The most recent News Update on the front page says that an upgrade will come on 11/17 and will help Bungie.net control some of its new features. Has the "Soon" finally come? One can only hope......

Just wanted to give you guys the headsup.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Hmm... I hope so. I really want that search feature.

I dont think thats when the search will come, but it might follow soon after. We can only hope.

The second thing it is doing is to upgrade our forum database structure to handle several features we'd like to include in future. Hopefully, we'll be able to talk about those soon.


So I hope someone who has a better understanding of maintaining and running a website can elaborate on this, but the question certainly is "what upcoming features require upgraded forum database structures?"

The thing that came to mind was the possibility of extending the amount of characters you can put in newsposts/articles etc. but I'm sure there are other things that would require an alteration of the databases.

Also, whatever it is - It looks like it's almost set in stone because this sounds like the first step in adding what ever it is. That was vague : )

Yeah. It seems to me that it was just somehow formatting bnet to be ready for a handy-dandy new feature soon to come. I.E. Search Engine, or maybe even Karma System. Who knows? Maybe even an accepting of like 20 themes and like 50 avies?

I look forward too it, many of these features Achronos has discussed have been a long time coming. I'm curious to see on "opening night" what these features will be like, as up to this point we really have not been presented with exact specifics in how many of these features will perform.

Pretty much any applications, such as the search function, as well as forum restructuring and a heavy income of lovely new members in the near future.

Although this probably won't be done in today's update, one can always hope.

I hope you aren't implying a redone version of CE, but merely the backwards compatibilty

Behold the time is nigh. The sooness has come to live among us. There has been talk of a soon search feature the whole time I've been at b.net.

Or I could point to the newspost that says there aren't very many user-visible changes going live today.

File Share - Check out my latest map Paradigm.

A nice feature would be to message everyone in your group kind of like how you can message your whole clan in Halo 2.

I think it would be nice to have it so the forums here were more like the new one's over at Xbox.com

Gamertag is your username, Gamercard is your Avatar. Cool.

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

So the down time is over.

Anything new?

or another dream killer
