Subject: Major Site Update Confusion.

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

I'm aware that there have been only 3 major site updates, and they took place in 2001, 2003, and 2007. (I may be imprecise on the dates.) On Bungie Day 2011, there was a minor site update to the homepage and the upper tab bar.

But my question is this: Why did Bungie release this small update before the major update applies? Wouldn't they've waited until they were ready to launch the major site update? And have there been minor updates like this in the past?

Why did they change the front page first?

Well... they were done with Comm Chatter stuff. So they got rid of that whole section and replaced it with Bungie relevant stuff rather than Halo relevant. This way things such as Aerospace, Blue Flames (when available), and the Charity Auctions could receive more attention when they needed to.

Maybe?

cars, girls & cake all day everyday

The thread post format looks almost completely different now than it did after the 2007 update...the title of a user was displayed under their avatar (if I remember correctly) but with the addition of titles and prefixes and especially title colors, the post format had to be edited to accommodate that. The color scheme of the whole site still remains largely the same though, for now.
