#1 Legendary ODST Firefight Highscore

[UNINTELLIGIBLE > INSUBORDINATION(?)]

I rely on them heavily. For example, During the statistic transfer, when everyone was switched to webmaster, I couldn't recognize anyone. What about you?

Exclusively, save Community Forum people.

Just yesterday some guy in the Halo: Reach forum was like, 'You know exactly who I am' and I said... 'No. I genuinely have no idea who you are.'

Because I don't know names. Ah well.

Spread the love...

I rely on them a lot too. Although I'm pretty good with names too.

More than I think I do. If it's unique, like an emblem, I'll probably recognize the OP's throughout a thread.

I used to think I recognize people by their name, but this really told me that I pretty much only use avatars to recognize people.

Mainly for users like HOOB or taco man, who I've seen a lot of for a long time, or if they make a lot of good posts.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.

I recognize and rely on avatars more, when I'm scrolling down a thread it's easier to see an avatar than read a username.

Theme Builder 4.1 is out for Bungie.net!

Theme Builders

Sometimes I recognize someone by their avatar before I read their post, but it wasn't like that before when these forums were crowded.

Whenever I see the red elite, I think of MyNameIsCharlie, and whenever I see the mustache grenade, I think of BurritoSenior

Edit: Hey, I was right about Burrito!

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

No one knows me, I could have an avatar picture of a peepee and no one would notice.

  • 05.08.2012 5:55 PM PDT

Bomb and a Mustache? Must be Burrito.

  • 05.08.2012 5:55 PM PDT

I always think it's me posting too. That's why I get a little feisty when other people use it, because I look in threads and can't recall making those posts or ever having entered that thread.

I'm to change my avatar to yours now just to spite.

  • 05.08.2012 5:58 PM PDT

Mostly I recognize people by their avatar in private groups. I kinda just lurk on the mains.

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

Yes I do.

Sometimes I'll change mine just to throw people off.

I was looking at a thread with you two in The Gathering when this change happened. My mind physically exploded.
