I really wish they'd just be tighter on video postings instead of banning the whole thing. But hey, those members shot their own foot. Perhaps a sticky in New Mombasa dedicated to videos would work. The Flood has one dedicated to story's and fan-fics, why not one for videos.

SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

I don't think this would warrant another forum by itself. Try to find a chapter that focuses on vids, or make one yourself. That would be the best way to do this, IMO.

I think a forum dedicated to Fan creations in general would be nice. We dont need to limit it to videos. An area where people can post any fan art, montages, videos, even songs they have created for critiscism. It would be a great addition, IMO, as long as it wasnt abused, but it isnt like the rest of the forums arent abused with that kind of stuff already.

Does anyone know of a chapter that focuses on vids? There has got to be at least one big one.

You know, that would be a good idea as a "perk" or "reward" for members that have either been on the site for a while or have good reputations.

Whenever I hear of good ideas like that, I tend to remember the long-running discussions about karma and positive rewards for positive members.

A (somewhat) exclusive membership to such a forum wouldn't be a bad reward for good members and would give the others a goal to strive for.


Yeah, I have always been a supporter of the legendary "karma" system. And I really wish that the B.net team would consider making some even basic sort of system. I'm sure they have often considered it, but I think that it could really pump some energy into these forums again. Ah, here's to hoping that someday my dreams of having a "karma" sytem will be a reality! You'll see boys....[/Rent]

Yeh, but people would probably start kissing the mods asses.

One of my chapters has a website I run where you can post your pictures or flash animations and people can leave a rating.

But then people would be elitist about it and chaos would ensue!

I hate it when people say that elitism wouldn't allow something to work. That's not a bad idea. But a membership for that type of forum seems a bit pointless to me.

Do not panic, or you will fail.

The best thing we could use here now is a reason for people to be good. A great thought on Recon's part.

I have an idea. Would it be too much effort for the web team to create a special thread that only allows post with a video, and nothing else? This would go in the Gallery, of course.

No, that's be way too much. Maybe combine the Gallery, and a Video Forum page, but not a brand new separate one.

Recon said, if you want to link a video, put it in your signature. That leads me to think that there's not going to be a new Forum page for just videos, but I don't know.

Linking to a video? Consider using your Sig instead.

As for the "karma reward points" issue, there is a very small chance that could turn into elitism.

Of course forum posts and ranks can be easily and have turned into elitism issues, but karma couldn't because it would be rewarded to the members by the moderators. So the members wouldn't have any control over how many karma points they would have considering the moderators are in control of whether they gain or lose their reputation.

If a higher authority is in charge of the rewards, I'm sure Bungie could get rid of elitism on the forums.

That would require the mods to do even more work. Unless we get about 30 new mods, that ain't gonna happen.

"And so here at the end of my life, I do once again betray a former
master. The path ahead is fraught with peril. But I will do all I can
to keep it stable - keep you safe. I'm not so foolish to think this
will absolve me of my sins. One life hardly balances billions. But I
would have my masters know that I have changed. And you shall
be my example." -Mendicant Bias

Meh, I just go to High Impact Halo if I want to see Halo videos. Although, this forum would be quite good for showing of fan creations, but could easily be exploited.

People tend to not notice this, but the topics devoted to these forums are Bungie's work; not Bungie's fans'. There's not really a diplomatic way to put that.

If you want a forum specifically designed for fan-made work, feel free to create a Seventh Column group and advertise it in the Classifieds as well as in your signature. A public forum of such description doesn't really fit into the scope of this site. Otherwise, post (or don't, as the case may be) to the public forums.

Explain to me how the flood is a justified forum but this wouldn't be, then, by your standards. Please.

The Flood is a place of discussion, not creation.
