Owning Noobs Since 05

This is what the website would look like. *shivers* cats everywhere. Is that what you guys want?

One thing that makes me like Bungie.net is how clean and crispy it looks. To me that picture looks nasty. I've been to websites where they have custom avatars and it looks horrible.

I liked Delta 15t's idea, where the webteam would put avatars for different titles. That way the website would still look nice and people would kind of get a special avatar.

Do you guys think Bungie.net would look trashy with custom avatars?

It already has custom avatars. Its called coup.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

You can make your own emblems in the Halo games; people tend to overlook that. Anyways, complete customization could result in profanity.

I was a huge supporter of custom avatars, or at least avatars of player captured pictures from in-game. Any-way Coup kind of changed that for me, so now I just use that with my custom set-up.

I do however still feel users should be able to create there own custom-avatars from in-game pictures. Similar to how they were able to create avatars with their emblems. Hopefully Bungie's next game will allow such a feature.

Anyway, no I think it'd look just fine, but there should be a limit to what "custom" means.

Oh and yeah, too much coup DOES look nasty. having a bunch of different colors from peoples background DOES NOT mesh well.

Better idea: replace all the existing avatars with different cat pictures.

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

How about we don't -blam!- with the current avatar and title system other than adding more?

Hell one of the reasons why I like the Bungie forums so much is because of the lack of custom stuff. If you want that use coup.

They overlook it because you can't make and change it on b.net and more.

Still, anyone who did use their in game emblem pretty much has a custom avatar.

I like most the avatars we currently have, but I wouldn't mind having some custom avatars either.

I thought about talking about that on the OP but I didn't. Emblem avatars look nice and they are for the most part unique. My point is if we could have custom avatars (pictures/gif etc..) The website wouldn't look good. Right now with the emblem avatars the website still looks classy.

Bah, humbug! We should remove the avatars and instead use the 90x90 pixel space for advertising and marketing.

I feel that custom avatars can be used as an incentive for positive behavior.

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

I would love to have custom avatars! Bungie would not look trash, if they expand their moderation towards people of the "Community" that have shown great respect towards the septagon and Bungie! More mods equals, more clean and perfect!

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 agree. The requirements should be pretty strict though, maybe you have to have an account more than 4 years old or something.

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

So, your photoshop is what the website would look like? That isn't exactly an argument. At all.

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

awww that is precious, cats make everything better.

I fail to see any problems OP.

I like having a gallery to choose from. I'd prefer that over custom avatars.

It's bad enough we have avatars in the first place.

If we're going to have forum avatars I don't see why custom avatars aren't allowed. Whether something is trashy or not is entirely subjective. While you may consider cats to be trashy, I in fact consider most of the current avatars available to be trashy. If they can be permitted, I see no reasoning to exclude custom ones.

Being upset by other users avatars is almost as childish as being upset by their posts. While the website design may have a professional look, most of the posts here are far from professional. If anything, permitting unprofessional avatars would alleviate some of the veiled perceptions certain users have of this site.

I say we replace all of the current avatars with cat avatars.

I consider my Avatar to be a custom Avatar :)
