New Forums

Welcome to the new and very sexy Bungie.net Forums! I'm sure all of you know how to use a forum, so I'll skip the silly instructions and get right to the good stuff. What's new and THE RULES! [b]What's NEW:[/b] Layout. Not only is the forum a lot nicer looking than before it is also more functional. Avatars. Check out your My settings link. Then click on Avatar. OMFG SWEET. Forum Polls. This is like the coolest new update to the forum in my opinion. Basically you can create a poll and insert it right into your forum topic! Although, I hear bungie will take this feature away if the master chief loses any popularity forum polls. So it's probably not a very a good idea to make any stosh vs. master chief polls. Text Markup. The text formatting system has been revamped a bit for the new Bungie.net. It's now much easier to use and new users should be able to decipher it without needing a team of geeks at their disposal. Practice the text markup options [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=85]here.[/url] Chars Left. Check out this feature located on the bottom left of your post field. It counts the amount of characters you have left for your post in real time. Neat, huh? Pin. If your forum post is really awesome, we can pin it. Basically pinning will make your post stick to the top of the forum. It will be uneffected by time, meaning it will stay up there until we unpin it. Delete. The new system won't leave icky forum data residue anymore when we delete ugly forum posts. They will just disappear. Like a bad forum post should. Lock. We can lock forum posts now. Locking is just another feature we will use to combat user immaturity and senseless forum topics. I would also like to note that all three bungie.net forums will be moderated daily. Rude users will never ruin your day on one of our forums again. Promise. [b]The RULES:[/b] Please DO NOT advertise your chapter here. You can use the seventh column [url=http://seventhcolumn.bungie.net/perlbin/blam.pl?file=/site/2]mainpage[/url] for that. No petitions. Do not link to adult content or to sites that contain information on any type of software piracy. No bad jokes. Xbox hacking/modding discussions will not be permitted on any of the bungie.net forums. Don't Flame each other. Use your manners and common sense. If you disagree with someone, do so gracefully. Noob, Newbie, N00b, and any other variants on the word newb are hereby banned from use on this forum. Any user who violates this rule will be put to [url=http://www.soffish.com/images/noob.gif]death[/url]. There are plenty of more rules I could list, but I mean only a brain damaged monkey would break them. Use common sense and your very best online etiquette. Read the Bungie.net [url=http://www.bungie.net/Help/NoticePage.aspx?section=TermsOfUse]terms[/url] of use and [url=http://www.bungie.net/Help/NoticePage.aspx?section=CodeOfConduct]code of conduct[/url] for more specific bungie.net dos and donts. Suggestions: Use a spell checker to check your posts for misspellings. There's no point in making a forum topic if we can't understand it because of multiple spelling errors. Don't use stupid abbreviations. (Example: Your = ur, You = u, Are = r, Halo: CE) P.S. If you have any suggestions/complaints/questions about the new site and its awesome forums, please make them at the [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/topics.aspx?forumID=3]Septagon[/url]. I mean I don't mind moving posts, but you know...it would be nice if I didn't have to. Thanks! That's it! Welcome! Have fun! [Edited on 4/13/2004 12:51:12 AM]

  • Bungie- you guys are out of control. Every time something is pumped up and expectations get astronomical, you guys produce- and raise the bar even higher. You must have one of the best office dynamics around, great leadership, and great friendships. I find myself hoping your team gets a good long break after HALO 2 goes gold, so you won't get burnt out and have people move on to other things. I don't know any of you, but you all feel like family. Keep up the sweet work, they aren't paying you enough.

  • Man, this new Bungie.net is awesome... can't get over it... remember how I said the old one was "hard on the eyes?" Well, this fixes that big time... The new rules are very appealing as well. I hope it decreases the number of Pointless Spammers (2 types of spamming: pointless, and not-so-pointless), and nasty trolls.

  • Weresnail, is that supposed to be in response to this flag discussion? We need proper closure (and a return to threaded listing so we don't get confused over who's replying to what again)! Yeah, I'm still in Perth, it says so in my profile. But we may be going to Canberra next year, which kinda sucks :( - Reiginko

  • Why thank you, i'll be here all week. Try the veal! Yes i think we do need someone to clear this up. The NZ flag has red stars outlined in white i think, so without some help i'm afraid it's just gonna be speculation. Right you lot at Bungie Towers, what flag can we see on the Webcam? Australian or New Zealand? It better be ours, they can't even beat us at cricket most of the time! Yes from perth. You too? you still here or moved away? [Edited on 4/13/2004 8:38:44 AM]

  • From what I saw I thought the stars were white, so I thought it was pretty certainly not the NZ flag. I thought the federation star (the big one under the union jack) wasn't discernible cos of the low-res, but it could go either way I guess. We need a bungie fella to clear this up! - Reiginko PS I see you hail from Perth too! Welcome to b.net, seeing as you're new and all. [Edited on 4/13/2004 8:28:56 AM]

  • Yeah I saw that too! Actually i think that's a New Zealand flag. It's lo-res, so it's hard to tell, but the aussie flag has a big star under the union jack, and the stars on the field are white. I think the one on the webcam has red stars and no big star. But you may be right, the Australian flag does have some 7 pointed stars, so it makes sense... Good work tiger!

  • Only one or two extra questions have been added. Nothing major. But hey I'm not complaining. It's been nearly a year since it was last updated, so a small update is better than no update at all.
