My name is Alt, but you can call me Sven.

A thought occurred to me today; The title bar's above our posts are fairly empty. I was thinking it'd be cool to allow for some customization after the title or replace it completely. You could display some additional information alongside your "trust" and "pseudonym". One that immediately came to mind is location.

I think having the location of users displayed would make them more real. They're not just 700 x 100 pixel box, they're a person. You could get an idea of the scope of Bungie's reach just by scrolling through any of the forum topics. Additionally, I could see a rise in location based chapters. If a user chose to display their location, recruiters for location based Chapters will be able to find them easily.

Just a thought.

Would you support a system like this? What would you want displayed next to your title?

I don't think many people would actually want their location on display here, but it wouldn't hurt as an option I suppose.

Your location used to be visible under your GT on your profile page. That was during the Halo: 3 era.

I don't really mind/care if that's visible as I could easily remove it.

Honestly, I feel like that would be better suited to a profile field view-able on our Profile pages. I really liked the nameplate/titlebar idea from a while back.

Anyway, I feel that if implemented, your idea could help bring the community together by further enforcing that we are not just avatars and text, but real people who live all over the place and who've grouped together for whatever reason (Bungie, Halo, etc.).

There's a lot of space available for some, and not much for others.

As an example, let's say antony (second post here) was an Exalted Legendary Member from Albuquerque, NM.

Bye.

It seems like a cool idea to add something personal to the title bar but I don't think location would go down too well in the community. People value their privacy.

Also, while you have a relatively short username, others have quite long usernames and member titles which make adding more info to the title bar cumbersome. If you were to add anything and have equal space for everyone it would be best, I think, to go under the avatar.

Ah, yes. That didn't occur to me.

Maybe title would be one of the options. You'll still retain the color of your bar and it's implied meaning while displaying what you want to project. Some want to show they've never been banned or post frequently. Some want to show their location. I think we should be given that choice.

Titlebars? No.

Top hats? Yes.

  • 07.13.2012 6:23 PM PDT

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

I see nothing about top hats in the OP.

You tricked me!

Titlebars? No.

Top hats? Yes.

Hooray!

I disagree with the usage of the term top hats, as top hats are fancy hats and as such should be restricted to Mythic Members, being as we are the upper class of this site.

Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.

*puts away monocle*

So guys, what is going on in here? I thought that we were talking about fashion or something.

LOOK REECON IS FUNNY



I could be down with that, but probably not, I think that it's clean and simple enough right now.

What if you could choose between a set of different types of information?

Would the site retain its cohesion or do you think it would break?

I ♥ Bungie!

I guess it's not a bad idea, and as antony said it's not bad as an option.
