Well, Ive been mulling about it for some time, and have finally come to the conclusion that www.bungie.net will not be able to hold the 500,000 uber n*&^s that come onto the forums when Halo 2 is released. So, is Bungie doing something about it? I know I get at least three errors a day, along with it takes the forums forever to load. Somebody mentioned something about beta.bungie.net, but it looks exactly the same as bungie.net. I think the website needs to be either:

A) Rebuilt from the ground up, no old code.

or

B) Practically the same thing, but built around the existing architecture.

What do you think??

IIRC, this is the third version of the Bungie site. The forums that were used when I first joined were super ghetto, but there wasn't half as much traffic in the forums/site. Also, this sight just got revamped not too long ago. It's be cool if they upgrade with the release of Halo 2, but I doubt it. Maybe they'll upgrade their servers to allow for greater bandwidth, but I wouldn't count on a new site.

Yes, I do realize that the sight was updated (Ive been here a while ;), but they are just optimizations to the design they put up about a month after I joined. I realize that there is no "problems" with the site in this form, but just think about it: How many people have Halo 2 preordered? And how many people will probably get Xbox Live for Halo 2? And considering Bungie is gonna have stats and everything on their site... well, I think easily a thousand extra people will join.(mabye thats not much, how many people are signed up right now??)
