Subject: A Waste of Time?

- Mike

From all the talk I hear about 7th column groups being re-done and there might be major changes. Also how no new themes have been added since the opening of the new column. I was just wondering would it be a waste of time to submit a theme due to the fact it might just be ignored because of future changes. Should we put our time to a dead cause? Or is there any hope?

On the contrary, I believe that this would be an excellent time to submit your themes, because since the 7th Column is undergoing new features, it is quite possible that your theme may be accepted in the near future.

I am an Elite guy and run two large Elite groups. But where are the Elite themes? One of the Moderators has a theme in his signature he put together that has a Brute in the top picture. It looks unbelieveable. If that doesn't get accepted, nothing will.

But honestly, where are the new themes? I am sure good ones get submitted all the time. Yet none get accepted. WHERE ARE THE ELITE THEMES?

Yes, but its possible those new features will bring about a new layout, which kind of makes theme building pointless. From what I hear the 7th column might be completely redesigned.

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 -_-

You wanna see new themes? Make it yourself. Go to the Bnet Community menu. On the left side under the group link look for themes. Download, build, wait, Bungie's happy, you're happy.

In an ideal world, this would work.

The problem is, there have been no themes ever looked at in the past several months. Or has it been a year now? Honestly, as grim as things look, I'd at least submit your theme once you have it completed. I did the same, hoping that maybe one day someone will actually look through them. Might as well try, yes?

2 years actually. But what I' am wondering is theme building pointless if the web team has ideas to redesign the column?

It is highly unlikely any more themes of the current format will be accepted. Connect this to my previous statement about the bottom nav bar and you might guess why.

I know you don't often reply more than once in a single thread, but I would ask you to reply to this post.

Are you saying that the format for groups and possibly the website will be changing? Or is that a stretch? Or can you not specify...

Achronos has said it a few times. You might be able to find a few quotes without extensive searching.

The bottom one. With "Games", "Stats", and "Community", etc.

I thought he was asking which place he could search for it. Not which bar would be departing.

The very bottom of the Internet is a stats bar (I think). If he means that, I know where he's going with this.

Thank you, that is just what I wanted to know. Maybe taking the themebuilder off would save people there time.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Well, I obviously don't know any more than you. But, in my opinion, changing the nav bar is a fairly serious change. I would imagine that while he's at it, he would also be making some other serious changes that would go along with it.

Also, he says It is highly unlikely any more themes of the current format will be accepted.(emphasis added)

That implies, at least to me, that there will be some other format in the future.

I am sure the Nav Bar will be fine, he will just fine a nice hosting spot to retire and resume life there as a laid back Navigation Bar.
