I was browsing and searching for a few specific articles on Bungie.net and can't find them. Links from fan sites that linked to these articles are now dead. I am wondering if some news stories were pulled or just didn't make the transition to the newest hotness.

Example:
There was an article titled "Happy Halo Day!" and there is even a forum post in The News forum about it. It was posted on Nov. 15, 2006. Now I can't find it at all, where could it be? Am I just not able to find it or did it make that huge bit bucket in the sky?

Why don't you just give me ONE SECOND!

Heh, I don't know either, but once I tried looking for the news post where Shishka left to Certain Affinity... I couldn't find it. :(
Maybe it did...

I couldn't find a couple of things either. Wierd. Maybe the new hawtness isn't as hawt as we had once though.

Well, I've had a hard time finding the first April 1st Pimps at Sea article, not only because the News search doesn't work for me, but because I think the news stories get cut off any earlier than 2005 or so.

Chick; second page. :P

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

The April 1 articles get deleted, never to be found again on Bungie.net (that we can find). Even site crawlers like Google can't find them, so that means that if they still exist, they are hidden away. But you can usually find them hosted on other Bungie fansites.

As far as old news articles going missing in the New Hawtness, a few had definitely gone "missing" when the site first changed a few weeks ago. Most of them have come back but the "search" feature is still very spotty when it comes to finding news items.

Actually, to my knowledge, the only Pimps at Sea news story to ever get deleted was the movie one, as it was leaked. :\

I love the April 1st article that contained all the fake "Hidden Voice Triggers"
Anyone remember that one? I wish I had a link to that.

Hey you saw my sig! :)
Their was a time when this was under a post. Simpler times; no Halo 3 Forum and no search. Simpler times. Happy about search though.

Haha, I remember that one. It was great.

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.

Lots of old news from the T&R days never made the Jump to the New Hawtness v.1.

ah, yes, many did not make the great leap. they shall be left behind. we will remember them forever in our hearts and minds.

i noticed this almost instantly. i came back when i was looking for a specific article mentioning something about Chapters. to my surprise, the site had already been updated, as i forgot the date. and i never found the article. CONSPIRACY? GROUPS ARE NEVER RETURNING? ;-)

Sorry about that, move along now.

Let 'em through... these aren't the stories we're looking for.

And those hidden MP voice announcements I thought they were cool until I looked up one of the references. Dirty, dirty Bungie. *UHG* I think I'm going to be sick...

Your ninja mind tricks won't work on me.

Actually while i was looking for some article from way back when, I found your (recon's) community spotlight, pretty cool.
