Everyone knows that the new Bungie.net has seen a substantial increase in overall traffic and membership. When we launched the new site back on April 13th (our "official launch day" even though we were live starting the afternoon of the 12th) we got nearly one million page views in a single day. To put it in perspective... that's a LOT. The crusty old Bnet of yesteryear didn't have fancy stat-tracking so we really don't have much hard data to compare it to, so suffice it to say that we've already eclipsed the lifetime traffic of the old site in a matter of weeks.
Here's a quick look at the past few months of Bungie.net by the numbers:
[*][b]28,000,000[/b] total page views (as of 6/7)
[*][b]176,886[/b] forum posts (as of today!.. and only 3 moderators, yikes!)
[*][b]37,000[/b] daily unique visitors (on avg.)
[*][b]24,300[/b] new user accounts created (as of 6/7)
[*][b]13[/b] new Halo 2 screenshots
[*][b]4[/b] death threats
[*][b]2[/b] marriage proposals
[*][b]1[/b] complaint from Microsoft legal regarding image of a drunken Webmaster on our error page
It's been an exciting few weeks and the game isn't even out yet! Stick around, we're just getting warmed up and there's plenty of good stuff yet to come... And tell your friends and your friends' friends, the more the merrier. Our Underground Army is going to need to be rather large before we can attempt to act on our final, secret plans for world domination.

Why the hell is it I'm nearly always the first one here?
-
If they pull the drunken Webmaster, be sure to send me a copy of it. Just so I can, y'know, send it back to them.
-
We've had [i] 28,000,000[/i] pageviews since 6/7?! Holy crap that's a lot!
-
Can Microsoft actually make you pull the wasted Webmaster error page off the site? Good thing I saved it if so!

ObbiQuiet, we let you have the first post, as you seem to enjoy it so much. Besides, if you didn't have it, you may just get peeved at the person who did get it, and that would up the death threats rate.

Wow I can't believe that it has reached that many. I've been on since April unofficially and have a been a diehard fan of bungie. It's always awesome to see them succeed. Great job guys keep up the good work. Mmmmmmmmmmm...................world domination!!!!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ribok126 yoozel with the CAlvin and halo calvin avatar he the strong silent type[/quote] Did you just call Yoozel silent? Strong? The incredulity of that comment has me stuttering. (Of course, the fact that I am typing doesn't really matter).

I've been hearing about this whole world domination thing for a while. And I know you plan on using the sales of Halo 2 to do it. And so my question is... Is this world domination thing real? Also, once you have this power, what will you do with it? cheers, Twisted Chains

You guys should really get that edit thing fixed. Anyway... EDIT: I've been hearing about this whole world domination thing for a while. And I know you plan on using the sales of Halo 2 to do it. And so my question is... Is this world domination thing real? Also, if so, once you have this power, what will you do with it? cheers, Twisted Chains[/quote]

WORLD DOMINATION!!!
-
as for yoozel I was just joking he just doesn't seem to talk much so I used a stereotypical reference
-
If when bungie rules the world we will force everyone to bow down to MC. Cortanna shall be king and Sergant Johnson will be prince.
-
I come to this site every day and I love it. I would increase the ammout of marriage proposals to 3 but having a relationship on the web isnt the best. Darn. And please get a playable demo out before Nov. 9th. Love of the game from Infuryen.
-
What kind of server is this site run off of? What kind connection does it have?
-
Only four death threats? I thought the Webmaster alone would be good for at least six... -- Steve hopes that the Webmaster error page stays on the site, at least long enough for him to sleep it off.

We visit so often because we want to see more of Halo 2! We need our regular 'fix', we need to see more footage, more screenshots, and more information on the game of this new millenium!!! My soul for more Halo 2 footage!
