I'm not very educated on these matters, so I thought I would ask...Would there ever be a limit on the number of members Bungie could support? Is there an estimate when the number of members will top out? Or will Bungie just continue to grow and grow and grow?

I don't think there is, at least that I am aware of.

Unlikely, the storage of profile wouldn't really be a problem I suppose. Its just the usage that matters I think.

The forum system is designed to harbour an unlimited amount of members. Obviously, problems can and most likely will occur, but I doubt a limit will ever be enforced.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

There is no limit, because the place bungie stores the profiles has way more than enough memory.

If by some miracle, Bungie started to overload on members, I'm sure Microsoft will give them some server space.

User IDs are 64-bit signed integers (although technically nothing is preventing them from being 64-bit unsigned integers) and are not reused even if a user is deleted.

I don't think we have to worry about that problem.

See?

Um...I think 64-bit unsigned integers are bigger than 7

Shhhhh.

It's easier this way.

I agree. You can't count to Achronos' number on you fingers. 64-bit unsigned integer? You might have to take your shoes off for that one.

How about multiples of 7, Recon?

Much easier. I think every number involving Bungie should be 7. Halo 2 was Halo 7. Halo 3 will be Halo 7. Marathon 2 was Marathon 7. Marathon Infinity was Marathon 7. etc etc.

I hope there will never be a limit but over the past year bungie.net hasn't grown the way i'd imagined the release of Halo 2 has basically made Zanzibar not a nice place to be in. The Flood is ruled by a bunch of immature morons who support spammers and prefere random rudeness while trying to stifle half-decent discussion.

I am insulted by that remark, while I do agree that I am an immature moron that prefers random rudeness (which is generally misinterpreted subtleness), I do not support spammin or the stifling of decent conversation.
Although the more intelligent members have disappeared somewhat of late and dmbfan was made a moderator. No more 3 word posts for you mister, you have to set an example or be flamed by the casual user of Bnet for misuse of power.

wait, that doesn't make any sense! halo2 was halo 7 and halo3 will be halo 7?? its one or the other foo! otherwise, 2 and 3=7, and that doesn't work in any universe.

unless everything equals 7...in which case you have 7 ears growing out of 7 teeth that you have. and there are 7 of you. and i should really post this 7 times in a row...


but that new anti-spam system will kill me before i get a chance.

  • 09.30.2005 3:47 PM PDT

If you don't got it, you want it. If you got it, you want more of it. Of course if you don't know what it is, it's hard to get any in the first place.
