Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Great changes! The latest poster and the go to last post buton on the Top Forum Topics and stickiers are quite usefull. I don't see any major problems so far, but I'll keep looking.

Sometimes, the avatar appears below the post and the screen flashes a little when your typing. I'm not sure if thats just me, my browser, or something else.

EDIT: I'm also a fan of the slightly different colored bars where the screen names appear, depending on rank.

Is it just me or does the advertisements always lead to the top bungie.net private groups?


That's where they should lead to. People and orgainzations IN the community. Be glad they're not selling the space to outside advertisers who want your money.
Now I've thought about it, I wouldn't actually mind, as long as we see some benefits.

Obviously having a free site and forum has been great, so if Bungie wants to make some money I'm fine with that. But we should get stuff, like free Bungie Pro for using Bnet.

Hopefully Bungie wouldn't lose out financially. Free Bungie pro and other stuff, I think I could stand Starbucks or whoever trying to sell me stuff.

Bungie could even get businesses to sponsor special hoppers. "Infection. Brought to you by McDonalds."

It makes sense.

Umm, no. If there's an advertisement about global heat maps on bungie.net I don't think I should get directed to the top private chapters.

I'm sure this will be fixed in a bit.

*EDIT* The work at Bungie ad was just fixed for me, earlier it had the same problem as the rest.


Clearly I misunderstood you. I thought you meant that the idea of the ads was wrong. It's great for people who are newer to the site, in the first month or so it could help them find their way around this strange land. They're really not ads, they're not advertising a product. They are more of a guide feature.

The point is to stand out - it is VERY easy to see a moderator or employee post. That is intentional.

OMG. I just saw an employee one. It's even worse than the ninjas.

What is it with them and colour for special members? Bungie always pick the worst.

  • 02.14.2008 3:59 PM PDT

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Have any chapter-related changes been made? I see color text wasn't added for moderators and admins. . .

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I like the new colors.

But I'm colorblind, so my opinion doesn't count as much.

Then you've achieved your goal. But couldn't you choose a more agreeable colour?

Or did Stosh pick it?

It's like the old metaphorical "train wreck". You may not like to look, but it is impossible to ignore.

I have no problem with it, but should it dampen your aesthetic ardour, then clearly you have noticed it, which is the point.

I get more ass than a toilet seat.

Oh wow know Mod posts stick out and I do admire the pics on the side.

Hey, Achronos, are those Bungie ads placeholders for other possible ads?

Employees have always been gold, the text is the same color. The only difference is the bar itself, which has a dark yellow background, and a border that is the same gold text color.

The mods have the same salmon colored text, again with that color being used as the border for their header box and a darker version of that color as the background. Stosh wanted it to be red, but you can't read it when it is red, so stosh lost, and it stayed the same salmon color.

So really, the colors haven't changed at all.

I just woke up. When I saw the brightness of your tag, it hurt my eyes so much.

Back on topic though, I have to admit that I loved the site with the initial changes, what you've done now is even better than before. Feels like theres no limit to the awesomeness that is to come.

And the blue color you used on the Mythic member tag is a really nice color, I don't know, but that just grabbed me.

Edit: The brightness of the tag was directed at Achronos, I forgot to quote.

Stosh vs. Achronos= Achronos wins, and THANK GOD. I would never be able to read red text on here. I have seen it in Private Group News posts and my eyes begged for mercy.

Did the avatars always go to the users account page when you clicked on them? The community 'ads' on the side are cool, but why does the forerunner design on the black space sometime not show up? Does anyone else notice that, or is it just me?

  • 02.14.2008 4:09 PM PDT

It's the bar I'm moaning about. But that's just me.

Whoa. I go out for 2 hours and this is what happens. I gotta say; I love the changes. :)

  • 02.14.2008 4:10 PM PDT

No legendary or mythic for me.

I didn't go on the forums for like 6 months, and I posted a youfail.org link to someone that said they were going to sew Bungie.

Eh, when in doubt, re-read the rules, right?

No u. I wanted the moderator bar red but let them have normal colored text. Give feedback mods.
