He is correct, I mean look what they did to his post. These forums made his topic appear in an 'attention grabbing' all caps format and they made him come off like a whiney moron. Seriously, if that is not the fault of these broken forum then what is it?

Some of us understand that this website is free to use and that's existence is purely given. Bungie doesn't "owe" us this site, it's provided for our enjoyment, and their promotions. With that said, leave, if you don't like it.


just because bungie doesnt "owe" us the board, doesnt mean they shouldnt provide a glich free service. if you're gonna do it...why not do it right? with the amount of trafic that hits this site, it only makes sense to update it and use good software.

you'd think a software company would want a glich free online community for its gamers. i guess thats a crazy idea

oh god...what is wrong with pointing out the faults? sure he's not exactly doing it in a constructive manner...but he does speak the truth...the board is pretty bad. its slow and glichy, and there is no search function. the amount of reposts would be cut in half if there was a search function available.

the whole "if you dont like it then leave" statement is just dumb....this is the OFFICIAL bungie/halo2 website...so people sometimes NEED to come here for resources...based on that, they should fix it up a little bit. why do some of you WANT it to stay that way?

WHY TELl eVERYONE to LEAVE? SERIOUSLY!! JUST CUZ THEY DON'T LIKE SOMETHING AND THEY POINT IT OUT, you people are always there to just say LEAVE or something, cause you must not have any confidence to tell someone to -blam!- off in real life so you have to come on a forum and do it.. seriously

That just means you have a crappy internet. :(



I am not -blam!-ing, just making a point.

No, it doesn't mean he has crappy internet. Just try moving around the forums then go to other forums and you will see a hell of a difference. I have 768kbs up and 6Mps down and the forums can run slow as heck. I can live with it, but it does get crazy at times. It also doesn't mean he has a crappy computer either.

A search function would be helpful. So would a "back" or "home" button to get back to the forum topics list you started in. (or does that exist and I'm not finding it?)

But I don't really have any real problems on the forum.

I post, it gets posted within a minute or so, sometimes longer, but never over 10 or 15 minutes depending on where I check it from. (Work vs home)

Besides, this is a message board, not a chat room.

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.

We must have around 1,000,000 members.

There are over 3,000,000 posts.

There are over 60,000 boards (including all the group boards).

The servers are keeping tracks of millions of Halo 2 games, there's news for every group, and lots of group resources.

Forgive the Bungie web team for putting in a few performance tweaks that, while making the forum a tad glitchy, ensure that the site doesn't die.

Yeh. And please edit the name of this thread. You are fully entitled to your own opinion, but please obey all the rules. If you can't stand these forums, why post here?

You obvioulsy don't understand the brilliance this forum. It's amazing what they have achieved here. Please do not insult this forum, because you know what, It doesn't 'SUCK'.

.... wow. I surprise myself how mad i can get ;)

You remind me of a little kid I played last night,he was annoying and had a high pitch voice. You're not like that I hope.

And ChiChi, goweb wouldn't say 1,000,000 members, unless we had that many. I bet we even have more.

Well, this arguments getting pretty heated. To be honest, I think the forums are fine, never had a problem with them, but obviously I'm in the minority. I think people should be more greteful that bungie has such a large forum. Anyway, I'm sure there's a thousand Halo/Bungie related forums out there that use your preferred software....

What this guy doesn’t understand is that the forum he mentioned above are not able to handle the kind of traffic that these boards can. Goweb said it, as anyone can tell these forums are crazy with activity, so you can either put in crappy forum programs that will crash and burn due to high traffic/activity or you can implement a stable system that will be able to keep up with the demands of the website. I’m just waiting for Achronos to come down here and A) prove me wrong with super technical jargon and B) Deliver this guy the beating of his life.

It's his fault, because he typed the title in all caps. Duh.

This place is extremely reliable compared to, say, the GameSpy Networks forums. Damn things break down three out of four times, guranteed.

And the person who posted this obviously has no experience with message board coding, nor did he notice the "Powered by Ideal Science" logo at the bottom of each page.

(Sigh.)

Idiots. They're everywhere.

It was my understanding that the Bungie.net forums have close to 1,000,000 members. I may be wrong...

Because there is not a prepackaged forum in existance that wouldn't be crushed by our traffic.

And that is exactly what causes all the errors here. Ridiculously high traffic. Ideal Science's forum system is one of the wonders of the world for being able to withstand the number of forums on this site and the sheer number of users accessing them.

Feel free to make ignorant generalizations backed up with curse words, though. That seems to be the popular thing to do when you're unsatisfied.
