Subject: There should be a list that show's who's online

As long as there is still an option to lurk anonymously
Basically this. Just give an option to "appear offline" just like Xbox Live. I don't care enough to let people know when I'm online.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

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

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

Friend's List and being able to see who is online sounds like a good idea.

Bad idea, then all the forums would be like the Classifieds.

Also, how was OP's profile name not taken YEARS ago?

turn the friends list idea into a community project lol.

I ♥ Bungie!

I vote no on this one, they are "ninjas", they need to be kept hidden.

I would love something like this feature to be added to bnet. It would be very useful in private groups and on the main forums.

Swag punks, fu­­ck off!

I dislike this idea.

Check out my Soundcloud account to hear some of my music.
Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

We don't have a "Who's online" list because we don't need to know who's online.

Services like MSN messenger and Xbox Live show you an online/friends list because they are supposed to be quick use services, i.e I want a response/ game in the next 5 minutes or I'll do something else.

The forums are more like a very open email service. Imagine the OP's post is an email sent to every user on the site. When someone replies, the email is again sent to everyone on the site, but with another comment attached to it. We don't need to know who's online when sending an email because it's not about the time taken for a reply but the discussion within.

The other thing I don't like about this idea is the way it will highlight forum activity. It's not hard to figure out which forums are dead, but this feature would give reliable evidence on which forum has no users on it. Making spam attacks all the easier on the dead forums. But who exactly are you trolling in a dead forum? Nobody.

Although, I'm not completely against the idea.

That would really only be useful is Bungie.net had IM, which it does not.

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

If anything there should be a counter in corner of each page on the site that shows ''XXX members online''.
