Oh hey there

Posted by: petarded2
It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

It seems like several Halo related sites have taken some hits lately.

I am incredibly saddened by this. I always enjoyed visiting that site for the community and the good people running it.

Why hello there.

Microwave ovens are quite large.

WORT, WORT,WORT!

-NUMS!

Too bad he's taking it down I really liked the stats there, It was interesting.

I wish him the best.

It's kind of sad, but their servers were slow as hell. Took 5 minutes to load a damned page there

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

I who walk alone in this world wrapped in the arms of the past not knowing what lies ahead of me. What am I? A soulless being to be beaten by the rage of those who hate me? Cutting my way past hopes and dreams. Sit in the window sill as I do every day and night resignations on my slate of who I am and what is left behind. Concealed in the words that chases my every thought. I who walk alone in this world…I am broken

I am always on HC and i am very sad to see this wonderful site go but the memories will always be there along with the friendships.

  • 11.17.2011 5:45 PM PDT

That honestly sounds kind of selfish. He should have passed on the site for someone else to host.

I mean if that's not possible then I take that back.

A lot more people besides the creator invested their time into that site, and I'm sure many would like to see it continued in some shape or form.

Can someone with the Knowing PM me what exactly Halo Sphere is? Thanks.

This is very sad. :/ I used to love this website; definitely a big part of Halo multiplayer history.

  • 11.17.2011 6:08 PM PDT

Wow. It's been a while since I've been there. Kinda sucks to see it go.

I remember joining HaloCharts three years ago. It's been a great asset to the Halo community, I'm sure someone will purchase the site from FS.

Really sad to see sites like Halocharts go down. By the fans and for the fans. That's what I love best about this community.

It is sad to see them go but I'm sure glad that somebody else bought me supporter status on their site.

I guess it's time to move to halotracker.

Certainly a surprise to everyone. The codebase for the site was massive. Besides just stats, the site had sig generators, page publishing tools, groups, real time chat, events, competitive teams, a built in halo themed RPG, and a regular podcast. TuffJuice had recently added some really cool stuff. Drag and drop streaming pages, mlg stream organizing, community twitter feeds, media pages, etc.

Was a fun 4 years anyway. Made many friends, and the groups and teams there gave me plenty of people to play Halo with. To see it all come to such an abrupt end is really disappointing. I'll miss hanging with Out of Formation and the Dude Nailerz on there. But, we all grow up, grow old, get families, and have to adjust priorities and move on. An end of an era for many that frequented the site.

I never thought I would see the day that HaloCharts gets shut down. Hopefully someone will continue the service if they can afford to keep the servers running. Like many others have said, just going into an end of an era.

Always a good idea, although sometimes it is hard to pass the reigns for a website that you created.

Short of that, there is always free real estate to be had on Bungie.net. Well, its not "real" because it is cyberspace. We have free fake estate here. But you get the idea.

If the special teams from HC need a fallback position, please welcome them to start private groups here. I would happily join them. People are telling me I need to join more of those.

Halo Charts has been a friend for a long time. They will be missed as an affiliate of the Good Game Network. I would like to have the chance to still play with you.

The site was awful. Their ranking formula made absolutely no sense and lots of the higher ups took it way too serious.

Not gonna name any names *cough* some people in this thread *cough*

Good riddens.

Drag and drop streaming pages

That was JQuery draggable hotness brought to you by Firestream, but thanks. I had a ton of fun working on that site.

In honor of HaloCharts, here's a quick little stat. As I write this I count 65,602 total salutes given. I'd like to add one more... a big salute to FS and the HC Community for creating a cool corner of the Internet to hang my hat.

Achronos: And what's this about a "design team" I've been hearing? Apparently stosh is so awesome he's now considered a "team".

It is indeed the end of an era, a sad ending at that.

Wow, that's quite a surprise, HaloCharts was pretty much the only Halo fansite I visited on a daily basis. Although I did think it was weird that the site was so quiet around the release of CEA...

Wow. Hope everything works out for him. Halo Charts has been around for years, and it's sad to see it come to an end. Hopefully someone can pick it back up.
