Subject: Bungie.net...not very free

Read the code of conduct. You have no freedom here. None. We control the vertical, the horizontal.

So long as there is a means to post an image there will be someone who wants to post the most vile crap you've ever seen. Hence, no images.


They don't control diagonal! Get there!

FREEEEEEEDOOMMMMMM!!!!!11!!11!2!!1!

Everyone keeps falling back onto abuse of custom avatars and sigs. Which is understandable it would be abused.

I would someone who is in the know (mod etc) please let us know why not more regular bungie supplied and approved avatars on site? 4 pages (109 avatars) for 1 million users? Even with the XBL users using different ones say 1/2 of them (feel free someone to provide a more exacting figure) thats 109 avatars for 500,000 users. Thats approx 4587 people per avatar a few more wouldn't hurt. I realize it takes time but you have had months of people submitting them (an entire sticky devoted to it) and trusted theme masters who could go over it. I mean really 1 new avatar every 2 months would that really be that hard to do? bandwidth? Unaffected. besides the tiny size of the 90x90 gif users using the new one would switch from thier current to it. It would not add more bandwidth. User "A" has a MC avatar and switches to the new bungie supplied one. No increase.

I realize the main webmaster is a VERY busy man. No one argues this. Its a simple request with no far reaching problems. Forum users like it, happy forum users are potential happy customers, happy customers spend money making bungie happy. (and yes I realize that adding one avater will not make bungie money its an example not a direct correlation )

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

Plus

People submit new awsome original fan made avaters all the time and bungie hasnt even hinted at picking any of them.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

You left out the diagonal, so there is a weak spot.

Why don't we start a war against Bungie- nobody post forever, until we get our freedom! Oh wait- that would just make the moderators job easy...hmm, any good ideas?

I myself have been wanting new avatars for B.net. New oldschool avatars (ie. Myth, Marathon, Oni).

3 pages of Halo doesn't equal 1 page of every old Bungie game. Some of us have even volunteered to sift through the crap in the 7themes email, but I don't think Achronos has the time to put this into motion.

And I wouldn't bother asking the webmaster. *shakes head slowly*
