Subject: An Idea for Account Birthdays. (It's my BNET Birthday!)

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

I tweet?

I think a nice birthday message should display in a pop up after you log in, spelling out Bungie's appreciation that you've stuck around for yet another wasted year and a suggestion that you go out and get some sun. Then as soon as you click "Okay", which is the only way to close the pop up, you are then immediately locked out of your account for some "outside activity time" for 24 hours.

I think it's a cool idea. Some people lie about their Bdays though.

What a hipster.

How does that happen? He's referring to Bnet Birthdays. When you click on someones profile there's a space stating when they joined. He's suggesting making a little "something" noticeable when you sign in on your creation day. It would be automatic, trust wouldn't really be an issue.

I misread, I am dumd.

Just had my actual Bday, and probably forgot any other sort of Bday existed.

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000
x0x 0x0 0x0 0xx 000 0x0 000
x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

It would be fun to have some sort of Birthday recognition.

What about a unique title? For the whole day you could have a unique title. My idea is that the word "Birthday" (or something else) would replace your base title (Legendary, Heroic, Mythic). Since our titles can already be defined by color, we don't need that word there to tell us.

I'd be a "Intrepid Birthday Member". :D

Also, to avoid people just creating accounts to juice the title, it will NOT work on the day you sign up.

Hello, I'm Mr AwesomePizza. I like pizza and I'm a man. Reasoning for the name. I like to listen to the classics of music, write poetry, play video games, and much much more. I'm always down for a nice chat, so please hit me up for some conversation.

I like explosion of confetti more.

I like it. The user should also be sent a Bungie inspired cake! (while supplies last of course)

Digital or real? If real, they'd run out in the first month. Each day it's about five people BNET birthday. Even though I would love to have an awesome cake.

I like this idea. But you could always use Bungie.me.

Why not have the Soul send users a message on their birthday? Something creepy yet also celebratory. I think it could work.

My B-Day is on the after-math of Bungie Day shenanigans. And doesn't Bungie.me put account birthdays on the home page?

  • 10.15.2011 9:28 AM PDT

Not a bad idea acualy... I guess it just goes down to the technical element of it.

Its a pretty good idea. But, you may need to talk to someone about this. And I'm surprised, I've been here since 5.25.10 and I wasn't aware that you could rank up so fast.

It does, but it's so dull. Also, not all of Bungie.net uses Bungie.me.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

If this website is going to be programmed to wish me a happy birthday, I'd rather it be on my actual birthday as opposed to an arbitrary day I happened to create an account.

So what I'm saying is, I'm hoping Soul posts on my facebook wall next year.

I wonder if foman will ban you for this thread.

Probably not, because, I guess he does know how to moderate consistently.

No matter how good your idea is it will be rejected by Acrhonos to save himself from looking bad.

Why would he ban me?

He wouldn't.

Why? What did I do that warrants me to be banned?

  • 10.15.2011 12:03 PM PDT

Because he banned me for making a similar thread. Infact, he banned me for making lots of threads that never warranted bans. If there was any consistency or justice in this forum then you would be awarded the same fate, but because I have a nice blue bar next to my username anything I post suddenly becomes hyper-applicable to a failure in my following the rules.
