Subject: [color=red]**LOCKED**[/color] (Going back to the past)

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

Seeing as how the site is pretty slow and the universe forum being even slower. I Decided to dig back into the past. So I clicked the double arrow at the top of the Universe page and it sent me back to two thousand and four. I selected this topic randomly and now I have some questions.

Did Bungie use to have a post counter for each profile?

And what is "[color=red]**LOCKED**[/color]"?

Is that how you used to lock forums?

When does Bungie delete accounts so that they appear as "Anonymous User (Deleted)"?

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

No, it was to change the color of the text, a feature we lack.

1) For a very short time.

2) The forums used to allow for colored text markups. It wasn't for locking, it was for coloring your text. That was before Gold, Salmon, Green, etc. were reserved for particular roles.

3) Account deletion used to be automated and based on a period of non-use. That system has been disabled as of this time.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

- Not sure, possibly before the second hawtness but I haven't a clue.

- We used to be able to use colored text, but some people abused it.

- Account deletion hasn't been active for a while, but it did take 1 year to delete an unused profile.

Edit: Recon is a meanie head!

I hated it when people put the time in to change every single letter a different color... "Hey, don't waste your money on acid, come to Bungie.net".

Superintendent Class AI.

We've firewalled all of them that we know of, but they are capable of running a city. So if one wants in and onto the forums, it will get in. Sooner or later.

Oh snap. Does this mean that they're smart now and know more than just protocol?

  • 12.29.2011 10:51 AM PDT

Who the hell do you think I am?

They should bring back the post counter and the option to color your text. Those would be pretty cool things to have.

  • 12.29.2011 10:56 AM PDT

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

I dunno man, he seemed like he might be a few bricks short of a load. There's tonnes of instances of him having entire conversations with himself.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I would like to see the return of the post counter. The coloured text on the other hand....eh I'm not so sure of. I can see it being abused, and with Coup n' all it would kind of be redundant. But from what I've heard, people are saying Coup won't work with the next site up date.

Does anyone have solid information on that or is it just rumor?

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

I tweet?

Achronos made a small statement in a thread regarding coup that more or less suggested that significant changes to Bungie.net (a new hawtness) could/would render coup nonfunctional.

Sadly, one of my old accounts was deleted before this feature was removed.

Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

To go along with what everyone else said, we use to be able to post pictures directly too. However, much like the colored text, it became an eyesore.

That I didn't know.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I believe employees still have the ability to post pictures, and that it is possible for normal members to do also, but you have to do a bunch of shenanagins. Also you are most likely to become banned if you do post a pic.

There used to be a site exploit where you could, but that was fixed. Also, only Employees with Community-related jobs can use the [IMG] tag; I guess Achronos holds it in high regard. :P

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I hated colored text. When Zanzibar learned how to use it...my eyes wanted to jump out of their sockets and commit seppuku with a tire iron.

Oh, and Stosh was just doing that to show emphasis that he was locking it. Its too bad he doesn't post much anymore. Stoshisms need a triumphant return.

I wouldn't mind a redux of the post counter.
