I am...whimsical today.

I don't think we can upload anything to the Forums. The same goes for pics we want to post. Maybe to stop any possibility of user interference?

Just a guess tho.

It would get way out of hand and add lttle.

This website has far too many immature members to have pictures. Very naughty things would pop up.

I like Halo.

I love the user-limitation of these forums and wouldn't change any of it. I've been to way too many other forums that do nothing but take eons to load, eat up CPU and video power, and clutter the screen with useless crap.

I wouldn't want to let alot of you guys have anything more than literary freedom on these forums if I ran them, hah.

Quoted for Truth.

I've also heard it would take a lot more out of the site's engine? It does seem to me that pics would cause the site to not run as smooth as it does now.

But feel free to provide links to appropriate pictures, PLAY.

Like the others have said, it is a potential and inevitable tool of misuse. You can't really put an automatic inappropriate censor on images.

It is a fair question, however.

I like the freedoms we have already.

  • 10.22.2006 7:48 PM PDT

It costs alot more to run a server that has a lot of pictures on it, than a server with mostly posts. You could delete thousands of posts and it only take up the same space as one picture.

Not to mention all the immature people here at Bungie.net...

Prognatus Archos

* on the Internet contain adult content that is not suitable for children or people with sensitive dispositions.
* and to ensure your children do not post images of themselves,


The answer to that question, as is with many other questions involving member privileges, is the policy. The restriction on posting images is part of an offspring of the bungie.net policy/code of conduct. What they are trying to avoid is the posting of inappropriate/ explicit content on the forums. In addition they do not want the younger members of the community, whose parents may have reservations on them posting pictures of themselves; to be able to give out identifying content. Finally one of the lesser reasons would have to be the drag on processing power, and bandwidth. These forums are not only for those of us with super computers, but they are also for those who have older models. If everyone could post images in their signatures, and in their posts then it would take ten minutes or longer for those with older computers, or low speed connections, just to load a simple thread. There is no reason to have unloadable images...


Reasons
The population of the community would be cut drastically by...

* Concerned parents would take their children off because they do not want them posting images of themselves.

* Users with slower computers would suffer because it takes significantly longer to load the images, and flash videos in everyone’s signatures. As a result many of them would leave.

* There would be inappropriate content everywhere. Many people would be offended, and would leave.


Additional reasons
In addition...

* The images, and videos would be distracting.
* Spam would rise to levels using offensive content.
* Even those with faster connections would notice a change in load time.

The only things I see coming out of allowing people to post images, are bad bad effects.

(10:19:49 PM) Scruss: oh and pezza, i saw what you did to that cat
(10:20:17 PM) Pezza: You were the one with the video camera breathing heavily. Of course you saw.

Because this website probably has the biggest fanbase of any single game. Guess how much -blam!- would be put in there sigs.

Cause not everyone has Cable interwebs that can stream all the highest quality, half-an-hour long animated gif images of their buttox that everyone would put up.

It would clutter the forums and would be hard to moderate.

Bungie moderators do not have the time or energy to censor every single picture we put in our signatures. And I know people will go running around with some sort of adult content in their signatures, as some do now with their links.

It's not worth the battle, imo.

Do you really want to see pictures of things that are inappropriate for anyone to view? I really don't want to see some random dude's ass.

I like to Rollick

The bungie forum background is beautiful , some scrubs putting up sig banners/pictures would ruin the aesthetic value that the forums have.
