Subject: Pinning/Unpinning Threads [Will the Nameplates Be Removed from Bnet?]

I just realized that the Official Thread for Nameplate Unlock Support thread was locked and unpinned yesterday, I assume because Bungie doesn't manage Halo anymore etc. This would indicate, as Ken pointed out, that the Nameplate changing may not be available to us here on Bnet for much longer.

Is there any sort of vote taken before these threads are pinned/unpinned, do you think? Do you think there should be, or do you feel that a Mod should be able to pin whatever?

Thoughts on the possible removal of Nameplate customization from Bnet?

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

I think like you said Bungie is done with Halo. I think that means nameplates may leave us soon. :'(

I'm sure that someone talked to someone before it was unpinned.

I don't really care, as long as it's a good decision; and it was.

If there is a vote then it doesn't happen here. It is most likely done in HFCS or just between the Webteam itself.

Good point. Better idea for a thread.

I'll go with what drummer said in terms of the "voting" idea.

As for the potential removal of nameplate customization from Bungie.net, I'm fine with it. After all, nameplates are for Halo: Reach, a game which 343i now maintain. It would seem rather odd to have to go back to Bungie.net just for something as small as nameplate customization.

Good point. Can you still mess with your Nameplate from here? I've never tried since Bungie went dark.

I think the whole "wait and see" method will have to come into effect.

Currently, yes.

If the the nameplates were to be removed, it would probably just be off of Bungie.net. I am not sure if halo.xbox has an option to change your nameplate, but if it does not, then that would probably change.
