I was just wondering why the servers crash so often?

Need more info. Sometimes, what appears to be a server crash is entirely on your end (e.g. before you join the list says 0/16, but when you join there's a bunch of people still playing).

But based on the limited info I can at least tell you, in part, it is because Bungie is -blam!-...and stupid, but more -blam!- than stupid.

What's that I smell? This perhaps? Or maybe a ban?

What you smell Psyched is probably your own body odor, or to be more specific, bacteria that has grown foul from your lack of bathing combined with your poor cooling system (if you kept the room at a cool 60-65F, your foul bacteria wouldn't grow so fast).

Second, who gives a rats ass about being banned? Anyone can read the information, (which is about 1 part useful/ 9 parts other) so the only benefit is the ability to post, and if you can't post what you want to say, then getting banned really becomes irrelevant.

Finally, whoever is runing the servers is doing a lousy job and needs to know it, and Bungie, Microsoft, and Gearbox need to know they're doing a lousy job as well. If all they ever hear is how great they are from fanboy's like you, they're never going to improve what they have. This is the reason Microsoft does "skinner-box" type testing, and not goofy-fanboy polls, when making key decisions about a game. That's what Microsoft brought to the table when it redesigned Halo after taking it over from Bungie. Bungie would have had timed misssions and rescue-the-hostage scenarios had it not been for Microsoft and their "skinner-box" type tests.

So you see that is the genius of Microsoft, and the failing of Bungie...which is evidenced by Bungie's CONSTANT failure to give us what we want..."what we really, really want" ...GOOD DEDICATED SERVERS THAT HOST GAMES THAT WE ACTUALLY PLAY- AND NOT WHAT FANBOY'S LIKE YOU THINK WOULD BE A COOL GAME, BUT NEVER SEEM TO ACTUALLY PLAY.

You need proof, recall the former servers know as SHOOT_IT 1-3. Those servers were always filled 16/16 because the game remained constant:
ALWAYS Team Slayer
ALWAYS started with normal health and sheilds
ALWAYS started with pistol and secondary
ALWAYS had frendly fire OFF OFF OFF...MEANS NO TEAMKILLING ACCIDENTS

Maps Changed, vehicles changed, environment's weapons changed-BUT THAT WAS PRETTY MUCH ALL THAT CHANGED.

NO -blam!- snipers + noshields
NO stupid plasma pistol
NO stupid freindly fire ON (so you constanly have to worry about where your teams gonna respawn-means you can't have fun driving vehicles or throwing grenades).
NO stupid King of the hill, Oddball, or whatever other -blam!- games mixed into the rotation.

Some idiots probably think that it's all good, but no one seems willing to put their money where their mouth is because those servers (like Bungie's) are always empty. The funny thing is that when those servers do have a few people, it's only because people joined during team slayer <-- we know this because they quit as soon as those other -blam!- games pop-up.

Jezuz Christmas...Bungie was able to figure it out for CTF and gave CTF fanboys -like- a billion dedicated CONSISTENT CTF ONLY servers???? WTF????
Until Bungie can explain why they think only CTF deserves consistency, they are going to be labled lame, -blam!-, idiots and every other name known to man until they give us a proper response.

What's the point in writing so much crap if nobody is going to read it? Stop being so immature, and grow up. Seriously.

.
The message pops up about the game being shutdown then the servers are all off gamespy the IP's on bungies website for the servers are out of date or I would of checked with the all seeing eye.

Hey Psyched, you read it didn't you...retard.

Secondly, if growing up means being a blind-ignorant,follower-fanboy...then I choose to stay immature forever. Seriously, stay blind to the problems in the world...that's a REAL good way to make progress...must be some kind of MATURE progess that your probably into, eh Psyched.

Well, Dead-Meat...that only leaves me with the second part of my original answer :

"I can at least tell you, in part, it is because Bungie is -blam!-...and stupid, but more -blam!- than stupid."
