Bungie:
Why do you insist on having horrible, graphic intense, always down message boards? Have you ever heard of IPB or VBulletain? Those are so much better, easier to use, and def. better managed. You guys need new forums because these are worthless and impossible to use!

Mmm... yummy.

On a related point, count up how many posts are in the 12 forums visible to everybody. Then realize there's something like 60,000 OTHER private group forums.

And for the record, the forums aren't crashing, the web site itself is - we're currently testing a fix for that that should help stabilize things to at least their pre-new map level.

The forum guys also just sent me an upgrade to their database that vastly increases the speed of the topic pages, and are working on creating a fix for the "forum freeze" problem where occassionally a forum will refuse to update certain parts of its cache. They know what is causing that now, thanks to you guys and some of their other customers too. Hopefully we'll get that fix tested and patched in soon.

Are you also testing a new search feature? If Mr. Achronos replies in a thread, that symbol appears, as if by magic.

If myself, Frankie, or SketchFactor posts, they get marked with gold because we're the Community Team. Moderators don't get a special mark, although their post text is in white instead of blue.

Bungie.net has so much traffic that this program is one of the handful that can handle the awesome amount of visitors, those other programs would simply snap like a toothpick.


It seems like every other page view I get some ASP.net exception or another. Sounds like what Bungie have now is also snapping like a toothpick.

ok perhaps that is an exageration, but atleast today things have been a tad unstable.

I don't envy you your monthly bills for bandwidth alone.

No, because you're a copycat.
