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!

Posted at: All Chapters
The 7th Column and all user groups are currently offline for a major system upgrade and server relocation.  Projected downtime is one to two weeks.

We're apologize for the downtime. Please bear with us while we kick some ass and get our site back in your grubby little hands.  We promise it will be a lot better when we're done. 



- Bungie.net Team


It has begun...

They must be working extremely fast to make a silly grammatical error like that.

EDIT: Nevermind. It's fixed probably because I said something.

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!


Not a lot of chapters used the event system, and it is a hideously complicated beast to write for a worldwide audience. It may come back, but features of limited use that are hideously complicated tend to get cut first.

As for the sidebar... what makes you think the layout is even remotely like how it was before? Especially given that user resources (formerly user databases) work completely differently now? No, everything is new again. :)

What I would like to know is that if the new chapter forums use the same format as Bnet, would our account settings (sig, avatar, etc.) be synchronized with the chapters?

It's probably too much to ask, but will chapters be able to support multiple (two or three) seperate message boards for different topics?

I PMed Achronos asking that question, and this is what he said
"The forums in the 7th column will be the same as the ones being used by the public forums (septagon, new mombassa, etc.) Your avatar will be the same as the avatar you have chosen for the entire site. Everything else, you'll just have to wait and see. "

I doubt it, what with demand and all that.

Achronos told me that there is only going to be one message board. It would just be too much, otherwise; think of the errors this place gets =P.

Hehe...my forums went berserk in the last few weeks before the upgrade...so much new blood mixing with the old is really constructive.

That is why it is called a chapter. Chapters that have over 40 members usually have only 8 or 9 active members and they are usually staff or something like that. A few new members may get excited at first and start posting but they usually die down after a few weeks. And who knows what happens to the rest.
