Ok, as of 9:15 AM Pacific time, here are the following amounts of topics in each forum:

The Underground- 33,000 Topics
The Septagon- 6,650 Topics
Halo 3 Forum- 15,600 Topics
New Mombasa- 103,125 Topics
Optimatch- 41,875 Topics
The Maw- 9,675 Topics
The Library 8,550 Topics
The Gallery 9 Topics
The News 425 Topics
Voting Booth- 50 Topics
The Classifieds- 54,050 Topics
The Flood- 66,550 Topics
This equals for a total of 339,559 Topics.

Please note that this is based off 25 topics per page multiplied by the amount of pages, meaning that you could probably subtract between 5 and 15 from each topic, but this is the most accurate way to do this simply.
I will update this as often as I get around to it so I can keep track of how many there are to date. Expect it updated AT LEAST once a week. I hope this is found interesting. I would love to do a post count but that would take too much time unless I find a common denominator such as 50 to use as my number of posts per page, due to some topics have 2,000 posts while others have 9. I guess I could bump that up to 100. What do you guys think?

Read about the Forgotten Spartan I Program
Butane: To protect the world from devastation!
sir_brilliant: To unite all people within our nation!
Rainman89: To denounce the evils of truth and love!
sir_brilliant: To extend out reach to the stars above!
SpaceGhostFlyer: Jessie!
Butane: James!
sir_brilliant: Team Rocket blasting off at the speed of light
Butane: Surrender now or prepare to fight
sir_brilliant: Meowth, that's right!

actually, that probably took like three minutes.

More like 15, I had to multiply it, right it down, and then type it all up, and I am a slow typer. Yes, Ferret I am a little bored, but I thought this was interesting and so I just did it

I think that the Bungie.Net team has access to data-mining and reporting tools that could give reports similar to that with a great deal of accuracy and some other statistics that might be of interest.

Of course it is because they have access to the back-end. Running reports like that are probably part of the upkeep and monitoring of this site. It allows the management to know the traffic and patterns and to make more informed decisions when planning future expansions and improvements.


I figured they did but I was just doing this so the community could see for themselves, and I am pretty sure that this however is pretty acurate, but the numbers change every minute I know so this is accurate for now, but tonight this won't even be close to accurate.

Yeah I don't know if it would be worth a whole webpage of these things due to the majority of people don't really care about it, but I guess I have personally always been a little interested in things like this. I although do however see some other things that could be added to make the site better, but I won't elaborate here, rather in the feedback thread. I bet this is one of the most popular forums on the web. Especially being mainly about a few video games, while the views of Bungie are probably higher than Xbox.com, and Xbox.com has much more games, but Halo itself makes Bungie one of the most popular alive, which is why the 339,559 topics there were , is probably up to 339, 590 or so by now. Too bad there isn't a counter for the public to see how many people are logged in to the site right now, but I am sure there will be something similar to this in the future. The popularity of Bungie grows effeciently every single day, and I am sure that there are at least anywhere from 10-100 new members being added each day.
