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 -_-

This is for the new members of Bungie.net. As you know in all forums there are threads with different Icons (mini pictures) on the side. Of course, all of the different pictures means something towards the thread. I am going to explain the different meanings of each Icon that appears on some threads.

Monkey with a green plus sign: The thread is a new thread. The most recent post of the thread was within 30 minutes.

Monkey with a flame in the background: This thread is a popular thread, there are over 2 pages of response (51 or more responses to be exact). These threads catches many member's interests.

Golden Septagon sign: The thread has a response from any staff indicated with golden text (IE: Bungie.net Overlord, Community Guy, etc.). If you created a thread and in a few days or hours, this Icon appears, look for the response in gold. I will warn you that it is NOT always a good thing when this Icon appears in any of your threads.

Monkey with an exclamation point: This is called a Sticky thread. Those threads explain rules, anything, and everything you need to know. You should read those threads first before posting anything.

Monkey with the "No" (Red circle with the line going through it) sign: This thread violated a forum rule and it was locked. You cannot post in those threads.

Monkey with a brown background and a rip in the middle: This thread is an old thread therefore, you cannot post in those threads. When your thread doesn't get a response in a couple of months, your threads moves down the list and eventually it will have this Icon and it will just be a memory. I will warn you, as the Forum Ninjas put it, do not bump your thread or duplicate, triplicate, quadruplicate, even quintuplicate post just so your thread stays in the first page. Then your thread will develop into the Locked thread.

The End.

I agree with everything except the "popular members" part. We shouldn't encourage new members to spam their threads to get the "Hot Topic" icon to become 'popular'.

Other than that little thing, good job!

Well written, albeit pointless.

The first one is wrong. It's not a thread that is six hours old, but one that has been posted within the last half hour. Provided it is not locked (Duh), gone stone cold, Stickied or a... Flaming thread?

It's not a monkey. It's the webmaster in his gorilla suit.

I'm not that active, but never dead.

Nice guide, but most of it is pretty self-explainitory. :S

I had wondered about the one with the flames in the background, so thank you for that!

Monkey with a green plus sign: The thread is a new thread. No one or very few has posted in the thread. The thread was made less than 30 minutes ago.



Wrong.
Its a thread thats new or also a thread that has been posted in the last 30 minutes as well. Basicly a new thread thats was made within 30 minutes. Or a thread that was replyed too in the last 30 minutes.

Actually, that means its not a hot topic and has been posted on in the last 30 minutes.

Other than that, very good!

No no no! BMW, for the first one. The most recent post was within thirty minutes. Thirty minutes from when I have posted this, provided no one else does after me, the forum icon will go dark. No green. An intermediate old thread.

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, not quite. All the technical stuff looks good, but it still says 'monkey' instead of 'webmaster'. Since another question that is asked a lot is "what is the monkey thing?", that should probably be explained too. Although, like someone already said, the new members won't read this anyways. But if you're going to do it, you might as well do it all. (And by you, I don't mean you, jmh9072, just so we're clear.)

Yeah. Unfortunately, not everyone knows who the Webmaster is, that should be explained in the beginning, because if you just say "the Bungie Webmaster," they wouldn't understand.

Niceness.

By the way, I believe the time for a thread to turn old (brown) is three months, if you feel like adding it.

Nice job.

Technically, the "Hot Thread" icon is found with 50 or more posts, but this is a good thread.
