**What is your opinion on member titles?

Member titles, in my opinion, are a great asset to this site. However there are some aspects of the system that I do not specifically like. Mostly due to the apparent randomness.

I myself would not be in favor of a ranking system (linear), as a discussion forum is not a competition.

What do you guys think?

While i like them it is pretty much inevitable that they will be taken away. I do enjoy my continuing contest with Kyuun on who will get to Mythic first. As for the titles themselves, i think they're fine how they are, and i love the randomness of it all.

In all honesty, Achronos should just tell us how the title system works.

I like having them as fun little trinkets that we don't really know that much about.

They're nothing too serious, but I do believe that they discourage rule-breaking, so they're fine with me.

The Community Forum has a great title although it really doesn't represented it at all.

The Flood's title is more misleading than the game forums, but less than the Community Forum.

I'm with Zoidberg on this. A lot of people don't care about member titles one way or the other, and that's fine. But I have seen enough posts and receive enouh messages about member titles to know that for some people, the titles serve as a motivator to stay within the rules. So the current system works for me.

Of course, a few days ago, Achronos said not to get too attached to the current member title system, so I think it is safe to say that at least some changes are in store for us in the future. Hopefully they will address some of the more recurring issues people have against member titles. Or he'll just get rid of them completely ;-)

The Halo series was my first and favorite FPS series.
I enjoy most games throughout all systems despite what some people say.

Oh, and on the forums, I tell it like it is, like it or not.

Titles are really just there to tell you how long somebody has been active on the site. While it is up for open interpretation, it doesn't really mean a whole lot.

  • 11.04.2011 7:04 PM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I think they're just lovely as they are. My alternating blue/gray top hat is smashing.

Although if you have coup titles just become non-existent.

They're fine the way they are. But, I wouldn't mind a few new ones for Senior Members.

You should really combine the two, I think they would make a nice color combination.

On topic, I don't mind them. They really don't affect me in any way, so I don't see the harm in them.

  • 11.04.2011 7:27 PM PDT

Key

I think they're good but we need to add one after Mythic. Ancient. And then if you get the qualifications to get what would be "Exalted Ancient" you get "Grizzled Ancient". Maybe... I don't know... 6 years on the site (while active) without handicaps from bans/warnings? Yeah, that sounds good.

Looking for clan that isn't too serious? Then join the ODST 501st Airborne Battalion. Go to http://www.501st.forumclan.com for more info.

I think they're just fine. I wouldn't want them to be more like ranks. The comedy in the titles is what Bungie is, comedic. However, I would kill to have my own title that Bungie let me have.

Yes. I clearly wasn't thinking straight.

  • 11.04.2011 8:24 PM PDT

We believe that the universe is unbounded: this is not the same as infinite: the 2-D surface of a sphere, wrapped around a 3rd dimension, has a finite size, but has no end. If you start off in a given direction on the surface of a sphere, you could return to your start point without having to turn around -- you simply go all the way around. But wouldn't that mean the universe has an escape velocity like the earth?

IMO, you should have pushed your idea for title rewards as incentives to reach a higher ranks, especially the special forum idea :L.

Well I was thinking, due to the fact the game they are working on will most likely be cross platform (PS3 & Xbox360?), chances are they will use a method other than WLID for log-ins. As an extension, I predict (more so estimate) they will change the forum software, and also remove/change the member title system. Hence asking for a broader opinion from people who have been here longer than myself.

(2 years today, btw!)

RIP Halo 2

They are the be all and the end all of this community. Without tiers, the forums would fall into a dark abyss.

To be completely honest, the only reason I don't have a bunch of alts anymore or break rules is because I like having this title and using this account. Once the titles go away, I'll either stop posting or stop caring. Maybe not, though.
