I know this is a .net site, I didn't say Bungie had to make an exact copy of Delphi, only that they could use some of their ideas.
For example: A narrow column on the side that lists the discussions, when you click a discussion, it shows in the larger column, so that after you run through a bunch of pages and want to go to another thread, you just go back to the list on the side. As it is, if you've gone though the list of discussions10 pages, then read a thread, you have to either hit the back button 'till you get back to where you were, or go back to the top of the list and work your way down again.
That could be avoided by simply opening the thread in a new window, but right click-open in a new window-right click-open in a new window-right click-open in a new window-right click-open in a new window-right click-open in a new window- that would get old fast, this site would be a whole lot better if the discussion and reply liknks would just open in a new window.
If you want to read all the way through a thread before replying to make sure you aren't repeating someone else, go ahead, I'm sure you'll see lots of repeating while you're doing it, some of us may want to put our two cents in even if it has been said allready, and if it has, we're just agreeing with the person who beat us to it.

Do we need this place that intricate and complex? I mean, the place is already smooth. And is reading a little extra to find where you left off that big of a deal? I usually remember the page I'm on at least. And if you're replying to a post on page 2, out of a 100 page topic, that's kinda stupid. Keep up in the current discussion. It's better for the topic.

Bungie can use the ideas to build it any way they like, again, not saying it should be an exact copy.
But why add stuff when this place is already more smooth an efficient then Delphi? Seriously, why should it be changed in the first place?
There are sooo many other halo community sites out there besides Bungie.net. Why not go to another instead of bashing this one?
Again, this place is made to handle bigger loads of members where Delphi is more for small communities (compared to b.net).
