Time to screenshot any and all good posts from the old site

From Bungie's "This Week At Bungie":

Quote

The Old Gods

There are some relics of a different time still being hosted on our servers. Next week, we're retiring a few legacy services from the Halo era and consolidating others. Resident Archivist Roger Wolfson will explain what's changing and how it may affect you.

Roger: We're doing some (once a decade) spring cleaning on the halo.bungie.net site. First off, it's time to retire those old, read-only forums. If you have some archived threads bookmarked that you like to revisit for nostalgia purposes, please take some screenshots before we say goodbye to those forums.

Do you remember Bungie Pro Video? We said back in 2008 that we'd keep your renders available to download for a couple months. Ten years later, we're getting around to cleaning them up, so grab anything you want to keep around in the next week. Finally, the "details" views of old Halo matches will be trimmed down to just the line-item scores; your career pages will still have your overall medals chest, but individual games won't.

These changes go into effect on June 28 at 10 a.m. PDT. If you need to save anything, get it done before then.

good thing there's the wayback machine

oh but shit if they don't just take the site down that will update and get rid of them too

This is Bungie's ultimate fuck you to us huh?

Now they're eliminating the old site entirely only leaving Halo stats up. R.I.P my old account, my private groups, etc.

Years of history, deleted.

Honestly I'm surprised that they've kept it up for this long

Inb4 the inevitable deletion of forum accounts that don’t have Destiny 2 linked to them, even if the user is somewhat active in PMs

Not that shocking to hear, Bungie has been trying to get rid of their Halo legacy multiple times already. Had as lot of fun on that site and made lots of memories, the old B.net and that community were one of the first sites I really dedicated to, guess I will go make a bunch of screenshots while I still can. I'm too overly sentimental about things sometimes

Since everything obviously isn't going to be screenshotted, here's a timeline someone made of most of the major events that happened in the Flood from 2004 to 2013, starting with the suggestion of creating a forum for off-topic discussion and ending with the creation of B.next:

There's a program called HTTTrack that can download websites and have them displayed on your computer in a browsable format.

I could download the entire Flood section, but I have a feeling it will bloat my computer, and don't know a way to have it hosted on the internet and still accessible.

Is it really that important though at this point? It's been 5 years. The shit I wrote then isn't an accurate rep. of me anymore, nor I guess for many of you short of the few screenshots we've got for keepsies.

Indexing bots would’ve archived the entire site hundreds of times by now, surely.

That's very likely what's going to happen, One time Achronos told me in a PM that they have an idea on what they're going to do with orphan accounts (like they have no sign in key for example.) He didn't flat out say he's going to delete them, but that's probably what's going to happen to them.

So that wouldn't surprise me if they delete any account that does not have destiny 2 linked to it.

This was inevitable

Verbatim · June 23, 2018, 02:09:53 PM

Whatever

Jono · June 23, 2018, 03:53:54 PM

Went back to find my very first forum post. Even had Old Papa Rich comment in my thread and started an argument with someone.

I hated Rat's Nest back then but I grew to love that map.

I wonder if they're eliminating B.old avatars too. This used to be Charilie's.
