Subject: Would custom avatars improve the site?

Maybe Bungie will make an update containes a terrible flaw and causes you xbox to explode leaving nothing but a black outline where it used to be.

Shhhhhh. That one is still in development.

I hear the best it can manage right now is a small fire. Exploding hardware may sound easy, but they're really hard to code.


Don't click

Well yes of course. Who would like to have a p'enis as an avatar. I know I would

Facts are the enemy of tru7h....

Lets face it, if you give people something to abuse they'll abuse it. Custsom Avatars are no different.

I like bungies restrictions, no custom avatars, no images etc... it means the forums can be actual forums, not just poster boards for the latest image that you find funny/witty/cool or whatever...

Switch my vote to a NO. I just realized people could have disgusting avatars. (i.e. cortana stripping)

Been asked multiple times (if we had a search option this wouldn't happen as often) And Achronos himself said no.
We should have more avatars available (officially) the limited number per members is crazy. Even with online ones now.

They should have a place where you can send in submissions for avatars.

That way we can get some more because About 50+ people have mine(I have theirs)

2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If everyone got a custom avatar, what fun would it be for the people that get ranked to mods or theme masters?

Besides everyone would have abusive avatars... Maybe Bungie should update there list of avatars...maybe a pirate avatar or a ninja?

How about moderator approved avatars? That'd be fun.... right? :|

It might be dangerous... someone figured out how to make a gamertag symbol look like a winky with Da Bomb... custom avatars could lead to... problems.

Sumbit them to the link that Recon posted. Moderators don't need to be flooded with avatar requests in their inbox. Besides, I'm sure some people would send the moderators dirty images that no one needs to see.

Not for us.

Imagine wading though thousands of member submitted avatars consisting mostly of photos of their naughty bits.

*shudder*

I would put in for hazard-duty pay.


I beat you to the punch Recon. ;)

It'd be fun for a change to have some different avatars but if Bungie says no, then i'm cool with it.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Get an xbox live account... link it to your B.net account... voila! Custom avatar for two months at least! It isn't that hard.

I think the poll speaks for itself.

Actually, you can technically make a custom avatar now. If you have an Xbox Live account, you can use the 'picture' on that as your avatar. Choose what you want, and change it as you wish.
