So tomorrow is the day the seventh column dies. :-( I know it will be reborn with less hacks and more functionality -- BUT you know the current seventh column has been a part of my life for the last few years and I would like to just like to say thanks to bungie. Man I've had a lot of fun maintaining the mob of angry peasants and chapter founders these last few years...and you know because of the seventh column I have had the chance to meet some really amazing people (that I never thought I would ever get the chance to see or even talk to). I never thought I would ever get to see the inside of bungie or meet any of the developers. O_O (i went there last august with gholsbane)

So thanks bungie for giving us all a place to hang out and plan crazy halo lan parties. It's been a ton of fun and I cannot wait to see the new seventh column!

Are there magical chocolate waterfalls and pots of gold there?

The new seventh column should have suitcases full of money in it.

It's a shame that I never had a chance to say the same thing stosh said, but for the old Underground. We weren’t notified when the change would occur, and it pretty much came out of nowhere.

I will miss the old column! But we needed a change and bungie always Delivers so i anticipate they will do the same with the new column!

Yeah, I would of liked to say goodbye to the underground as well. That was the week I took off from visitiing the site because I got Xbox Live. Well good bye old, moldy, dusty, and lovely chapters. I can't wait for the nice, shiny, free dust smelling air, and hotness to get here.

Yo Halo53, I'm real happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best bungie.net profiles of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Man... I've been a member for almost 2 years... (Well 23 months... even more technical, 696 days to be exact) and it's going to be weird getting used to a new column. I find it weird getting used to a new theme for a chapter so it'll be tough but it'll happen. Now all the new members who only join because of Halo 2 will not know what the old Bungie.net or the old column looked like, and those that have been around since before both changes will be considered old, veteran members. And I'll be a really old member. Which will make stosh a really, really old member. Which will make Achronos...

Well you get the picture

bah

Huh? What do you want? Oh, Rest In Peace. I get it. Maybe, when you're at a forum where a guy has a name with RIP in it, you could say R.I.P.?

I'll miss her. She was good. What's that?! She was good to mrsmiley too!?!? That -blam!-

Tee hee heeeee. I will miss the nice threaded view, but I won't miss the cache system and it's stupid errors. The databases I have will all need re-doing since they used almost exclusively the custom rows format. Why? Why must they eliminate rows? Who the hell uses columns?!

Without the 7th Column, I would've never been able to annoy stosh into letting me be Chapter Founders staff, which lead to greater things. I'll miss you, you old beauity.

P.S. Thanks for sucking up all the time I was ment to be spending with Chicks! (Just kidding)

I use rows more. Then again, I used multiple types of every database. So you can imagine how screwed I am.

I know a certain founder who uses columns excessively, those wishing to take this out on someone PM me and I'll give you the name =D

Just so you know, the new version of the "Custom" resource is actually a merge of the custom columns and the custom rows from before. Trust me, it won't look like crap, even if you're using all 6 1000 character fields on each entry.

Well you guys at Bungie made Halo which is amazing and the first column was awesome. Also the new forums are awesome. There is no other group of people I would trust as much as I would trust Bungie with a game or something website related.

True, true, but why take away the Events part of the Sidebar? I thought that that was more of a boon than a hinderance. Particularly when Halo 2 comes out, the Events section would be used more than ever!

Of course, I trust that you, Achronos, and the rest of the Bungie Online Team know what they're doing, and I look forward to the new and improved Seventh Column. We'll miss the old Threaded view, but nothing comes without sacrifice...

That wouldn't happen if you didn't have a dumb 56K, lol.

I probably make a new chapter, dedicated to who knows what. Which reminds me, what should I dedicate that new chapter to?
