This forums are horrible.
I've posted on a topic and it hasn't shown up for 3 hours...
Every time I post it takes at least 10 minutes to show up.
Every other message I click gives me an error page.
Every page loads slow as -blam!-.
NO SEARCH OPTION!!! GET A REAL FORUM AND THIS WOULD SAVE YOU TONS OF WEBSPACE!!!

Why not get a vBullentin or Invision Power Board forum? Or anything else? This is a piece of -blam!- forum. It's not that hard to start a new one.

Yep

A search is coming soon. As for now, I just follow this guide.

And don't cross-post. I saw another thread like this that you made over in Zanzibar.

Of course Bungie didn't research their options. Why would they? It's not like the web team are experts or anything.

All the problems you are experiencing are related to a mixture of load and performance fixes.

Quite true, no searching really sucks... but if it loads slow then either bungie is really popular or your computer is infected with spyware.

Try these half-decent programs...
ad-aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
spybot-s&d - www.safer-networking.org
and microsoft antispyware beta1 - www.microsoft.com

I never have any problems with any other sites. None. This place is full of errors.

Some errors I've gotten in the last few clicks:
Unknown Error: System.InvalidCastException
Unknown Error: System.NullReferenceException
Authentication Faliure: Cannot find specified users' profile data. (I just clicked a thread... never touched a profile link)

I've had problems like that before a few days ago.. Error messages and strange "things" popped up.. My next option was to slap myself silly.

Don't really complain about the bungie forums because at least you can post and interact in it.. Now tell me, are any other forums out online nice, respectful, and a good team of people? I think not..
