I randomly found this whilst looking for RSS feeds for bungie.net.

Bungie.net Technical Case Study - A Microsoft article on Bungie.net. It would make sense since I remember a post by Achronos talking about how Bungie.net was one of the first and largest systems to use .NET framework. So Bungie.net was almost a monument to all your sins... I mean to .NET and proof it could work on a large scale.

Reading through it it's pretty interesting and gives an insight into the website's design and architecture. Although outdated, a lot on Bnet still runs on this model. To most people this is irrelevant garbage but I know a few people who would enjoy reading this.

I would love to see something similar when the new IP is released and the new web site is up. Since I know the system is being overhauled/updated.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

ATTENTION MODERATORS. My latest ban (14-day ban from Qbix89) is not legitimate, take a look for yourself. Please review this before considering me a "repeat offender". Thank you.

Looks interesting. Too bad half of it is hard for me to understand.

How did you already know everything from the case study without knowing prior that the page even existed?

I remember that.
May favorite part..The Bungie.net Application Engine

The brains of the Bungie.net Web site lie in the application engine. All user requests are passed to the application where the engine validates the user credentials and determines what the user is allowed to see and do on the site. For example, anonymous users cannot create new post items in forums or see game statistics. The application engine also acts as a dispatcher for data retrieval operations and interacts with custom caching components to help improve scalability. The application engine manages all database access and performs all authentication and authorization processes. The engine is implemented as a DLL and exists on each of the front-end Web servers and is instantiated directly via an ASP.NET code-behind model.

How come all the cool companies are started by two guys in a garage?

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

This is really interesting. I'm still reading though, man this is long.

Wicked PEPSI!

Is life worth living?....Well, that depends on the liver'er.

Nice find OP, but it only really talks about Bungie's success using .NET

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

I never knew this existed, nice find.
