"I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use caps lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single BoB alive."

2B || !2B - Why don't you look Inside the Machine?

Well I was not able to get to the forums or anywhere else for a while due to a message that said that B.net was under work. I checked the home page for some news that might explain this..but alas, I found none. So does anyone know why?

"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."

This morning's outage was a planned thing... our operations team was patching the servers with the latest security patches. Usually, you don't notice when we do this, but sometimes a security patch requires a reboot of one of the SQL servers, and bungie.net does not behave when it can't find the SQL server (a bug in code prevents it from failing gracefully). Eventually, this will be fixed so if a SQL server disappears from a web server's few, the web server will calmly do the best it can until the SQL server comes back.

I stand clarified and corrected.

I'm noticing a pattern. I speculate and Achronos sets the record straight.

Works for me. *grin*

I did say that I was guessing though.


At least you are humble and gracious about it...

And finally Achronos has posted in one of my threads giving me new insight and inspiring me to do great things...my life can end now.

In all reality...thank you Achronos for doing what you do...

For a minute I felt important... *sigh*

Marine: Damn right, I'm running away! There's two of us, alone, on foot, no weapons, and four hundred Covies on the other side of that hill. What are you going to do, tough guy--field-rig a railgun out of a rubber band and my dental fillings?

Spartan (speculatively): You have fillings...?

yeah

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

Pretty cool of Achronos to step in and inform the community. The only other question remaining is that who knew Recon had a real job?

Yea, he has a job and a wife from what I have read. Point is closed though...Achronos has ruled...let this thing die.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

It would die faster if you took the link out of your sig =P

But it's always good to know that when the server goes down it was planned. Thanks.

There is no shame in being wrong. It's an opportunity to learn and to grow.

It would however, be shameful if someone was unwilling to admit that they were mistaken.


...And he still somehow mantains his composure....

...He will break... one day...
