The URL for Bungie.net no longer contains a www at the beginning. I just barely noticed this. Has it always been this way? Have I been licking too many toads to notice? Or has it recently been changed? I'm pretty sure it used to have the www.....

EDIT: I think I have proof! All the forums I frequent went white! The text that links to them, I mean. I believe that this is because they had previously been linked to www.

What are you talking about? you don't have to type "www" infront of most websites.

It all depends on what you type in the URL when accesing bungie.net.

Say if you put www.bungie.net in, it would stay as www.bungie.net... for the whole time. However, if you only but bungie.net then it would stay as bungie.net... for the whole time.

Littlerat's right. If you type it in as www.bungie.net, it, and all subsequent pages will have the www in it. Same thing goes for if you don't put in a www.

Ah, that makes sense. I think I know why, too. I had clicked a link to the Moderator FAQ, and just had the new page be the page I was using. It must not have www. That's kind interesting. Thanks.

I remember trying to figure out why I couldn't get to HBO...It took me like 2 months to figure out that www. wasn't in the URL...Ah that was frustrating.

I am typing this assuming you can read you dumb douche. If you move your eyes to the URL address box, you can plainly see that bungie has 'www' in front of it. WWW stands for world wide web, if you are still breathing because you haven't forget yet. Even a lobotomy patieny knows every URL address has www in front of it as a precursor.

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

Um, I don't know if you're an idiot or something, but that's not true.

And EAGLES, if you read the replies, you can see that Bungie can be viewed with or without the www.

I just noticed that too, my URL bar does not contain the WWW either.

Incredible! I just took out the 'www' in my address bar for this post, and it took me to a post that was just like this one! Wait a minute... [/sarcasm]

Contrary to popular belief, the 'www' is optional when trying to access Bungie.net.

I'll be on my own side.

I find it amusing when I see people type in "www". It's almost like when I see someone using a wired phone.

It's one of those "what a n00b" moments.

1. You're wrong.

Most web sites are accessed with one server name. Bungie.net's DNS entry works in both ways, and since all links are relative, the host name stays with whatever initial one it was.

Is that why you come here when you type bungie.com?

When you buy your domain name do you get to choose whether or not your dns entry covers both or do you have to buy different domains?

I think you have to buy the .com seperate from the .net, but I have no idea about the optional www.

Why did Bungie choose to have their site as .net, and the .com version simply links through. Is there a computing-reason, or was it just to stop fraudsters?

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

The Bungie website was originally .com, but then they registered the .net website for use as the Myth multiplayer server. Then the .com became the Bungie Store/General Bungie News Page, but once Bungie.net stopped hosting Myth, the two websites were consolidated into the Old Coolness B.Net, and then that was updated to the New Hotness that you see today.

Dang that gets annoying sometimes. I thought Achronos was calling me a jerk. I was trying to think of when I was a jerk. And then I saw the quote at the bottom. lol. Oh well.
