I never understood why all of the pictures for the forums are links. If you scroll over the Bungie Community banner, you will be able to click on it. On the bottom of the browser, it shows a link. Guess what happens when you click on it? It loads the page. It kind of serves no purpose. I've always wondered why they would put something that just takes longer to program, and longer to load the page in.

It updates the threads on the first page. Although I guess now it reloads the whole page, it used to refresh the thread list only.

if you're too stupid or lazy to hover over 'Forums' and click the link, you can just click it to go back after you're done with your post. very obvious

I work here: Sound Devices, LLC. We make bad-ass field audio gear, and you think that's awesome. My messy desk (With work-related items on the computer screen).

Seems pretty simple to me: The graphic looks nice there, so why not make it do something in addition to looking nice? It is the title/banner for the forum, so basic UI logic tells you that clicking it should take you to the place that it advertises. For the functionality that it adds, I think it is worth the 5 seconds it takes to type out <a id="ctl00_mainContent_forumTitleLink" href="/forums/topics.aspx?forumID=3"></a>. Just my opinion. :)
