Hey Tom, why dont you delete all toics that are ancient because they are taking up space that could be used when Halo 3 comes out. and it would help out the 56k users out there.


First: The amount of topics stored in the database has no impact on download speeds. It might affect the speed of forum search results, but only slightly. If you're worried about load speeds, then you should more concerned with how large each page load is; Which makes your second complaint extremely ironic:

My final complaint is the buttons. the buttons are just words. now imo thats not very "hawtness" to me. i suggest a shiny version of the old buttons or just new buttons for the new hawtness.

Turning all the navigation elements into graphics would dramatically increase the size of each page load, and cause the site to be very slow for 56k users.

My opinion on the new site: It looks better and works more efficiently (both on our end and on Bungie's end). Take it from me: A web developer by trade (When I'm done typing this, I'm going to open up my text editor and continue slogging through lines of code. ASP, SQL, "AJAX", oh my!!!)

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

it would seem that all original names of the forums can bee seen in the cookie trail thing. Just underneath the "My stats" drop down menu.

Just wondering if Bungie will acknowledge any of these bugs and let us know they are working on fixing them. I figure if they do that, people can stop complaining about the same bugs.

Am I late on complaining about a bug?

Okay, when a thread has a poll, why does the title of the poll get shown on the main Forum instead of the title of the thread?

Kinda odd to have the Sigs activated by floating to the avatar, but god bless whoever had the idea.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

I don't like the white space in the reply part.....to blinding. And the "quote", "cancel", "new topic", etc. buttons blend in too much. The site looks like almost any other forum out there. I liked B.net because it was different, and it had all the nice images for the different buttons, so I didn't have to search for the buttons. I also don't like having to scroll all the way to the top of the page to go to a different forum (I don't like having to hit "home").

Continue on reading if you want to hear me yak on about how I'm lost on the site.

I'm so lost it's amazing. When I wan't to go to a forum, and the dropdown appears.....I have no clue where to go. I guess it was mainly because I used the names of the forums "Septagon", "New Mombasa", etc. instead of the descriptions. They were short, sweet, and to the point. It only took new members 10 minutes to know where to post stuff. I think your dumbing the site down too much. And I also am lost because there's no icon images for "quote", "cancel", "submit", etc. I just felt like telling someone this.

I just need another week to get aquainted with the new site though.

5/5 Stars - Kritz.net

Bah, as suggested in my now dead thread, I want the character limit in signatures out. I feel it's redundant having two limits. Not to mention that limit counts characters that can't even be seen. I mean, right now I'm limited to 5-6 links. And now that my signature is hidden, I assume people'd like to see a little more when they mouse over me. I'd really like to see the limit increased, or to simply ignore the BBCode.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

I've got a few complaints:

No offense, but I don't like the theme for the "bungie community" forum, I mean, that hand just looks too realistic, oh, and can we please have the forum name "the Septagon" back? Oh, and finally, have to put your mouse over the avatar to see someone's sig really defeats the point as no-one will bother to look at it.

Everything else is really cool, keep up the good work.

Problems with the site:
Total Medal Count on the game summary page....really pointless unless it's separated by individuals or by team at least.
Game List - need to shade every other line differently....kind of ugly with the bug chunk of gray.
Friends list - get rid of the popup window. That's just damn annoying to have it open a separate window.

a pop-up might make sense if it refreshed itself every minute or so, but right now the thing is hard to look at (word wrap???) and if I want to keep my place I'll just open in another tab.

great list there. I think a lot of the other complaints are mostly whining about thier low-res displays/settings and the disappearance of noisy sigs from the thread.

When I select "remember user name and password.", I am unable to veiw Bungie.net the next day without clearing my history. I am using IE7.

Achronos said that if he could, he would disable that option.

Maybe he did. Hmmmmmmmm.


ooh, I quoted without the page reloading. nice.

Ok, I had something to say about Windows Live ID and remembering user/pass across the Live ID sites. Bnet is the only site that has the requirement to do what gnome 13 described or that I log out of another Live ID site like xbox.com before Bnet will even load. It's not up to Achronos or even Bungie to screw around with that kind of thing, at least without providing a valid page to re-enter the password. If there's something I'm not getting please let me know, but I think what I have to do to sign in now is ridiculous. Thanks.

i cant find any groupys and there is no smiles!

Groupies usually start arriving during your first tour after the album gets released.

Smiles arrive when they show you a doctors note which states that they are clean.


ZING! nice. :)
