Ah, I love the confusion that comes after the cryptic reply.
Anyways, which Bungie.net do you mean? This one, the slightly older one, or the old, old one that was a Myth metaserver?

"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."

There was also the website that connected to the myth metaserver. :)

In the beginning, there was Myth (and Myth 2). They had multiplayer, and used a service called "bungie.net" for matchmaking (also known as a metaserver). A website was created to hook into this to show stuff about your Myth playing... this website was also called bungie.net.

In Novemeber 2001, Halo was released. Along with it, bungie.net was reborn, free of the Myth roots, as a news/community site with Fanclubs - the 7th Column was born. Eventually, forums were added, and much spamming ensued.

About a year later, the Overlord (me) decided that Halo 2 would destroy the small little codebase that was bungie.net, and thus the "new hotness" was born. It was unleased on April 12th, and its full potential realized upon the release of Halo 2 and its many stats.

Thus the circle was completed - from Myth game/web interface to Halo/web interface. And Bungie saw that it was good, and then banned a bunch of people for cheating, just like before.

Wow, it's like reading a passage from the bible, but I can actually understand what it means.

Thank you, I was always wondering about that. You have to admit, the "And Bungie saw that it was good" & "in the begining" part is just like Genesis. *Technecally you don't have to admit it, but you get the point*

And the yellow words are yours alone right? One more thing, how good at halo 2 are you?

He linked his gamertag and the yellow words also happen for other Bungie employees like sketchfactor. Maybe frankie.

I'm pretty sure belonging to this forum implies that.
