I want.

I like everyones ideas so far keep em coming =D

Text color ability for security roles. (Example: Group admin has gold text, etc etc.) That would make me happy. :)

Good idea Zag. I really wish we could have the layout functionality that live spaces has--you can move around all the content blocks. It's really cool.

I is semi-honored by your presence on my forum post.
Amber has explained to me what this live spaces thing is, that also sounds really cool to be able to move around some of the things.

By the sound of it more group customization in general sounds good.

I think more group customization would be 1337.
One cool thing would be to have a extra icon appear underneath your avatar dipicting what rank you are within the group.

You missed the point like Vader missed the banshee, your whole argument is covered in bees.
Stop sending me group invites -blam!-s!

Stosh already said that he was working on a theme builder so wait for that. I think we should be allowed custom avatars in groups (with permission given by admins as a security role) and to allow colour formatting (also a security role chosen by admins).

I think one of the most ultimate additions they could add to the groups is to put filesharing in the groups. So you can post your maps, screenshots, and videos just in your group. That would certainly give the groups a expanded purpose.

There are loads of features groups could use so that old groups of bungie.net can be resurrected and other members could be more enthused when joining one.

That would be an awesome idea, especially for forging groups.

the whole colour text to make the roles in a groups is a great idea. but does the Bungie.net server have enough space for that kinda information?

I'm sure that they have enough space =)
Or have the cabability of providing it.

I would definatly like to see the group fileshare thing, though that might be a little tricky to implement.

Ultimately its more than likely the groups will eventually incorporate a fileshare system of their own where members of the group post there fileshare uploads exclusively for the groups or in the public forums also.

Group themes are being worked on at the moment. After a while, more themes will be added, and there will be a greater diversity to choose from. As for new features, I'd love to see some custom databases like the old (way back) groups...

More themes is cool I guess, but I'd like to create my own themes, you know more random code and crap to spend my time on =D

I heard a theme builder is being made so that sounds pretty cool.
I like Amber's idea, what with the icons for ranks and all.
