Well, as being a webmaster of my own small site, suggestions come up vaguely, and when they do I listen and try my best to incorporate them. Then again, at other times, it seems like I'm flooded with ideas and comments to improve an already proven site. Sometimes, when I get a bland, awkward or impossible/hard suggestion, then I normaly ditch out the idea.
In other words, (...if you can't understand my incomprehensible babble) some ideas are just thrown away, because it just doesn't make any plausible sense in take time and effort to put these suggetions into effect, when it just doesn't need to be there at all, or it's "fine like it is".
I'm sure their are many reasons for such ideas not to be placed in. But as I say that, there could be reasons that these are being implanted, but the public isn't told about them. The Bungie.net Team works in mysterious ways, yet they still get a portion of the job done.
It's better to say that the B.Net Team is 'busy' and "they might get around to it". Yet, I shouldn't be trying to speak for Bungie. I'd like to see them respond for themselves. But I'm sure there are many reasons that isn't done also. I'm sure thy Webmaster is involved in that, somewhere..
I see where you're coming from Toast, and I will agree with you that Bungie may be working in "mysterious ways" to improve the site. I also agree with you that ideas flow through the floodgate like a torrent of water. It also just occurred to me that the Halo 2 stat lists and Xbox Live integration is probably playing a big role in the lives of the Bungie Web Team.
Although, and this is where I question the future of this site, I see many bright ideas present themselves in these forums, and when they pass into "oblivion" I have the need to ask the question, "Did anyone of importance catch that? That was a really good idea." I'm not asking "anyone of importance" to show themselves and say, without doubt, that our ideas are getting used in Bungie's overall plan for its site; that's not my aim. What I want to hear is that Bungie (or the Mods) see these suggestions and that it's very possible for them to be included into B.net.
Still, VII Toast, I also see where you're coming from when you say, "But I'm sure there are many reasons [they don't respond]." It's all up in the air from that point...
