I think something should get done to the Gallery, the News, the Voting Booth and the Classifleds.

Nothing gets done to them, and they need work done to them.

What part needs to be fixed?

  • 08.08.2006 7:00 AM PDT

The News and The Classifieds are fine, its the Voting Booth and Gallery which need fixing. Mainly activity-wise though.

I said a few. Which means being more than one but still considered a small number. 20 months is quite large.

The Gallery would be so cool with new pictures. I so hope they add some.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

Wow. I just want to point something out about this thread. I was reading the replies, and half of it is spam. I don't even think people realized it, either.

First off, the first post is quite vauge, but I can live with that. Saying "They need work done to them." sounds like an order. A suggestion might be worthwhile to include. Mabye throw in an idea as to how they can be used?

Now, look at this.

I've never understood this. Why do people quote what others say word for word and not add anything of your own? Why even bother posting at all?

Again. You're just starting a quote pyramid. You're not really adding anything. You're just taking up posts. There isn't any post counter on this site, which is why I find this so puzzling. Why quote word for word and not add anything?

Sorry to those I offended. I'm just trying to make a point.

Now, onto the issue at hand. Yes, something should be done to the Gallery and Voting Booth. I'd like to see some poll on what new Bungie Merchendise should go into the store. That helps Bungie and helps us; they sell more, we get what we want in the store! The Voting Booth might also be nice for community issues. Member Since Dates being removed is one issue that comes to mind. Originally, I thought it was a good idea, but I've changed my mind. Mabye Achronos would like to see what the majority thinks? These are just suggestions

Now the Gallery. This forum has so much promise. I hate to see it wasting away. It really makes Bungie seem more community oriented. How much effort would it take on their part? An hour of searching for the winner, half an hour to find a worthy picture? I mean, it doesn't seem like it would be very difficult. So all in all, I agree. Something really should be done, or they should be removed. It's sort of like dangling some food in front of a dog for a minute, then not giving any to it. Sort of.

Look, we all know that something needs to be done with those forums. But this is like the 100th thread about it. When Achronos and his internet-monkeys have something to show us, we'll know about it.

  • 08.08.2006 1:13 PM PDT

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

HaloChick, stop it. You've spammed this thread with worthless replies, and then you flamed Pink Menace for pointing out how worthless your reply were. Considering that I have warned you sometime earlier (No, I don't remember exactly what it was for or when; I just have a note to myself that I warned you), you are very, very close to getting a blacklisting.

I agree, The Classifieds needs work, and The Gallery really should be updated. GJJ suggested that The Classifieds be removed and replaced with a Guestbook on The 7th Column page that people could leave a single advertisement in, and I think that's a good idea. And to prevent abuse, each member would only be allowed one advertisement for a group, and only chapter founders could place the ads so every member of a large group doesn't leave an ad.

A good idea, just one thing...

What if it turns out like the classifleds?

But back on topic, the gallery was fun i miss it. I think the classifieds are serving their purpose just fine as well as the news.

I believe the point is that the poster would like to let other forum members know that they are in agreement with the person who they quoted.

It would waste more space if people did as followed:

Piggyfool, I am in agreement that the News and The Classifieds are fine, I also agree that its the Voting Booth and Gallery which need fixing. Mainly activity-wise though
Posted by: xTr1GGeR HaPPYx
I believe you are both correct in your assesment that the News and The Classifieds are fine, as well as your statement regarding the Voting Booth and Gallery. I concur that these are mainly due to inactivity.


Wouldn't you agree?

original post


Regarding your original post eletius, I think with a little bit of effort on bungies part (A picture every couple weeks in the gallery), use of those forums would increase dramatically.

The point of quoting soembody without actually typing anything is to get your point across without wasting time to type, because someone has already said it for you. Hence, when I quoted Trigger and Nate, it was pretty obvious I thought The Classifieds and News were fine, and that The Gallery and Voting Booth need to be upgraded. Basically, it's being lazy. But I wasn't offended; I used to hate it when people did that. So none taken.

The Gallery and Voting Booth should be upgraded, doing so would obviously increase activity.

But on-topic: Everything I've already said. And repeating myself by saying the fact that The Classifieds and News sections are fine. To me, anyway.
