All that is needed for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

What do people mean when they say things like "Nice coup". Is it the avatar or something?

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

It refers to "Coup d'Bungie," the name of a script in Firefox that's popular with a lot of users here. When someone says "nice coup," they're typically referring to the user's custom avatar which is viewable to other users of this particular script. See this thread for more information.

Some people don't like Vanilla Bungie.net, the title system, or the Avatars that Bungie offers them, so they use some grease monkey script called Coup De Bungie to customize their picture, title bar, and title bar color however they want to. Only people who use coup can see the other coup user's modifications.

Referring to someone's coup would be referring to said customizations.

In addition to what Foman said, there is a group for Coup d'Bungie where details about it can be found.

If you are watching this you have clicked on my profile or stolen this. I dont know why you would do that...

About me? I love Astronomy, I like to play guitar and watch anime. My future lies in Astronomy and so does the future of all of humanity. You should join my Astronomy group Space Explorers.

What they said and here is a example image of it.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Some people don't grasp the value of discussion and think that custom titles and avatars are the best way to define themselves as individuals.

Kinda silly, IMO.
