Our reaction to the OP



You know, that doesn't help me or anyone else.

If anything it wastes my time and everyone else's time on the issue.

What (constructively) do you dislike about my idea?

I think it's a fine idea, its just been thought of before. And if you really believe the video was a waste of time, you have no sense of humor.

I wonder why Spartan Ken wants to change his name? Because he's rather well known around the forums? (as a douche)


I don't want to change my name at all.

Also, I don't know how I act like a douche. :/
Your pointless threads suggesting useless updates to bungie.net get annoying.

This.


Adressing both of you, it is your choice to come into my thread and post.

I am not forcing you guys to do that.

If you think I am a douche, or a troll, or whatever you want to call me, cool, just don't do it in the mains or in a thread I made please.

Your posts are off-topic and hurtful. I have respect for my fellow members and I do not know what I did to make you guys mad other than being active.

So, please stop trolling the thread and lest get back on topic.

Alright, guess it was kind of of topic.... I would like to change my name, because i made it about 5-6 years ago when i first got my xbox. However i dont think it is practical or possible to implicate a working name change system.

And he swings and it's a hit!

While I usually cower deep within the bowels of the community forum, I must say this idea sucks. The overall idea, of allowing users to change their name on the forum is a good one. Brought up already several times before. But instead of keeping it simple like you think you did, you just complicated it further while also suggesting that we make a hassle for Achronos and other employees and their inboxes.

How about this maybe? If a user on this forum has been an active member/user for at least a 6 to 12 month period and has a generally good, clean ban history, that user can request a name change on their Birthday? And then annually on their Birthday once each year, they get the option to change their name again. Or even simpler, users who have had an active account for well over a year can get the option annually to change their name (once a year of course and only once until the next oppurtunity arises). I don't see anything wrong with it really. And another feature to go with this could be when you hover over a users name and keep the mouse over it for a short period of time, a list of previous names that the user used shows up under it. How about that?

On another note...

Ah, so you can most definitely relate to my post on page 4.

I think people are too worried about other users changing their name every couple months. Well, if Achronos made it where you only get one strike and you're out, then that would be a lot more fair and easier. And like I said, there could be tons of easy ways to tell who is who. Like the one I mentioned earlier; hover your mouse above that users name and a window pops up with his/her previous user name and other info regarding the change.

You don't start building a house if you don't have the foundation.

Meanwhile, Dubai is constructing a mile high hotel/apartment/office tower on nothing but sand and gravel.

Burj Khalifa I think that is what he was referring to, however it makes no mention in the Wiki article...digging for another link...can't find any links explaining the foundation but I do remember hearing it was built on sand.

It's an interesting idea, although I dont think the staff would ever go for it.

He said being constructed though, the Burj Khalifa is already complete. If it is what he was referring to though then it definitely has foundations. I'll take a quote from the wiki:

The primary structural system of Burj Khalifa is reinforced concrete. Over 45,000 m3 (58,900 cu yd) of concrete, weighing more than 110,000 tonnes (120,000 short tons; 110,000 long tons) were used to construct the concrete and steel foundation, which features 192 piles; each pile is 1.5 metre diameter x 43 m long, buried more than 50 m (164 ft) deep.[25] Burj Khalifa's construction used 330,000 m3 (431,600 cu yd) of concrete and 55,000 tonnes (61,000 short tons; 54,000 long tons) of steel rebar, and construction took 22 million man-hours.[10] A high density, low permeability concrete was used in the foundations of Burj Khalifa. A cathodic protection system under the mat is used to minimize any detrimental effects from corrosive chemicals in local ground water.[46] In May 2008 concrete was pumped to a then world record delivery height of 606 m (1,988 ft),[24] the 156th floor. Three tower cranes were used during construction of the uppermost levels, each capable of lifting a 25-tonne load.[88] The remaining structure above is constructed of lighter steel.

Get at me

It's not a matter of whether we want it or not, it's a matter of developing an argument to pose to the site admins that will justify our request. Honestly, I can't think of anything that will convince them that we should have this option at all.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

I have enough trouble remembering my own name never-mind other people's new names.
