Wow, people I thought were awesome are seriously trying to get in on this?
Look at this kid's OP. He's only doing this because he "wants to do a community project". What is this a -blam!- high school final? You want to do this, you don't feel you need to? You don't feel that it's necessary, but you want to do it anyways because it's easy and you think it's a good contribution? This is on par of your average pop artist putting songs out just to put songs out.
A real community project is something that takes real work and thought. It's something we can all benefit from for as long as it will prove to be relevant, and that will make this community a little bit of a better place. Bungie.me is a community project. Duardo's thread on titles is a community project. Komark's info thread was a real project. Mapping World Domination is a real project. I hate to say it, but even Coup is a community project. (pray that Achronos can take that stupid -blam!- down forever in the next overhaul)
This is not a real community project. This is a crappy looking name collage that has the vibe or feel of anything but something you'd see on bungie.net. A grey inner glow? Really? That -blam!- looks disgusting. And what's with that font? I almost vomited when I saw that. And what about usefulness? How is this going to be useful in about 5-10 years? We look back on it and see a bunch of names that newkids won't know or care about? This ain't a mother-blam!- sentimental bawfest over who won't be here and who won't be here...if I want to really remember somebody from these forums, I will talk to them and interact with them in a way that when I stop seeing them, I have funny memories and conversations to remember them by, not a jenk looking image with their name in pretty rainbow colors on it.
If anything this is just a goddamn image form of Bricy's thread, which is barely useful, making this thread even more useless. I could take every name from his thread, throw them on a 3k by 3k pixel image with a lightened faint and dark blue 7th column logo in front of this for the background, throw a radial rainbow color overlay over all of the names and get something going even better than what you've got.
Of course, you know, it's all just my opinion. >_>
