I really appreciate the myspace feature of having a desired song play as the guest or friend views the profile. What if chapters could have this feature too?

What if administrator positions could select a song to play as people interact with chapters? Not only would this give us another way of distinguishing between groups, but it could bring about another "competition" factor. Let's say a chapter wants to plug a song, but what song? The chapter could do a vote, or they could do some type of contest and allow the winner to choose a song. If a person doesn't want to listen to the groups song, there should be a play/pause button to turn off the music. That or the person could just mute their speakers. I think this might bring a bit of activity to the chapter side of B.net, but what do ya'll think?

"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

With the combined traffic of the Main Forums and all of the Chapters...I think that it would be something that could shred the fabric of sub-space apart if it was to be implemented.

The thing is that Bungie will most likely have to do all this legal stuff with a lot of companies. What a group I'm in did is that we first voted to have a group representitive song, then voted on which of 8 or so songs best represented our group.

"Whatever exists, whatever in creation exists without my knowledge exists without my consent. These anonymous creatures may seem little or nothing in the world. Yet the smallest crumb can devour us. Any smallest thing beneath yon rock out of men's knowing. Only nature can enslave man and only when the existence of each last entity is routed out and made to stand naked before him will he be properly suzerain of the earth."

A bit much. Besides, that would also mean that they'd have to censor words in the songs, which would mean that Achronos would have to listen to each song before it was uploaded to either approve it, or censor the words he doesn't want in there. This is assuming, of course, that he cares when it comes to music played on the site.

All in all, it's an idea that isn't necessarily flawless in and of itself, but seems a bit much for the sheer number of groups trying to play different songs all at once (just as Zee said).

Though I'd love to be able to have Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata playing in the background of my group.

Agreed. I would also like to play the Band of Brothers theme in my group.

So when does bungie involve themselves with Chapter content?

And there are just so many of those darn music posting sites that we couldn't possibly need something that could up activity. Not only that but maybe sponsership could allow for money flow to the B.net and fund the next step in Global domination...and a ginormous sling-shot.

I'd have to go with some POD for my chapter.

Oh harty har har. ...Anyways, I don't see why chapters can't be a bit more on the interactive side. There are hundreds of possibilities that could add another level of diversity to chapters, and make them more in-depth at covering things of interest. If a group is too small to cover such things, then they won't have to...it's there preference. Adding a play/pause button with some code shouldn't bring this idea to a halt.

I actually hate the music thing is myspace. Sure its nice but I turn it off cause most of the time I have my own music own, so my music + some random music= not good

I agree whole hartedly, because I already enjoy with much anticipation the waiting of having to load a 500kb page at <5kbs already, meaning a 2mb music file would be even more fun.

Probably not a good idea...Although my Morrowind group could do with the game's theme music...
