Subject: Some ideas for Bungie.Net

Snake,we're not tools of the government, or anyone else. - Gray Fox

I'm trying to be more active here after finding out I have mental issues, so I came up with some ideas for Bungie.Net
Mods, if this is too silly lock it

Making the site more social
Many sites have options to link or sign in or link accounts with Facebook, PSN, Steam, etc. I think this would be a good idea to have something similar, it would make it more accessible. If you have a linked account you could use your username on whatever you linked, and have that instead of a title, next to your name on here. Another idea would be using your PSN avatar/XBL Gamerpic as avatars on here. Maybe even have a friends list and chat box similar to Facebook?


Minigames
I'm not too sure on this one, but there could be a forum where users could submit their own minigames, or ones they have found, and discuss them, like high scores and things. There could be an off-site thing where users can actually make their own mini games and submit them. Maybe even have a 'mini game of the month' contest where the best minigame is picked from the admins and given a spotlight.



That's all I have so far, please no flaming please, my brain isn't really 100% So I apologize if none of this makes sense

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Brought up both idras, was flammed for them.

I do want a BUNGIE.NET friends list!!!

A friends list would be useful, it would be pretty similar to Facebook

Hello community, If you have any questions or concerns then please feel free to ask, whatever it may be and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge/ability. (It may not be THE answer you're looking for but AN answer is better than NO answer.)

KEEP CALM AND PLAY XBOX
Thank you.

We (entire community) should all just meet in a 24x22 room, jam-packed with no breathing room. Kinda like a sold out concert. I think that would be great!

I do like the idea of a b.net friends list. :3

Also, maybe embedding videos? I know the hyperlink thing works, but actually being able to view the videos right there in the thread would be cool

I think that linking the account to Xbox Live and PSN would be enough for Bungie.net; the friends feature would be definitely handy to keep in touch with a few favourite users of your own.

However, the groups and private messages already do that. Therefore there's no need for a Friend List feature; I think it's better to keep the social feeling close to what happens here, and the Xbox Live/PSN profiles.

I understand that many people use FaceBook, but I personally don't and I don't think that because of the sites popularity it should be integrated everywhere.

If you want to keep in touch with someone through FaceBook or any social network then simply add them to your profile by asking them.

Here is my youtube homepage. Be sure to visit and subscribe!

That would be cool.

You can only send PMs every 30 seconds, and you can't post straight away instantly, so a chat system would be better..

If you want Facebook features, use Facebook.

I like my Bnet like I like my women - clunky to use and old around the edges.

I'm all for adding social features but I don't like the idea of having to link to FB or some other site, sites I migth not have any interest in and don't want to feel forced to sign up on.

I'm indifferent when it comes to mini games since I have no personal interest in it.

Only after we ban Bricypoo.

I wouldn't want people here knowing my facebook. People would just stalk me like crazy cause of my amazing good looks.

Pretty much this, even though I already have a Facebook account :p

I didn't say Facebook linking was something you would HAVE to do, I said it should be an option. Plus you could hide it

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

HXC has a Friends List. Why the hell don't we?! They're also getting Private Groups from the looks of it! WE MUST BE BETTER! ADD THE FRIENDS LIST AND ADD MINIGAMES OF MARATHON AND SUCH!

People don't like the F word (Facebook).

It would be nice to have more social integraton in this site though.

30 seconds aren't that much of a delay; I believe it is the correct amount of time to make second thoughts and check-up your own reply towards the other person.

Think of it as the logic behind correspondence friendship.

It would be cool if you could crate your own Gamer pics.

Not so much create, but use your XBL/PSN Pic as an avatar here.

I would like visiting Bungie.net to cause my computer to shoot confetti out of the disk drive for every post I make.

Of course, they would have to be approved and strict rules and regulations would have to be laid down.

Overall, Bungie is not a social site. It is a game site where we can discuss as a community, our thoughts on the game. We have private groups for chatting with friends and chat systems would just take away from the activity of the forums.

If you wanna chat with your friends on the site, add them on Facebook, MSN or start a Tinychat room to chat in.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I thought it would be cool if they had Gnop! on the website. It could either be on the side of the screen or on a page.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I'm just waiting on that sent box being integrated into the main site, then I'll be set.
