Dear Bugnie/Webmaster, As we all know, in approximately 24 hours the servers for halo.bungie.net will be going down, and with it, a tremendous amount of personal history for Bungie and Halo fans alike. As an effort to preserve the website, I and a couple of buddies of mine have attempted to quite literally download the entire domain in a manner that it could be accessed identically to how it is/was in an offline format, or at least download all the files that would be necessary to do so. Unfortunately, such a feat was easier said than done, and given our lack of access to the admin controls, in addition to various other problems, we have only been able to save several thousand Halo: Reach profiles and a fraction of that for other games, let alone all the other cool gadgets and pages on the domain. As a life-long fan of both Bungie and Halo, being able to go and look back on old games not only of myself but of my friends, my older brother (who got an Xbox and Halo very early on), and friends I met along the way has been an experience and tool like no other. The date and time on when I met who and did what, the first time I linked up with my new school's friends after school, the matches we played, the friends we made on Xbox Live, Bungie.net's dedication to archiving community history has quite literally allowed me to better organize the timeline of my earlier years. Before the onset of COVID, I went to one of the Halo: Outpost Discovery events that Microsoft was hosting. Friends I made there who had been playing since Halo CE/2 held their game history up on Bungie.net as a trophy that could be still seen today. Various "OGs" talked with eachother about their stats and the times they were level 50 on the ranking system for various playlists. So much passion and love is built into this domain from both the community and you, the developer, it is too much to see go to waste. I ask you, dear Bungie, in a desperate attempt now at nearly 3am CST on a Sunday night to help with our band of 7 save the archive of a lifetime. We ask if it would be possible at some point in near future, when it is most convenient, to provide us with a file dump of the domain or some equivalent that would make it possible to make an offline render of the entire domain and the underworkings that power it. In addition, some of the site's more complex functionalities were taken offline in 2018. If at all possible, the data and files for that still exists out there somewhere for those parts of the domain and could be delivered, we would be ecstatic to be able to get our hands on them. With it now being 2021, and more uncertain and brave horizons on the way for Bungie, we respect the decision to stop support for halo.bungie.net. The website and its history means so much to the community and those who have passed. I hope that you will consider our request to help us save Bungie and Halo History.
