"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

See, the problem is you guys play lots of Halo 2. So, our stats database needs to have some upgrades done to it to make sure it can handle the load. Bear in mind that your stats will still be collected as you play, they just won't be processed for viewing on the web site until the maintenance period is completed. We apologize for the downtime, hopefully we'll complete the maintenance faster than 24 hours.

Will the RSS feeds still be steaming? I use 3rd party software to collect my Halo 2 stats, so if the feeds are still going, I could still check out my stats. :D

Thanks for the heads-up. You guys rarely do house cleaning compared to other game-stat sites anyway, so I'm definately not pestered. I'll go ahead and spread the word to my friends so they don't get on at 11 and post about their stats...man I hate those threads where people say that they're stats have disappeared!

That's weird..how come they didn't announce the Stats downtime I had yesterday? And 3 days ago? And the day before that? Or the dysfunctional Friends list I have every other night?

Actually, I thought there was a Stats downtime every night, since around 11 pm or so my Stats stop updating and I can't see who's online from my computer.

-blam!- -blam!-, Moan Moan, just think about the amount and complexity of the data they have to handle . Do you cry to Microsoft when Windows crashes? NO. and you probably paid 200 bucks for XP professional.

Oh and thanks for the heads up. Achronous

Thank you for the heads-up Achronos. BTW, Bungie rules, and I certainly wouldn't mind Bungie taking over the world, because then we'd all be supplied with awesome videogame products. Sure, we'd be oppressed, but who cares when you've got absolutely wicked videogames!? ;-) :P

Well since you guys aren't quite as tough as superman, you should be allowed to rest a day.

Thanks for the heads up... Just curious what database server do you use?? I assume MS SQL Server since MS owns Bungie. With the amount of games played daily and all the stuff thats tracked per game, the row count on some of the tables has to be massive even only three months after launch. Kudos to you for making a stats system that can be as responsive as it is with all the data pouring in.

err i Truley hope this isnt consider spam if it is please forgive ;-;.... But i needed a way to get this out, without starting a new topic seenign that no 1 reads my postings lol... Now i was wondering why Bungie hasnt invest in the "irc"(somewhat of a chatting Applicant )If it has anyting to do with fundings (which i find really hard to believe) im sure people would love to "donate".... I mean Forums are good for storage of important things needed to know, But IRC can give you that "right now wanting"hmmm somehting like this forums are to email as IRC to a instant messanger...Also Its a great way of communitcation as well. Remember this is just a thought i had.
