Update: Okay, everything should be working fine now. If any more issues come up, be sure to message me so I can get to them immediately.
There is an issue with account creation and sometimes logins as well right now. Blank pages and incorrect errors are being returned. Some users will not be able log in or create an account. I am working on the problem.

Gone on Vacation
Gone on Vacation
I'm going to be away on vacation from tomorrow until the end of the month, but I leave you in the more than capable hands of Bungie's Online Team. I'll be checking the site occasionally, but if you need a problem addressed please contact one of the other staff members. Thanks.
Maw 700 Contest 1 Results
Maw 700 Contest 1 Results
Claude writes in to say:
"Over at halo.bungie.org, Contest 1 of the Maw 700 closed today - and the winning time was an amazing 2:43.90. Congratulations to all entrants - anything over 2 minutes is pretty impressive - but most of all to Frogblast, who once again went where nobody else had. Full details (including Honorable Mentions) can be found at the Contest 1 page. Now it's time to gear up for Contest 2!"
More Eye Candy
More Eye Candy
This week we bring you more
desktop wallpaper. These ones are nice, dark, outer space shots. The perfect thing to compliment your computer's appearance. We've also added new
concept art for the human forces.

Marty playing requests...
You asked for it, Bungie's own Marty O'Donnell has made available the sheet music to The Siege of Madrigal. It's short, it's simple, but oh-so-powerful.

New Chapter For Founders
New Chapter For Founders
I've created a new chapter,
Chapter Founders, meant as a gathering place for those of you who run your own chapters. Right now you have to ask to join, but if people like it we'll automate things so that all founders are members. If you're running your own chapter head on over, join up, and participate!
New LAN Poll
New LAN Poll
There's a new Bungie.net poll up, this time asking if you've been to a Halo LAN party.
According to our previous poll 6 out of every 10 of you belong to a Seventh Column chapter. Those of you that answered "What's the Seventh Column?" should
read this. Those that can't find a chapter in their area should try
searching by location. If there's not yet a chapter near you then keep an eye on the New Chapters list on the
Seventh Column site (I just made it display location). Those of you without an Xbox have our sympathy. And for the rest, those that are afraid of people they meet on the Internet or that simply don't like people, you need to get out more!
New Job Opening
New Job Opening
If you head over to Bungie.com and check out our [url=/Inside/Page.aspx?section=Jobs&subsection=Main&page=1]jobs page[/url] you'll see we have a new opening for a producer. You'll also notice we still haven't filled our 3D environment artist position yet, so if you think you have the m4d sk1llz it takes to be a Bungie employee, swing on by.
Short Outage
Short Outage
At approximately 4:15pm Pacific time www.bungie.net will be unavailable for about five minutes. The support site at support.bungie.com will also go offline, but it will be down for a longer period, maybe as much as an hour.
New Poll Up
New Poll Up
We've posted a new poll, this time asking, well... go see for yourself. Our resolution poll ended with 44% of you setting your resolution to 1024x768, 16% to 1280x1024, 13% to 800x600, 12% to 1152 x 864, 7% to 1600x1200 and 5% to 640 x 480.
New Marius.net Accounts
New Marius.net Accounts
Conner has stated on the
Marius.net site that they'll be accepting new registrations for this weekend only. If you've been itching for a real account on their server then this is your opportunity. Don't blow it!
New Chapters Approved
New Chapters Approved
Looks like we had a backlog of new chapter submissions. Sorry about that. I've just gone through them all and approved a ton, if you had one waiting go check it out.
HBO Interview Database
HBO Interview Database
Halo.bungie.org has added a database of all
Halo Interviews. I was surprised to find my old HaloPlayers interview on there, from way back when we thought Halo would have Internet access. Jeez, things do change! Anyway, it's a great resource, be sure to check it out.
New Feature: Game Reviews
New Feature: Game Reviews
UpdateThank Cpt_Canuck for this idea, it was his suggestion.
I've forgotten who suggested this, but it seemed a fine idea so I went ahead and created a Game Review database type for chapters. Use it to post reviews and have members rate console games, PC games, board games, drinking games, whatever!
Extreme Close-ups & More...
Extreme Close-ups & More...
This week on Tru7h & Reconciliation, we thought we'd try something new for our screenshot section:
Extreme Close-ups. Some are easy to figure out, others may take a bit more work. We'll leave that up to you. ;o) Also we've added a new section--by request we've created a
Desktop Section for customizing your PCs with all kinds of Halo goodness. This week, halo logo art, including the elusive gamestock splash screen.
Seventh Column Motto Revealed
Seventh Column Motto Revealed
Total Codex just reminded me that I never announced the official choice for the Seventh Column motto. Whoops. The official motto (currently being worked into a pretty friggin' cool shirt design) is
"Tru7h. Carnage. Bungie."
New Feature: Site Change Log
New Feature: Site Change Log
It's a little odd to post news about every minor bug fix or change to the site to the top level on this site, so we've created a new home for these posts over on the left, beneath the poll. If you're looking for up to date news on known bugs or bug fixes or even minor feature additions for Bungie.net or your Seventh Column chapter sites then this is the place to go.
News Posting Having Issues
News Posting Having Issues
Update: The problem has been resolved. Your news posting results should display properly now. I also fixed a small issue with the activity log not recording everything it was supposed to, so you can see more info now.
Some of you may have noticed that when you attempt to post a new news story that instead of seeing the "success" message, you see a page header and nothing else. I am aware of the problem and am working to correct it. Your news still is getting posted, so don't just blindly hit "reload", you'll end up double posting.
More Formatting Shortcuts
More Formatting Shortcuts
You now have the following shortcuts available for formatting text on this site: B for bold, I for italic, TT for teletype, and LI for list items. Even better,
you can now name links! That's right, just add a name attribute to your links and you'll end up with something
like this. You'll see updated instructions for all of this when you make a post. Enjoy!

Messaging Not Quite Working
Messaging Not Quite Working
Update: Messaging is fixed. Move along.
Messaging is messed up again (you'll see a db error when you try to send), though fortunately emailing messages still works. Achronos says he knows what the problem is and is fixing it.
