"I know not what weapons World War III will be fought with, but I do know that World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

-Albert Einstein

First things first, take a look up at that handy dandy URL bar up there.

Notice, at the end of the web address, where it says 'forumID=3'? (If you're not viewing a thread)

http://www.bungie.net/forums/topics.aspx?forumID=3

That is the forum address for this forum, right?

Just so happens that there is one for every other forum, including but not limited to;

Forum ID 1:
Bungie Universe

Forum ID 2:
Halo 1 & 2 for Pc

Forum ID 3:
Bungie.Net Community

Forum ID 4:
The Gallery

Forum ID 5:
The News

Forum ID 6:
Halo 2

Forum ID 7:
Halo CE

Now, here is where it gets interesting.
forumID=8 does not exist.


Forum ID 8:
'Forum 8'

However, there are two MORE forums after this, including The Classifieds and The Flood, with forum numbers 9 and 10, respectively.

Was there once a 'forum 8'? Was it deleted? Or was it simply just skipped when the site was created/updated?

Any thoughts?


Update:

Yeah, 8 was definitely Zanzibar, which was the multiplayer discussion forum. New Mombasa was the campaign discussion forum. They then merged into the Halo 2 Forum.

Optimatch ID number is 5576.


Solved?
Solved.

Hm, was it?

I can't quite remember.

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

Wasn't exactly the most popular forum. Also got nuked quite a while ago. Surprised I still remember.

This could be true.

OP, the forum IDs skip some numbers (the Crimson forum is #424745). This is probably because private groups have their own id's too. For example, The Marty Army is forum #11.

I was just curious due to it being such a low number, implying it was early in the site's history.

That forum exists with its own ID to boot.

This is quite perplexing, it could readily be Optimatch or Zanzibar...

Yeah, 8 was definitely Zanzibar, which was the multiplayer discussion forum. New Mombasa was the campaign discussion forum. They then merged into the Halo 2 Forum.

Optimatch ID number is 5576.
