Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

So...come Halo 3, what cool new features might you like to see here on this site? People usually discuss the neat new things that Halo 3 should have, but howbout things that Bungie could add to make this site cooler, and more integrated with Halo 3, and Xbox Live?

I'd like to see many things..some of whiche are:

A "Friends List" of sorts on Bungie.net, so you and friends could communicate easier Online, rather than needing to form groups to do so.

An "Online Icon" similar to what myspace uses..so you could see if a person is Online in the forums/Xbox Live to try and contact them..

The ability to send a friend request to a person, so long as your gamertag is linked to Bungie.net.

The ability to show a certain number of PM's per page (Ex. 10, 20, 30, 50, etc.)

The ability for forum-goers to 'delete' and/or 'lock' threads...err, or just 'push them back' to page two with a voting system. So many times, people will create and re-create stupid threads. I mean, look at half the main front page..

---I think that somewhere around 2/3 of the people other than the topic starter (who could be filtered by IP addresses, or account names..or both) would need to vote to get rid of the topic, leaveing more room for good topic like this one. =] ---

Howbout the Forum skin..does the light blue on light-ish blue annoy anyone else? I think that the tables should be darker, and the text even lighter..but that's just me..

A "Halo Movie" and "Halo Literature" Forum sections...Once Halo 3 is released, many people from Mombasa, and the former Zanzibar will turn this into a flame, and spam fest about derankers, and saying how much they hate Bungie for the gameplay changes.

A spot under your name to place your gamertag, and a link to your stats so you wouldn't have to take up so much sig-space to put it there...

More options for our profiles, like adding a personal picture, fav. weapons/,aps/games and such...the option of doing html in the "about me" section..
---People who put in "naughty pictures" and such would have their IP's banned from accessing Bungie.net.---

The ability to quote people from a locked thread..


So..those are some of my ideas, howbout you guys' ideas?

Updated 2:04 am Est..time for bed....

Oh, I thought you meant Halo 3 not Bungie, anyway, you should be able to import your gamercard like on xbox.com.

That would be nice..I think that they already do that, so long as you have a gamercard on your linked gamertag..but it's not very user-friendly =/

I'll check back on this tomorrow afternoon..night night people.

Cool, my own little box!

Wow. Nice ideas, the only one I'm not too sure of is the personal picture one, its kinda like matchmaking on Xbox live, no matter how many times you ban a cheater, they will keep cheating (with the 2 month trial cards). People may "abuse" that part. But other than that I agree!

Well, they'd just keep getting their computers banned...myspace has a computer thing that scans all incoming uploaded photos...so why not Bungie? =/

Theyd be banned in a few hours..maybe settings could be applied so that ou could only see the pictures if you are logged in, and you could also choose to hide all user pictures, or just show friends' pictures, etc.


Okay, I'm really going to bed this time, lol.

I feel that your forum-XBL identity should be easier to customize. What if you have a new account and your old one isnt working? It is incredibly difficult to get your forum name to re-link up with your gamertag.

I feel it should be entered in text in your settings, and then linked to the appropriate tag. It would be easier to change your settings.

It sucks cause it's impossible to link your tag to two different email accounts...but I'd love the ability for Xbox Live to allow you to link all of your accounts to your main e-mail address or something..

And then we should be allowed to change the letters in our names' case..so yo ucould turn "MLG Cheehwawa" into "mlg CHEEHWAWA" or something like this, free of charge, and without making a whole new account..
