Hi. My name is Sean. I've been a Bungie fan since Halo launched. Some of my interests include games, exercising, laser tag, martial arts, movies, music, sports, and technology. Feel free to contact me at any time.

Well, the major overhauls for Bungie.net have been in 2001, 2004, and 2007. Bungie is planning another one with the beginning of a new universe, as mentioned on the homepage.

We'll be undergoing a metamorphosis of our own. Very soon Bungie.net will change, culminating with the launch of our next universe at some unknown time in the future. The first small steps will be taken soon, with Halo playlist management changing hands on August 2nd, the very same day we plan to deploy our parting thoughts on the last twenty years through a ViDoc titled, "O Brave New Worlds."

I'm definitely excited for a new version of Bungie.net, even if we lose some forums in the process. I assume the logon system will change so it's not depending on Windows Live ID alone. I'm sure they'll improve/add features for communication, forums, and/or groups.

http://beta.bungie.net has recently become available for some people to sign into and use (after June 3, 2011). I didn't notice any differences, but I'm wondering if Bungie will eventually allow beta testers to try the new version of Bungie.net on that subdomain before it goes live to everyone.

Do you want the site to stay the way it is or are you ready for a change? What expectations do you have for the next New Hawtness?

I'm expecting the new hawtness to drop on Aug 2 which is a Tuesday. Most b.net updates occur on Tuesdays.

I'm sure it will be a huge change, and I'm really excited and slightly scared of what is to come.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

I've been hoping for a New Hawtness 3.0 for quiet some time, so I'll be welcoming the new version with open arms. Who knows, maybe we'll get some sweet new tools we've all been asking for *cough* Sent Message's in thread form/Sent Box *cough*.

So I wasn't the only one that did that... Anyways, I'm ready for a drastic site change. I honestly cannot wait to see what comes out of the change over for the forums.

  • 07.13.2011 7:26 PM PDT

I'm definitely down for a change! I can't wait to see what site features they come up with.

  • 07.13.2011 7:30 PM PDT

Now selling HHDDVVDDBVDs. HD DVDs, but with better marketing.

I'm excited. I'm also going to be internet free between August 1st and August 22nd. Hopefully all of the bugs will be worked out and I get to see a fully functional hawtness and get to miss the flood of threads about it.

I couldn't have picked a better time, but at the same time I couldn't have picked a worse time to take up my new project...

I've wanted to bring back groups for quite a while, and I finally found a way I could do it...I'm reviving an old 7th column archive that I used to contribute to in '06-'07 (and that some of you oldies might remember) called The Guide...hopefully my project will fulfill my expectations, and that we will receive enough help to bring the Guide up to what it can and should be; a hub for the whole of the 7th column, chock full with reviews on the latest and greatest groups, interviews of awesome folks, and (most importantly) hopefully in time return we can that original spark of interest that groups once had.

I picked a bad time to do it because we have virtually no idea what's going to happen to the site and forums in the next month...it could be a few additions, a few fixes to groups, a group overhaul (hopefully it won't go the way it did in 2007) hell it could be a complete site overhaul and re-coloring...groups could have some sort of completely new function or work in a new way that could render the Guide as useless. Hopefully it won't become that way...and if the 7th column does change drastically, I hope it will benefit greatly, as groups are one of the only reasons I still stick around...

Make the forums look more like right after the 2007 update, it was my favorite layout.

Well, I can indulge you with my assertion, should that be your wish. I agree with you, however am not holding too many expectations at all. My mother always said that Bungie might not be appropriate for me... she also said not to have high expectations for anything, as I would ultimately end up more disappointed with the end result.

Bringing the two sayings together, Bungie might compose a marvelous update in the New New New Hawtness, however ornery it might be. We will just have to wait and see, however, how everything pans out. Who knows? Maybe it will be the worst thing that ever happened thus far in the history of our beloved community! Or perhaps the complete opposite?

My expectations are not high, hence, there will be more of a chance in my head for the latter half...
