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

That would be pretty cool, I gues, but I doubt it will ever be implemented, and certainly not so soon after the first wave of hawtness...but soon

Don't be mean guys...he's still a member of the community like your or I. There is always room for imrpovment, even if the current conditions are good. There is a forum search...you just need to know how to use it.

I really dont see why a viable search engine for forum topics hasnt been added...


What the heck are you babbling about now? There's one in the upper right of the screen! It's plenty "viable".

The forums are good. B.net is my favorite website.

I would also like to see:

1. Advanced options on the search
2. Active voting booth
3. Active gallery
4. A few text color options
5. More avatars
6. More themes

Agreed on 1, 5, and 6. 2 and 3 I could care less about now. And 4 would be good, but we both know it won't ever happen. But it would be cool if we could have it.

I actually like the forums as they are. If they weren't changed, I would be just fine.

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 -_-

Would you guys think that the feedback sticky was made for the same purpose as this thread.

Besides, I don't think we can use any other colors. And if we do, we'd have to use pink. No one will use that.

Or we could change the backround color....

If you were around "back then", when colors were allowed, you'd also know that it got incredibly annoying and many people were shot over it.

I would like to see feedback from Bungie staff on the feedback thread regularly. However, I know they are very busy.

In regards to colors, what about a few colors that go well with the theme?

Achronos has hinted at changes to the formatting in the next year or so, and he says he isn't accepting any new themes of the current format. Colors were here once...didn't work so well.

Nothing really. I enjoy the Forums a lot more than I did a few months back. If I had to pick anything, it'd be more interation from the Bungie staff with the Community.

*cough* Multimedia Forum *cough*cough*

:-)

Seriously, scrap the Gallery, Scrap the Voting Booth and revamp The News or get rid of it. When Halo 3 arrives, either make a new Optimatch or combine the current Optimatch (Halo 2) with the one for Halo 3.

Combine the Maw and the The Library when the time is right, and revamp the Septagon a little (more on this later.)

And......add a Multimedia Forum. A place where we can share any multimedia (preferably montages, home made trailors, machinima) and critique/discuss them.
