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

If someone has taken the time, put in the effort and has been consistent in building an online persona, I tend to remember and recognize some names and people (actually, I recognize more than I imagined I would care to).

But it does take time and persistence.

Those who have the persistence and take the time, but jump between accounts/names/alts? No idea who any of them are, because the fact is that anyone could (and many do) "claim" to be someone infamous... and honestly, there's no way to know (or be bothered) to care "who is who" in that situation.

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

So do you not care too much about alts of banned users?

Stop banning me please.

People should also realize that having an online persona is basically advertising that you are some what of a loser. Can't really generalize but still.

That is kind of harsh, I don't think I am a loser. I also know a few people IRL who use Bungie.net.

You can have an online persona without spending your whole life designing it. I think.

Doesn't apply for everyone but it does for me. At least for the moment. I'm working on it.

  • 01.06.2013 12:31 PM PDT

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

I recognize almost everyone in the community forum. That is persistent in posting here.

To me, an account is an account. Unless and until that account posts, I know nothing about it or the person on the other end of it.

If that person then makes a post that is rule breaking, or references that they are "back from the dead"? Then I care, and remove that account.

I've had the same conversation with those who want or tried the path of infamy. At any time, they can make another account and simply try the "light side" path (I know it sounds too Jedi with the dark/light side nonsense but really, that sort of applies) and I couldn't tell their "latest attempt" from any other new member who is doing their best to find a comfortable and fun niche within this community.

Hell Ken, you "could" be a reformed disruptor, I couldn't know and wouldn't care. If you were to ever say, "I am/was actually _____" though, and I remembered that account, I would ban you for ban evasion (by attempting to come back and retain that infamy). But no link, no claim, no attempt to get some sort of "boost" from their former bad-boy days? A friendly and contributing member is just that, nothing less and nothing more.

Well, some people have online work like for example(I think), the chrlie guy. He just posts between his work duties. I wouldn't call him a no lifer.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

I recognize a fair amount of them, though I would say I know far more people in the Community than the Flood.

Same, I doubt that many people recognise me through as I tend to float between the two forums too much

I wouldn't call anyone a no lifer, ever. Everyone makes their own decisions how they want to spend their time on this planet.

I recognize most members in the Community Forum and some regulars in the Flood when I go visit there to laugh.

Saying that people are 'no lifers' for posting on a forum (in there spare time); for posting in their own way (thus developing an online persona) is arguably saying that people who post on Facebook in an excess are also 'no lifers' - theres no such thing in both, just people who have spare time in-between their regular day to day lives that like to check into either the community, discussions or their friends (which is a comparable feature between both Facebook and the forums)

Yes of course, there are several members that I recognize on a daily basis, especially here in the Community.

  • 01.06.2013 12:46 PM PDT

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

I recognize maybe half the people in the Community Forum. The Flood will have a lot of people I recognize too, it's just so many random people post there.

  • 01.06.2013 12:51 PM PDT

I recognise a lot of people on these forums, although "most" is probably pushing it.

I still see new people (for me) almost everyday.... mostly all are legendary and mythic...

However I do recognize members here... and how they post, and what they might think.

Bungie doesn't like French on their site.

Only a few people. Mostly Legendary or Mythic. Some members from pvt. groups I'm in.

I know most of the common folk in this forum. That's it.

  • 01.06.2013 12:58 PM PDT

On this forum? Yes. On The Flood? Not even close.

  • 01.06.2013 1:00 PM PDT

Most? No. But i recognize a lot of people.
