This has no relevance to anything at all.
I don't see it ever being a useful feature for THESE forums.

I can kind of see what you're getting at, but it just wouldn't work. Conversation between more than 2 people would be almost unintelligible. It would be like watching a video meeting where the screen was blacked out, and everyone wore identical masks/voice changers.


Plus there's the potential for mischief; people could pose as others and say nasty things.

Hey Last.

Imagine if someone pretended to be the official 251st account and posted a bunch of spam and trolling threads. Oh wait... that happened.

Classifieds would be fun, everyone could just post in everyone else's threads.

Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

Yeah, I remember that.

But maybe the classifieds might actually get some attention :D

There is a difference between removing the hierarchy between users and being completely anonymous. You don't want the latter.

Hey everyone, rather than leaving real responses to the OP, let's scorn him and spread our worthless opinions about his posting habits and how we feel about them. Then everyone will know I'm cool.

OT: Actually, that's not a bad idea for a script. Just posts, no name, no nothin'.

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

It seems that every day that I'm on here, Hoobla has some bright idea that he'd like to share with us.

Keeping the Community forum active, one idea at a time...

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

Such a pointless idea. When you used to the word 'bias' I chuckled a bit, because this a website for recreation purposes. I'm beginning to think some people are taking bungie.net too seriously.

Per Audacia Ad Astra

The forums would look to bland to me, and I would never use it.

  • 06.08.2012 8:50 AM PDT

Basically, I make the best topics ever.

Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.

I never really wanted Bungie to add this feature, I just wanted to know what you guys thought about it.
Hey guys, a thought entered my brain. NEW TOPIC.

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.

You obviously didn't think this out for even 5 seconds. Look at sites like 4chan who have implemented your idea, they "forums" are completely different in nature because of the anonymity of the posters. The Bungie.net forums are not imageboards, here we care about family safe discussion and value to our accounts.

Hey guys, let's be like this cool cat. He's making fun of people for bringing up a completely legitimate point that the OP makes pointless threads about not-so-fleshed-out ideas. I want to be ctjl96 when I grow up.

And, as a response to your OT: This is a community we have here. Not just a group of people discussing things based around a common theme. Taking away usernames, avatars, etc. would ruin that community and get rid of lots of the meaning behind the site.

This is a social network. Social networks can't function without identity.

Well played. For the record, that note wasn't there before. I didn't however, notice the name change in the original quote.

  • 06.08.2012 9:52 AM PDT

Really? No other site that i've ever been on have suggestions from members for titles/ranks/avatars/ect to be turned off. What is it with this site? I don't get it? Who gives a damn?! Not me. I say no.

(IMHO)

  • 06.08.2012 10:34 AM PDT

Even better idea: How about we blank out what everyone says and just show usernames and avatars? Amirite?

  • 06.08.2012 10:39 AM PDT

Online ID: GriffGraff15

That would make it difficult to follow along with the posts.

  • 06.08.2012 10:45 AM PDT

Tin shacks and catfish bones.

I'm trying to think of an idea that is even worse.

I'll post it when I think of it.

  • 06.08.2012 10:52 AM PDT

User 1:
I like this idea

User 2:
Yeah same, be better if though..

User 1:
thats a good point

User 3:
Trolbag

User 1:
Who said that?

User 4:
Me


..the point is that the forums would be a mess.
