How you comin' on that novel?

First and foremost, I apologize if this has been a previous topic that has been discussed fully, I was unware.

The question is why we as Bungie.net members can't have images in our signatures, to put sigs (like the one I have a link to). I am a member of a variety of forums, and most of them allow for images. Is Bungie afraid that explicit images will be put in signatures? I believe this can be avoided if Bungies moderators use a no tolerance punishment.

its like a large force of win going through fusion, thus creating a chain reaction of a huge asplosion of win destroying any fail within its awesomeness.

Will never happen. Same case with custom avatars. Many members of Bungie are too immature to handle images. Some kid is going to thinks it's funny to put an inappropriate image in their sig, which is why it's never going to happen. It's already bad enough without image capabilities, with all the people linking to shock sites. Not to mention it would take up to much space in the servers, slowing down loading speed.

Something to do with people's asses.

and it would take awhile to load the pages in a thread with 25 pictures of different sizes in it.

Yes, that is a reason why there are no images in signatures. Another one may be that it would take a while to load Page that has 25 users with large images in the signature.

I believe this can be avoided if Bungies moderators use a no tolerance punishment.


There are only 20 something mods and over a million members. It's bad enough when someone makes a link to an inapriote image. I don't want to think about what would happen if a few spammers put those images in their signatures and started spamming the forums.

This is bungie.net. If they let images anywhere, there would be millions of boobies floating around the screen at any given time. Not saying that's bad for me, but for the younger viewers, that would be innapropriate.

I can't and won't happen for one reason. Some people are too immature to be able to have custom avatars and post pictures in their sig. Some guy would probably post -blam!- or even worse the very minute it happened.

Yeah, thats what i suspected, thanks guys. I don't know how they keep all the explicit pictures and loading times down on halo3forum.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

Images in signatures...that would be nice, but there are a few reasons why not.

Spammers and shock sites. We've all gone to the thread where some new member says "look, proof of aliens!" or something, and the link turns out to be one to lemon party or some other site. Already this is a problem, but if members were allowed to upload images, it would be even worse...this time, you couldn't even preview the link; it would just smack you in the face.

OK, you say, but there are so many good users who are missing out! Well, yes there are, but think about it. There are 1 million or so users on Bungie.net. Now, most are not active, bu twe can safely assume about 3/4 or so will upload pictures for signatures, avatars, posts, etc....this will slow loading times considerably and clog up the servers, something nobody wants to happen. So, chances are slim that we will ever have custom signatures and avatars.

Signature Images have got to be the most assinine item I have ever seen; is there a point to juxtapositioning your name by a picture? It's stupid, and would ruin Bungie.net's clean interface.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Isn't a signature a way to end your post with style?

Good to see at least somebody takes this place seriously

I am sincerely disappointed in everyone except JIMH. JIMH, have a gold star.

People couldn't handle different colored text. They wouldn't be able to handle entire pictures. It is bad enough that people write half a page in there signature. I wouldn't want to scroll down pages of pictures with three words attached to them...Then again pictures might help the many people with ADD on this site.

The 500 characters in the signature is probably to help out those people using hyperlinks.

With B.B. gone, the passion of Bungie.net has lessened.

Bungie won't put them in. As cool as it would be to have them, on an official video-game-making company forum it's just too much work. Many more mods would have to be picked to do the job, and there simply aren't enough people that would be good for it.

Images mess up forums, and make them look tacky. When your signatures are bigger than your posts, it doesn't look good.

Fortunately, images here will never happen; in posts or sigs. =)

-S

1) Because image sigs suck.
2) Because it's a pain in the ass to have to moderate images as well as forum posts
3) I just wanted to point out that image sigs suck again.
4) We don't need users inundating the website with images.

Yeah, just imagine all the stuff people would have and having to scroll through all the pages on Bungie as a moderator. Stewie holding pistols, Possibly racial things, stupid and pointless images that wouldn't violate any conduct codes but would be terrible to look at, etc..... If you want your image in your sig, make a link to it, and make a big link in quoted text.......If someone wants, they can look at it, but don't have to.
